Draw and label Carbon Dioxide and
Oxygen Cycles. Carbon is a part of all
living things and flows through the
carbon cycle mainly as carbon dioxide
gas. Oxygen, which makes up more than
20% of the atmosphere, also cycles
through the environment. Both carbon
and oxygen cycle through living and
non-living things in the environment.

Deforestation and the burning of fossil
fuels increase carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere. The greenhouse effect
occurs when heat is trapped close to
Earth’s surface by gases in the
atmosphere. Acidity in water, caused by
greater amounts of carbon dioxide and
other gases in water, can alter the life
cycles of marine life.
