Carbon dioxide moves from the hydrosphere to the geosphere primarily through processes like sedimentation and mineralization. When CO2 dissolves in ocean water, it can react with minerals and form carbonates, which eventually settle to the ocean floor. Over geological time, these carbonates can become part of sedimentary rock formations, effectively sequestering carbon in the geosphere. Additionally, volcanic activity can release stored carbon back into the atmosphere, completing the cycle.

Why is a carbon dioxide cycle called a cycle?

it is called cycle because when we exhale we gives off carbon dioxide, and it is absorb by plants, then after the process called photosynthesis it gives off oxygen to the atmosphere, then now we inhale it and after we inhale we exhale the carbon dioxide and goes to the atmosphere then absorb by plants, gives off oxygen, goes to the atmosphere, then inhale it and so on and so forth . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . for shorth will go back and go back. not like the one way flow of energy that will remain.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


Does the hydrogen on methane go when it becomes carbon dioxide?

Methane burns in oxygen and gets oxidised. Carbon is oxidised to carbon dioxide, hydrogen to water.


Do plants make carbon dioxide?

No, plants use carbon dioxide to go through the process of photosynthesis to make oxygen.


Will a burning spilint go out in carbon dioxide gas?

Yes, a burning splint will go out in carbon dioxide gas because carbon dioxide does not support combustion. When the concentration of oxygen is low, the splint will not have enough oxygen to sustain combustion and will be extinguished.


How does carbon dioxide go back to the atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide goes back to the atmosphere through respiration, the decomposition of plants and animals, and combustion.


Is carbon dioxide a macro molecule?

No, carbon dioxide is not a macromolecule. Macromolecules are large molecules made up of smaller subunits linked together, while carbon dioxide is a small molecule composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.


Where does the carbon in CO2 go Doesn't gravity and rain clean the CO2 from the atmosphere?

No. Carbon dioxide is thoroughly mixed into the atmosphere and cannot separate from the air simply though gravity. Some carbon dioxide does go into water to become locked away in carbonate minerals, but the primary way of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is through photosynthesis, a process by which plants and algae convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen. Currently we are producing more carbon dioxide than the plants can absorb, resulting in an increase in the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.


Which gas do animals remove from the air?

The gas that is taken in by animals is oxygen. Animals absorb oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen.
