What is a process that cause carbon to move out of the atmosphere?

Photosynthesis: plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and use it to build carbohydrates.
Dissolving: carbon dioxide dissolves in rainwater and oceans.
Photosynthesis removes carbon from the atmosphere in the form of CO2. By doing so the carbon is "fixated" into an organic molecule which consumers can use. This process is performed by plants, algae, and some species of bacteria.
Chemosynthesis also fixates carbon, but usually in the form of methane or carbon dioxide typically in deep sea hydrothermal vents or in hot springs. This process is performed by some species of bacteria and archaea.
Formation of carbonates in the ocean
Any green plants, so forests, rainforests, timber plantations.

How does carbon move from plants and animals into the atmosphere?
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What are gaseous cycle?
Gaseous cylces Is a process by which elements like oxygen,carbon, nitrogen & water move through atmosphere in a gaseous phase . The reservoir pool is atmosphere or water .
What 2 processes that cause carbon to move out of the atmosphere?
photosynthesis: plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and use it to build carbohydrates.dissolving: carbon dioxide dissolves in rainwater and oceans.
During which process do ice and snow on Earth move directly from the solid state into water vapor in the atmosphere?
During the process of Sublimation.
What process would cause acid to move through agar jelly?
diffusion

How does carbon move from the atmosphere into the deep ocean?
the carbon dissolves into the water
How does carbon move from the atmosphere to the oceans?
The oceans, and other bodies of water, soak up some carbon from the atmosphere.

What process enables water molecules to move from the ocean to the atmosphere?
Process of evaporation.
How does the water move into the atmosphere?
It does so by the process called evaporation.
Why does the phosphorus cycle occur slower than the carbon and nitrogen cycles?
Phosphorus, not found in the atmosphere like carbon and nitrogen, take a longer time to move through solids. Phosphorus cycles through sedimentary rock which takes a lot longer of a process.
How does the destruction of forests contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is not absorbed, and oxygen produced, and the carbon (of CO2) cannot form biomass), because there are no trees. Photosynthesis is the process in green plant material (leaf , grass etc.,) where carbon dioxide is absorbed, and oxygen produced into the atmosphere. 'u.v' light(sunlight) is also needed; the process does NOT proceed at night. The carbon of CO2 forms part of the plant's biomass. Trees are particularly efficient at this process, but ALL green plant material (grass , leaves, etc.,) undergoes the process. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a heavy gas, and will fall to the ground, hence it will react with plant material, and not move into the upper atmosphere.
What is the process called where gases move between the ocean's surface and the atmosphere?
