In 3 to 5 sentences, describe how the diagram of Earth's carbon cycle demonstrates the interactions among the biosphere ( plants), lithosphere (ground), the atmosphere ( air), in the hydrosphere ( water).
The Earth's carbon cycle diagram shows how carbon moves between the biosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Plants in the biosphere take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and release oxygen. Animals consume these plants, transferring carbon through the food chain. Carbon is also exchanged between the atmosphere and oceans, as carbon dioxide dissolves in water and is taken up by marine organisms. The lithosphere plays a role in storing carbon in rocks and releasing it through volcanic activity. These interactions demonstrate the interconnectedness of Earth's systems in maintaining the balance of carbon in the environment.
