Diagram of the carbon cycle to label. Feeding respiration death and excretion. Flow rates are in gigatons of carbon per year gtcy. 8th 12th grades number of days for completion of the project. The ocean plays an important role in the global carbon cycle.
Carbon cycle worksheet 3 the carbon cycle diagram above shows more stores and processes. Reservoirs are labeled with white text in units of gigatons of carbon gtc. Processes that transfer carbon between these reservoirs that should be included in your diagram are. We have simplified this diagram to only focus on land based carbon movement but can you think of other places you may.
Students will be provided with a glossary page containing the definitions for the various components of the carbon cycle along with a diagram of the carbon cycle with blanks for fill in. This diagram of the carbon cycle shows the major flows in the fast carbon cycle and the main reservoirs of the carbon cycle as a whole both the fast and slow carbon cycles. Carbon moves in and out of the ocean daily but it is also stored there for thousands of years. Carbon moves in and out of the ocean daily but it is also stored there for thousands of years.
Which stores do you think can hold the most carbon. White numbers indicate stored carbon. 521 draw and label a diagram of the carbon cycle. Here is the exact flow of events as carbon flows from one layer to another as shown in the diagram above.
Diagram adapted from us. Recreate a model of the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle carbon is a chemical. Arrows indicate flows of carbon between reservoirs and are labelled with yellow text.
05 overarching project goalsoutcomes. Getting background knowledge for a scientific investigation. The carbon cycle grade and subject. Use arrows to show the movement of carbon in the cycle among the atmosphere biosphere hydrosphere and geosphere.
Gain a deeper understanding of how the carbon cycle works in this. Are there any processes that could be prevented. Yellow numbers are natural fluxes and red are human contributions in gigatons of carbon per year. The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere pedosphere geosphere hydrosphere and atmosphere of the earthcarbon is the main component of biological compounds as well as a major component of many minerals such as limestone.
Which processes do you think help to move the most carbon around the cycle. The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon moves from the atmosphere into the earth and its organisms and then back again. Along with the nitrogen cycle and the water cycle the carbon cycle comprises a sequence of events that are key to make.
