  1. The carbon cycle is pretty complex and so it will be hard to describe it in only 5 or 6 sentences but I will give it a try.

    The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon is cycled between living things and other parts of the Earth. Starting in the atmosphere, there is lots of carbon in the form of a gas called carbon dioxide. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and break it down to use the carbon for making plant tissues and as part of that process they release oxygen back into the atmosphere so we can breath. That carbon then passes into the soil when the plant dies. The plant may be eaten by an animal and the animal will breath out carbon dioxide into the air again. Or rains may move some of that carbon into the oceans. Also some of the carbon dioxide from the air into the oceans. Also some of the carbon dioxide in the air will dissolve into the ocean waters.  In the oceans, plants use carbon to make tissues and animals use carbon to make their shells. Shells can become rock and later weather and dissolve back into the ocean. Ocean animals breath out carbon dioxide too.

    I think that is more than six sentences. Sorry. I told you it is pretty complicated.
