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.

What is going on with the natural world around you?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Explanation:

Last year we had the most handsome of ducks -- a mallard. He was with us until the end of June at which time the water on our property dried up. I have a feeling his mate got tired of sitting on the nest all the time and demanded he help.  They built their nest in a thicket that was impossible to get near. We knew about where it was, but it did us no good.

We did get to see the young ones once or twice. It is amazing how quickly they grow. By the end of September, they were all ready to go south -- even the young ones.

This year is very dry -- there's no water for them. So we have not seen the mallards or ducks of any kind and no geese either. We all miss them.

Trade winds in the northern hemisphere Blow from:
quester [9]

The correct answer is - east to west.

The trade winds are located between the Equator and the mid-latitudes, or rather in the tropical zone. They are found on both, the North Hemisphere and the South Hemisphere.

In the North Hemisphere, the trade winds are also called northeasterly trades. They move in a roughly east to west direction, beginning from the northern parts of the tropical zone, getting southwards, and then make a turn towards the west.
