Question

After decomposition in the carbon cycle, put the following steps in order.

Answer 1

The correct answer is after decomposition in the carbon cycle, it is first fossil fuels or vulcanic eruption, respiration, and photosynthesis.

Explanation

The carbon cycle is the way that carbon circulates through the atmosphere, oceans, and the Earth's surface and interior through chemical, physical, geological, and biological processes. This cycle is very important because carbon is present in all elements of the Earth. Decomposition is the stage in which organisms (plants and animals) break down and are absorbed by the soil. After millions of years, the carbon contained in these organic wastes becomes the mineral coal that is exploited in mines and extracted for use as fossil fuels, another part of this compound mixes with the processes of the lithosphere and is expelled. in volcanic eruptions. Also, once absorbed by the soil, it feeds the plants that serve as food for different animals that use it for one of their basic processes such as respiration. Once in the atmosphere, the plants absorb carbon again to make their photosynthesis. Therefore, the correct order of the steps of the carbon cycle is Fossil fuels, respiration, photosynthesis.
