The cyclic illustration shows a repetitive process of how carbon is made and transformed into different froms. The process starts with fossils that are tapped underground for millions of years.
firstly, different minerals and fossils are extracted and are used as a fuel, more precisely when fuel burns a combustion reaction takes place which releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and other forms of gases that are considered toxic. Plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, while different animals such a rabbit, when they graze the respire hence releasing carbon dioxide back into the environment. During this cycle when a plant or animal dies, it is decomposed and eventually turned into fossil. Although plants found on ocean bed also undergo photosysthesis, besides that due to sedimentation different rocks and minerals deposit on rock bed for example, calcium carbonate CaCo3. also known as lime stone and shells.
The overall process in inter-linked and follows a continous pattern, which when disturbed causes significant impacts on the environment and the process overall.
