Searchlight BOOKS Investigating the Carbon Cycle Mary Lindeen
Chapter 1 CARBON IS EVERYWHERE What do you have in common with a leaf a cow and a rock You are all made from carbon None of you would exist without the carbon cycle This bird and tree branch both contain carbon What else contains carbon
The Carbon Cycle Carbon is everywhere It is in the air It is in the ocean It is in plants and animals It is in soil and rocks Carbon moves between air water plants animals the ground and machines This movement is called the carbon cycle Most of Earth's carbon is in rocks and oceans But carbon is also in plants soil and the atmosphere
