Respiration - plants and animals breaking down sugars, which releases carbon dioxide., Decomposition of dead organisms - decomposers break down dead plants and animals, Combustion of Organic Matter - burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas oxidizes the carbon present and releases carbon dioxide, Volcanic Eruptions - the release of carbon dioxide during volcanic eruptions, Weathering of carbonate rocks - Breakdown of rocks that releases carbon dioxide., Warm ocean surfaces - The higher the temperature, the less gas that can be held/stored., Photosynthesis - Carbon dioxide is taken into plants and converted to glucose. This happens a great deal in young forests where new tree growth is rapid., Carbonification - the formation of fossil fuels from dead organic matter, Lithification - soil containing organic matter is transported forms layers of sediments. Carbon dioxide is converted into carbonate sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, Cool Ocean Surfaces - carbon dioxide is soluble and forms carbonic acid,
