It begins with carbon moving from land to the atmosphere. Through combustion, carbon turns to gaseous carbon dioxide. When the atmosphere interacts with the hydrosphere, some of the carbon dioxides dissolves in the water as dissolved carbon dioxide. This can also happen through precipitation. Some of the dissolved carbon dioxides can react with water  into carbonic acid.



One way is through the burning of fossil fuels. One of the products of the burning of hydrocarbons is carbon dioxide.  Another is clearing of forests. Forests are major carbon sinks since trees sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Answer:

Weathering, Erosion

Explanation:

Plants and animals can be agents of mechanical weathering. The seed of a tree may sprout in soil that has collected in a cracked rock. As the roots grow, they widen the cracks, eventually breaking the rock into pieces. Over time, trees can break apart even large rocks.

Tree root systems have a handful of large roots that branch out into a network of smaller roots that often extend out far beyond their branches do. These root systems prevent erosion by holding the soil in place and improving drainage which helps water get absorbed into the soil instead of just running over the top.

Hope this helps

All the love, Ya boi Fraser :)
