    The diagram represents the carbon cycle, which shows how carbon is recycled through different reservoirs including the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. Carbon moves from the atmosphere to plants through photosynthesis, from dead plants and animals into the soil, and from the burning of fossil fuels back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. The cycle also depicts how carbon can be incorporated into fossil fuels over millions of years from the remains of living things and later released back into the air through the use of fossil fuels.

    The carbon cycle - diagram description

    In the environment carbon is used repeatedly, and this process is called "Carbon cycle". The diagram represents this cycle. Carbon can be found in most of things, since a simple sand grain until a complex animal life, and the diagrams shows this process cycle, from soil to air. Describing counterclockwise the diagram is possible to see in the upper right corner the conversion of carbon from fossil fuels to carbon dioxide (CO2) into air, represented by a factory and a car. In the middle of image the flow of carbon from life organisms to carbon dioxide in air is well represented. Then, in the upper left corner an arrow indicates the return of this carbon to soil and subsequently transformation of CO2 in the photosynthesis process. The lower part of this illustration shows the flow of carbon from decaying remains of animals and plants to a possible transformation in fossil fuel, what take millions of years to be possible, representing that the final link in this diagram. This concludes the summary of this graphic representation of the carbon cycle.
