Question

this diagram of the carbon cycle shows the main ways carbon flows into and out of the atmosphere. red arrows pointing up show carbon that is released into the atmosphere. blue arrows pointing down show carbon that is absorbed from the atmosphere. what does this diagram show? select all that apply. how long carbon is stored under earths surface how much carbon is released during the winter ways that carbon is released into the atmosphere ways that carbon is absorbed from the atmosphere

Explanation:

1. The diagram is about the carbon cycle, showing flows (red for release, blue for absorption) into/out of the atmosphere.

• "how long carbon is stored under Earth’s surface": The diagram shows flows (arrows), not storage duration. Eliminate.
• "how much carbon is released during the winter": The diagram has no seasonal info. Eliminate.
• "ways that carbon is released into the atmosphere": Red arrows (burning fossil fuels, respiration, volcanic activity, deforestation, ocean loss) show release methods. Correct.
• "ways that carbon is absorbed from the atmosphere": Blue arrows (photosynthesis, ocean uptake) show absorption methods. Correct.

Answer:

• ways that carbon is released into the atmosphere
• ways that carbon is absorbed from the atmosphere
