Carbon Cycle - The natural process by which carbon is exchanged between the atmosphere, oceans, and living organisms, regulating Earth's temperature., Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) - A greenhouse gas that traps infrared radiation, warming Earth’s atmosphere and maintaining a livable temperature., Greenhouse Gas - Gases, such as CO₂, that trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming., Photosynthesis - The process by which plants and photosynthetic organisms, like plankton, use sunlight to convert CO₂ into biological compounds, removing it from the atmosphere., Respiration - The process by which organisms release CO₂ back into the atmosphere by breaking down carbohydrates for energy., Decomposition - The breakdown of dead organic matter by microbes, releasing stored carbon into the atmosphere as CO₂., Fossil Fuels - Energy sources like coal, oil, and gas, formed from decomposed organisms over millions of years, which release stored carbon when burned., Volcanic Eruptions - Natural events that release large amounts of CO₂ from deep within Earth’s crust into the atmosphere., Deforestation - The large-scale cutting down and burning of forests, reducing the amount of CO₂ removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis., Ocean Absorption - The process by which the ocean absorbs CO₂ from the atmosphere through diffusion, helping regulate atmospheric CO₂ levels., Ocean Acidification - The increase in ocean acidity due to higher CO₂ levels, which can negatively impact photosynthetic plankton and marine ecosystems., Hydrocarbons - Organic compounds consisting of carbon and hydrogen, formed from partially decomposed organisms and stored as fossil fuels., Sedimentary Rocks - Rocks formed from accumulated biological carbon over long periods, which can trap and store carbon., Diffusion - The movement of CO₂ between the atmosphere and ocean surfaces, driven by differences in concentration., Cooling Water - The process by which CO₂ absorption in the oceans is increased by lower temperatures and wave action., Global Warming - The increase in Earth's temperature due to rising levels of greenhouse gases, including CO₂, resulting from human activities like burning fossil fuels., Food Web - The interconnected network of organisms that transfer energy and carbon through processes such as respiration and consumption., Temperature Regulation - The role of CO₂ in maintaining Earth’s climate and temperature balance through its presence in the atmosphere and interactions with natural processes.,
