Question

How is carbon moved from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

the various ways of input of CO_2 into the atmosphere.

1.Dissolved  CO 2 in the ocean is released back into the atmosphere by heating ocean surface water

2.Plant and animal respiration, an exothermic reaction involving the breakdown into CO 2 and water of organic molecules.

3. Degradation of fungi and bacteria which are responsible for breaking down carbon compounds in dead animals and plants(fossils) and convert carbon into CO2 when oxygen or methane is present.

4.Combustion of organic matter (that includes deforestation and combustion of fossil fuels) oxidizing to produce CO2;

5. Cement production when calcium carbonate (limestone) is heated to produce calcium oxide(lime), cement component, and CO2 are released;
