Carbon Cycle Web Quest

The document summarizes a carbon cycle web quest that asks the reader to review diagrams and information about the carbon cycle. It involves 12 multiple choice or short answer questions about how carbon exists in different parts of the Earth system like the atmosphere, oceans, biomass and fossil fuels. It also asks the reader to consider how temperature is regulated by carbon and to identify structural combinations that affect the carbon cycle.

Carbon Cycle Web Quest

Background: In biogeochemical cycles (including carbon, water and nitrogen cycles),


elements are transported between the atmosphere, biosphere (living things), hydrosphere
(water), and geosphere (rocks, minerals, and soils). These cycles help us remember that
Earth is a complex system.
