I WONDER - Where Does Carbon Come From? Me Pregunto - De Dónde Proviene El Carbono?

The video explains how carbon is released into the atmosphere through three main processes: combustion, respiration, and decomposition. Combustion involves burning fuels, trees, or plants, releasing carbon back into the air. Respiration is a process performed by all living things, where oxygen is inhaled and transformed into carbon dioxide, which is then expelled. Decomposition occurs when plants and animals die, returning carbon to the earth or releasing it into the air.

Describe what happens to carbon when plants and animals die.

What role does decomposition play in the carbon cycle?
