The Atmosphere

Reorder the following

• Organisms dies and the carbon stored in their bodies becomes trapped in fossilised remains

• Carbon dioxide dissolves into the oceans and reacts with elements to form carbonates

• Bacteria and plants evolve and carry out photosynthesis reducing carbon dioxide and increasing oxygen

• Water condenses to form oceans

• Volcanic eruptions released carbon dioxide and water vapour
