Question

1) After process 7 “7p,” how is carbon released to the atmosphere?

2) Where is the biological component of the inorganic carbon cycle? (hint: it is part of the marine cycle)

### Marine Inorganic Carbon Cycle **Atmosphere:** - Conversion and interaction of carbon compounds at the atmospheric level are depicted, showing the flow of carbon into the ocean. **Ocean:** - The oceanic section of the cycle shows interactions between carbon compounds with: - Zooplankton and phytoplankton, indicating their role in the carbon cycle. - Chemical equation: \( \text{Ca}^{2+} + c \rightarrow c \) shows the chemical interactions involving calcium ions. - Carbon compounds sink to different depths: - **3p**: Process representing the entry of atmospheric carbon into the oceanic ecosystem. - **4p**: Descent of carbon involving phytoplankton. - **5p**: Sinking of combined carbon and calcium compounds. - **6p**: Further downward carbon movement. - The **7p**: Representing subduction zones where carbon compounds are drawn into deeper parts of the ocean, influencing geological processes. **Other Features:** - A river is shown contributing to the oceanic carbon cycle. - Arrows indicate the direction of carbon flow throughout the cycle. The diagram outlines how carbon moves and undergoes transformations between the atmosphere and ocean, highlighting the roles of biotic factors like zooplankton and abiotic factors like subduction zones in this cycle.
