mini project two







Carbon is located in oceans and sedimentary rocks, mostly in large quantities. When carbon reaches water it precipitates to form calcium carbonate, coral and algae can then build up limestone reefs through this carbon precipitation process. This creates suitable environments for their population and sources of carbon for further respiration. On land and in water, plants convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates through photosynthesis.
