Carbon Cycle

Carbon cycle is simple:
1) Carbon is already in oceans and sedimentary rocks
2) While carbon is in water, it forms into calcium carbonate
3) Corals and algae build up limestone reefs causing further respiration
4) On land plants convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates
5) Then carbon is libertaed into atomosphere when plants die or are eaten
