The Carbon Cycle Reading assignment!!

•Read and annotate the following article• Remember to annotate each sentence

•Answer the questions in complete sentences

•Bring it to me for a stamp when finished!

The Carbon Cycle Vocabulary Review

• Please make flash cards for the following vocabulary words for the quiz on Friday!

• When finished bring it up for a stamp from Ms. Andrews!

• Output, input, urbanization, deforestation, fossil fuel burning, fossil, inorganic, decomposer, glucose, energy, changing land use, the chemical equation for photosynthesis, chemical equation for cellular respiration ( PLEASE IDENTIFY THE COMPOUNDS IN EACH EQUATION LIKE WE DID IN CLASS DURING NOTES!!!)

• Once you are finished with the flash cards, find something to work on, especially if you have late work to turn in!!

The Carbon Cycle Continued• In the carbon cycle, there are various sinks or reservoirs that store

carbon.

• The amount of carbon being exchanged in each process determines

whether the specific sink/reservoir is growing (more space to hold C) or shrinking (less space to hold C).

• The MAIN sinks/reservoirs for carbon dioxide are in the oceans and in rock.

• Currently, the ocean sink/reservoir is growing

The Carbon Cycle Continued•Carbon in the OCEANS:• Carbon dioxide (CO2 ) dissolves easily in water (just like in your

soda). • Once CO2 is dissolved in ocean water, it may precipitate (fall out of

solution) as a solid rock known as calcium carbonate (limestone). • This is how ocean reefs are made. • Dissolved carbon dioxide is also used by marine

plants for photosynthesis.

Limestone(made from calcium carbonate)

The Carbon Cycle Continued• Carbon and human activities:• Two additional processes in the carbon cycle are fossil fuel

burning and changing land use. • Fossil fuel burning – when coal, oil, natural gas, and gasoline are

consumed by industry, power plants, and automobiles. • ALL living organisms are made of carbon• “Fossil” – remains of something that was once living• Fossil fuels come from deeply buried and compacted plant and animal

remains containing carbon• Changing land use = deforestation,

urbanization• Deforestation: The loss of forests due to

over-cutting or burning of trees. • Urbanization: The process of cities

growing larger (more buildings, malls, parking lots, homes, etc and less green spaces)
