The Carbon Cycle

By Holli RiebeekDesign by Robert SimmonJune 16, 2011

Carbon is the backbone of life on Earth. We are made of carbon, we eat carbon,
and our civilizationsour economies, our homes, our means of transportare
built on carbon. We need carbon, but that need is also entwined with one of the
most serious problems facing us today: global climate change.
Forged in the heart of aging stars, carbon is the fourth most abundant element in
the Universe. Most of Earths carbonabout 65,500 billion metric tonsis stored
in rocks. The rest is in the ocean, atmosphere, plants, soil, and fossil fuels.
Carbon flows between each reservoir in an exchange called the carbon cycle, which has slow and fast components. Any
change in the cycle that shifts carbon out of one reservoir puts more carbon in the other reservoirs. Changes that put carbon
gases into the atmosphere result in warmer temperatures on Earth.
Over the long term, the carbon cycle seems to maintain a balance that prevents all of Earths carbon from entering the
atmosphere (as is the case on Venus) or from being stored entirely in rocks. This balance helps keep Earths temperature
relatively stable, like a thermostat.
This thermostat works over a few hundred thousand years, as part of the slow carbon cycle. This means that for shorter
time periodstens to a hundred thousand yearsthe temperature of Earth can vary. And, in fact, Earth swings between
ice ages and warmer interglacial periods on these time scales. Parts of the carbon cycle may even amplify these short-term
temperature changes.
On very long time scales (millions to tens of millions of years), the movement of tectonic plates and changes in the rate at
which carbon seeps from the Earths interior may change the temperature on the thermostat. Earth has undergone such a
change over the last 50 million years, from the extremely warm climates of the Cretaceous (roughly 145 to 65 million years
ago) to the glacial climates of the Pleistocene (roughly 1.8 million to 11,500 years ago.
Instructions: Choose True or False according to the information from the text
1.- Carbon is a very essential and inherent part in life on Earth
2.- Carbon is the third most abundant element in the Universe
3.- Most of Earths carbonabout 65,500 billion metric tonsis stored in ocean
4.- Carbon cycle is an exchange of carbon flows between each reservoir
5..- Changes that put carbon gases into the atmosphere result in cooler temperatures on Earth.
6.- The balance of carbon cycle helps keep Earths temperature unstable
7.- In shorter time periods (around 10,000 to 100,000 years) the temperature of Earth can vary
8.- Parts of the carbon cycle may even amplify these long-term temperature changes
9.- Earth has undergone such a change over the last 500 million years
10.- Climate on Earth has changed from extremely warm to the glacial in las 50 million years
