Carbon cycle refers to the interconversion of carbon and its compounds from one form to another in nature. It helps to bring balance to the amount of carbon compounds in nature.
Thus, through the process of respiration plants take in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into their stomata, giving off oxygen as by-product. While during photosynthesis, CO2 is used to produce sugar molecules such as glucose, that are consumed by consumers.
Two tectonic plates had the same density and a collision of the plates pushed the advancing plate that contained fossilized marine organisms upward forming the Himalayan mountains and Mount Everest.
