Word equation to desccribe the decomposition of copper carbonate on heating?

It decomposes to carbon dioxide (gas) and copper oxide (black powder) or even to metallic copper when heated up to higher temperatures (in that case also oxygen is released). You see why chemists rather put it in a reaction equation, so it can also be 'balanced': This would then take only one (=1!!) line of symbols and numbers. CuCO3 ==> CO2 + CuO and at higher temperauture: 2CuO ==> 2Cu + O2
