What is the carbon cycle? Read the text to find out and do the tasks below to check yourself.

javascript:;The Carbon Cycle

All living things are made of carbon. Carbon is also a part of the ocean, air, and even rocks. Carbon is the fourth most widespread element in the Universe.  Because the Earth is a dynamic place, carbon does not stay still. It is on the move!

In the atmosphere, carbon is attached to some oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide.

Plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to make their own food and grow. The carbon becomes part of the plant. Plants that die and are buried may turn into fossil fuels made of carbon like coal and oil over millions of years. When humans burn fossil fuels, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and traps heat in the atmosphere. Without it and other greenhouse gases, Earth would be a frozen world. But humans have burned so much fuel that there is about 30% more carbon dioxide in the air today than there was about 150 years ago, and Earth is becoming a warmer place.

Which of these statements are true?

a)    Many living things are made of carbon.

b)    The ocean, air, and even rocks have carbon.

c)    Carbon dioxide is a mixture of oxygen and carbon.

d)    The amount of carbon cannot change   on the Earth.

e)    Burning of fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

f)     Heat in the atmosphere is not trapped by a greenhouse gas.

g)    Because of human interference Earth is becoming a warmer place.

 2. Sort out these words:

died plants/organisms, burning coal/oil/natural gas, trap heat, coal/oil, sunlight, oxygen, greenhouse gas, carbon

Carbon dioxide	Plant food	Fossil fuels

II. Проверка умений по работе с графической информацией.

Study the diagram and do the tasks below.

1.    Complete an extract from a report based on the diagram:

 Carbon flows between each reservoir in an exchange called the __(a)__ cycle, which has slow and fast components. Any _(b)____in the cycle that shifts carbon out of one reservoir puts more carbon in the other reservoirs. Changes that put carbon gases into the atmosphere result in _(c)____ temperatures on Earth.

2. Use the diagram to complete the table:

Respiration/emission	Fossils/fossil fuels

III. Проверка общелогических умений.

Use the diagram and your knowledge of how ecosystems work to solve the

problem below.

How does the level of carbon dioxide concentrations during winters in the Northern Hemisphere change? Tick the correct box.

Level of carbon dioxide	increase	decrease	stay the same
winter

2. What will probably happen if there is no summer on the Earth? Explain your answer.

3 Which statement best explains why carbon dioxide is important? Underline

the correct answer.

A. It uses sunlight to make plant food.

B. It gives off oxygen for animals and humans to breathe.

C. It is a part of all living things.

D. It is important only for producing fossils.

Ключи:

I.

1: b, c, e, g

2:

Carbon dioxide	Plant food	Fossil fuels
Burning coal/oil/natural gas, trap heat, greenhouse gas	Sunlight, oxygen, carbon	Died plants/organisms, oil/coal

II.

1: (a) carbon, (b) change, (c) warmer

2:

Respiration/emission	Fossils/fossil fuels
Animal, plant, root, auto/factory	Dead organisms (animals/plants), waste products

III.

1:

Level of carbon dioxide	increase	decrease	stay the same
winter	V

2 Suggested answer: during winter plants will not be able to grow and produce oxygen, so people and animals will die without it.

3: C
