**__ The Carbon Cycle __** ** Carbon can be found all over the world. It is mostly found in biotic elements (living organisms). Plant can make oxygen by using carbon dioxide in photosynthesis they produce sugar (food). People and animals also release carbon dioxide when they exhale. All of the carbon dioxide we exhale plants can benefit from it its gives them food and gives us oxygen. Carbon dioxide can be given of if a plant or animal is decaying or dead. When animals die there are different bacteria that help decompose and break down the dead animal and it gives off carbon. Carbon can also stay in the earth’s crust for millions of years 0.04% of the earth’s carbon stays underground. When carbon is underground it is one of the steps in making fossil in the earth. **

**Carbon dioxide gets trapped in the atmosphere and produces greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide also helps contribute some of the earth’s heat and that may or may not be a good thing. Carbon is a huge part of our life we exhale carbon dioxide and plants use that to produce food and they give off oxygen. Forests and Greenland areas hold about 86% of carbon dioxide. Carbon in the atmosphere can also affect were different species live in a habitat.** media type="youtube" key="U3SZKJVKRxQ" height="368" width="415"
