Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon Cycle-Combustion/Metabolism Reaction: Combustion occurs when any organic material is reacted (burned) in the presence of oxygen to give off the products of carbon dioxide and water and ENERGY. The organic material can be any fossil fuel such as natural gas (methane), oil, or coal.
Detailed explanation-2: -The carbon cycle depicts the natural flow of the element carbon through the atmosphere in different forms. There are six main processes in the carbon cycle: photosynthesis, respiration, exchange, sedimentation, extraction, and combustion.
Detailed explanation-3: -In this activity, students explore the role of combustion in the carbon cycle. They learn that carbon flows among reservoirs on Earth through processes such as respiration, photosynthesis, combustion, and decomposition, and that combustion of fossil fuels is causing an imbalance.
