Hey there, thx for posting your question to Brainly, i've posted some information below and an explanation, hope it helps you<3

Carbon moves from the atmosphere to plants. In the atmosphere, carbon is attached to oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2). Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is pulled from the air to produce food made from carbon for plant growth.

Carbon moves from plants to animals. Through food chains, the carbon that is in plants moves to the animals that eat them. Animals that eat other animals get the carbon from their food too.

Carbon moves from plants and animals to soils. When plants and animals die, their bodies, wood and leaves decays bringing the carbon into the ground. Some is buried and will become fossil fuels in millions and millions of years.

Hey! Hope i was able to help, have a good one.

Answer: Groundwater can remain in subsurface storage for long periods of time.

Explanation:

The ground water is the water reservoir that gets accumulated beneath the earth crust due to the accumulation of water that seeps into the soil and rock due to the absorption by water bodies river, lakes, ponds, oceans, and rain or any kind of precipitation. The groundwater remains as a subsurface storage of water until the site of groundwater is searched and water is extracted from it for household, agricultural or industrial purposes.

Which two processes cycle carbon directly between the atmosphere and biosphere?

jenyasd209 [6]

Carbon dioxide is essential to plant life and is a key part of the global carbon cycle. An important component of this cycle takes place when plants take in CO2 and break it down into carbon and oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. The carbon is stored in the plant and the oxygen is released to the atmosphere.
