Water and Carbon Cycle

When humans EXHALE, we release ____________________.

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen

• Water

• Carbon Dioxide

How does carbon get into the ocean?

• Diffusion - Shells and other carbon containing organism dissolve into the water

• Cellular Respiration - animals in the ocean breath out carbon dioxide

• Fossil Fuels - Human's burn fossil fuels and the oil ends up in the ocean

• Rain - Rain water contains carbon that ends up in the ocean

How do living organisms return carbon to the atmosphere in the carbon cycle?

• respiration and photosynthesis

•  decomposition and respiration

What is the energy source that drives the water cycle?

• The moon T

• The heat from our home in the winter all around the world

• The sun

• he heat generated solely from the core of the earth
