The carbon cycle is the process in which carbon atoms continually travel from the atmosphere to the Earth and then back into the atmosphere. Since our Earth and its atmosphere shape a closed environment, the amount of carbon in this earth’s environment does not change. Where the carbon is located — in the atmosphere or on Earth — is constantly in flux. Foundation of all life on Earth comes from Carbon, it is required to form complex molecules like proteins and DNA. It is also found in our Earth’s atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2). It helps to regulate the Earth’s temperature, makes all life possible to live, is a key ingredient in the food that assist us, and provides a major source of the energy to power our global economy.
