Quizlet is a great flashcard site that helps you create your own flashcards, and provides you with some great ready-made flashcards as well.

The atmosphere, the ocean, and the terrestrial biosphere. Carbon can be found in the earths oceanic and continental crust in different types of stones as well as in the soil from the decay of organic matter.
One source of available carbon in the environment happens when an animal breathes out carbon dioxide. So carbon dioxide added to our atmosphere through the process of respiration is a carbon source. Carbon sinks are places where carbon is stored because more carbon dioxide is absorbed than is emitted.arbon is also a very important element on Earth. Carbon is provided by the environment, moves through organisms and then returns to the environment again. When all this happens in balance, the ecosystem remains in balance too. In this section, let's follow the path of a carbon atom over many years and see what happens.
