Editing The Carbon Cycle (section)

* '''The Carbon Cycle''' — The biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth.
* '''Photosynthesis''' — The process by which plants take CO2 from the air and turn it into sugar (Organic Carbon).
* '''Respiration''' — The process by which living things "Breathe out" CO2 back into the atmosphere.
* '''Decomposition''' — When dead plants and animals rot, releasing carbon into the soil or the air.
* '''Combustion''' — The burning of wood or fossil fuels (Coal, Oil, Gas), which releases "Millions of years" of stored carbon into the air in a single second.
* '''Carbon Sink''' — Anything that "Absorbs" more carbon than it releases (e.g., Oceans, Forests).
* '''Carbon Source''' — Anything that "Releases" more carbon than it absorbs (e.g., Volcanoes, Burning coal).
* '''Dissolution''' — The process of CO2 dissolving into ocean water (which makes the ocean more acidic).
* '''Sedimentation''' — When carbon-rich shells and skeletons sink to the bottom of the ocean and turn into rock (like Limestone) over millions of years.
* '''The Greenhouse Effect''' — How CO2 and other gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun, keeping the Earth warm.
