What happens to carbon during photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight and water.
Why is the carbon cycle essential to life on Earth?
Well we can't breath it so there had to be a way to cycle it in to oxygen so that all living things except plants have to have oxygen so but plants have to have carbon dioxide, in other word we need plants and plants need us
How do earth systems interact in the carbon cycle?
They provide materials organisms need to build their bodies.
In what ways is carbon stored in the biosphere?
carbon is stored in the trosphere of the earth. but its more quantity can results in disruption
What is a major cause of variation within species?
Variation of a species can come about in many ways, but mutation is the major cause of variation in a species.
How is carbon dioxide taken out of the atmosphere besides photosynthesis?
Some carbon dioxide is absorbed by the top levels of the oceans where it is beginning to turn the oceans more acidic. That and photosynthesis are the only ways that carbon dioxide is taken out of the atmosphere. Industries that emit carbon dioxide pollution are trialling ways of trapping carbon dioxide as it goes up the chimney stacks (scrubbers).
How does weathering affects earth's oceans and land in constructive and destructive ways?
how does weathering affect earths oceans and land in constructive and distructive ways
What affects does the moon have on earths oceans?
The moon affects the oceans on earth in many ways. It raises tides in oceans. It helps cleaning ocean water.
How do oceans deal with large amounts of carbon dioxide?
There are several ways that the oceans are related to atmospheric carbon dioxide:Carbon dioxide dissolvs into water to make a weakly acid carbonic acid. The acidity of the ocean water has increased with increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levelsOf the plants on the earth, phytoplankton probably accounts for 80% of the earth's oxygen from photosynthesis where CO2 is converted to O2. Some speculate that an increase in carbon dioxide may cause a phytoplankton bloom.Some ocean animals (corals and mollusks) use carbon dioxide as carbonate to form their shells
Three ways that oceans are different from each other?

What are some ways carbon moves?
Carbon Moves by farting
What are 2 ways carbon enters the atmosphere?
Combustion, burning of just about anything.combustion
What were two ways in which political machines held power?
Name two ways in which political machines held power.
How does carbons get in the oceans?
Some of the carbon dioxide from the air dissolves in the ocean and combines with calcium to form Calcium carbonate, which is incorporated into the shells of mollusks and other creatures. When these shells decay, thy transform into limestone, which, overtime, disolves and is exposed to water. Carbon is released from the limestone and may return to the atmosphere.
Where are carbon atoms turned in to carbon dioxide?
There are many ways. But it is happening when burning.
What are two ways in which water returns to the oceans from the land?
Precipitation and Evaporation. :D
In what ways do landforms divide the region?
Landforms get separated by sea's oceans, and rivers.
