New page

==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
The '''Carbon Cycle''' is a set of processes that naturally [[recycling|recycle]] [[Carbon]].

===About the Carbon Cycle===
: Some processes put Carbon into the [[Earth's Atmosphere|atmosphere]] as [[Carbon Dioxide]] and others take [[Carbon Dioxide]] out of the [[atmosphere]].

|-
| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |This [[diagram]] shows [[Carbon Cycle]] which shows how [[photosynthesis]] takes [[Carbon Dioxide]] out of the [[atmosphere]].
|}

====Adding Carbon Dioxide to the Atmosphere====
: [[Respiration]] - All living creatures [[respiration|respire]] and produce [[Carbon Dioxide]].
: [[Combustion]] of [[Fossil Fuel]]s - When [[Coal]] and [[Crude Oil]] are burned they produce [[Carbon Dioxide]].
: [[Decay]] - When [[organism]]s rot or [[decay]] the process produces [[Carbon Dioxide]].
: [[Volcano]]es - These release [[Carbon Dioxide]] into the [[atmosphere]].

====Removing Carbon Dioxide from the Atmosphere====
: [[Photosynthesis]] - Most [[Carbon Dioxide]] is taken out of the atmosphere by [[algae]] '''photosynthesising''' in the oceans.
: Dissolving in Oceans - The [[Ocean]]s absorb [[Carbon Dioxide]].
: Making Shells - Sea creatures with hard shells use [[Carbon Dioxide]] [[dissolve]]d in the [[water]].

====Carbon Sinks====
A [[Carbon Sink]] is part of the [[Earth]] that absorbs and stores [[Carbon]].
: The Ocean is a [[Carbon Sink]] storing a large amount of [[dissolve]]d [[Carbon Dioxide]].
: The Sea bed is a [[Carbon Sink]] where many [[organism]]s, that are made of mostly [[Carbon]], fall to the bottom and get trapped in [[sediment]].
: Forests are [[Carbon Sink]]s as the trees use [[photosynthesis]] to grow.
: Swamps are [[Carbon Sink]]s as many plants get stuck under the water and cannot [[decay]]. This [[Carbon]] eventually becomes [[Coal]] trapped underground.
