fossil fuels
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon moves from one storage reservoir to another through a variety of mechanisms. For example, in the food chain, plants move carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -On the short time scale, the carbon cycle is most visible in life. Plants on land and in the ocean convert carbon dioxide to biomass (like leaves and stems) through photosynthesis. The carbon returns to the atmosphere when the plants decay, are eaten and digested by animals, or burn in fires.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Global Carbon Cycle The biogeochemical cycle in which carbon is exchanged between Earth’s terrestrial biosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and atmosphere is called the carbon cycle.
