The Carbon Cycle Reading
assignment!!
• Read and annotate the following article
• Remember to annotate each sentence
• Answer the questions in complete sentences
• Bring it to me for a stamp when finished!
The Carbon Cycle Vocabulary
Review
• Please make flash cards for the following vocabulary words for the
quiz on Friday!
• When finished bring it up for a stamp from Ms. Andrews!
• Output, input, urbanization, deforestation, fossil fuel burning, fossil,
inorganic, decomposer, glucose, energy, changing land use, the
chemical equation for photosynthesis, chemical equation for cellular
respiration ( PLEASE IDENTIFY THE COMPOUNDS IN EACH
EQUATION LIKE WE DID IN CLASS DURING NOTES!!!)
• Once you are finished with the flash cards, find something to work
on, especially if you have late work to turn in!!

The Carbon Cycle Continued
• In the carbon cycle, there are various sinks or reservoirs that store
carbon.
• The amount of carbon being exchanged in each process determines
growing (more space to
whether the specific sink/reservoir is
hold C) or shrinking (less space to hold C).
• The MAIN sinks/reservoirs for carbon dioxide are in the oceans and
in rock.
• Currently, the ocean sink/reservoir is
growing
The Carbon Cycle Continued
• Carbon in the OCEANS:
• Carbon dioxide (CO2 ) dissolves easily in water (just like in your
soda).
• Once CO2 is dissolved in ocean water, it may precipitate (fall out of
solution) as a solid rock known as calcium carbonate (limestone).
• This is how ocean reefs are made.
• Dissolved carbon dioxide is also
used by marine
plants for
photosynthesis.
Limestone
(made from calcium
carbonate)
The Carbon Cycle Continued
• Carbon and human activities:
• Two additional processes in the carbon cycle are fossil fuel
burning and changing land use.
• Fossil fuel burning – when coal, oil, natural gas, and gasoline are
consumed by industry, power plants, and automobiles.
• ALL living organisms are made of carbon
• “Fossil” – remains of something that was once living
• Fossil fuels come from deeply buried and compacted plant and animal
remains containing carbon
• Changing land use = deforestation,
urbanization
• Deforestation: The loss of forests due to
cutting or burning of trees.
• Urbanization: The process of cities
growing larger (more buildings, malls,
parking lots, homes, etc and less green
spaces)
