Answer:

c.The atmosphere, a plant, a herbivore, a decomposer, then back to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle through which carbon is exchanged between the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and Earth's atmosphere. Together with the nitrogen cycle and the water cycle, the carbon cycle comprises a sequence of events that is key to making the Earth capable of sustaining life; describes the movement of carbon when it is recycled and reused by the biosphere, including carbon sinks.

A single carbon atom would more likely go from the atmosphere through being absorbed by a plant and, later, it would enter into the organism of a herbivore that eats the plant. After the herbivore dies, the carbon atom would enter into the organism of a decomposer that would expel it back again into the atmosphere.

Where are glaciers found? Check all the apply In the ocean In the tropics At earth's pole At high latitudes At high altitudes
vfiekz [6]

The correct answers are:

- At Earth's pole;

- At high latitudes;

- At high altitudes;

The glaciers are a frozen ice mass that is slowly moving from a higher toward a lower region. For them to exist, specific conditions are required, the most important of which is that the climate is very cold throughout the whole year. The places that provide suitable conditions for the existence of glaciers are the Antarctica (where most of them are located), the island of Greenland, as well as the very high mountains that have cold weather throughout the whole year, especially at their highest parts, like the Alps and the Himalayas.

How are prevailing winds formed
zhuklara [117]

Prevailing winds are the planetary winds that are caused by the formation of giant convection cells over the earth. Prevailing winds blow from the hot regions of the earth, like the tropics, to the cold areas of the earth, like the temperate or polar regions, and from the cold areas back to the hotter regions.
