Question

1. list the processes that release carbon into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Respiration is when organisms break down glucose to release energy, producing carbon dioxide. Combustion of fossil fuels (like coal, oil, gas) burns them, releasing carbon stored in them as carbon dioxide. Decomposition of dead organisms by decomposers breaks down organic matter, releasing carbon. Volcanic eruptions release carbon dioxide from the Earth's interior.

Answer:

Respiration, combustion of fossil fuels, decomposition of dead organisms, volcanic eruptions.
