In science lately, we talked and learned about the climate change around us. We talked about the carbon cycle and how it will affect our environment. Here are some questions that I had to answer about carbon.

Carbon FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions)
1. What is carbon?
Carbon is an element. With the help from oxygen, carbon and oxygen joint together and formed carbon dioxide. It’s a gas, and it’s odorless and colorless. Carbon has the ability to bond with other elements. Carbon could attach with Hydrogen or oxygen or both. Carbon can make up any elements by attaching to other bonds or atoms.
2. What is carbon dioxide?
Carbon Dioxide is made out of one carbon attached to two oxygen atoms. Carbon dioxide is non- flammable and odorless.
3. Where is carbon found?
Carbon could be found anywhere. They’re everywhere.
4. How do plants get carbon?
Carbon moves from the air to plants. Food is made of carbon and it helps the plants to grow (photosynthesis process).
5. How do animals get carbon?
Some animals eat plants and the plants have carbons in them. However, for some animals that don’t eat plants, could eat other animals that ate the carbons from other places.
6. What activities release carbon
into the air?
For plants, probably the respiration, where the plants releases the carbon to the atmosphere. On the other side, it could be when the fossil fuels burned; it releases the carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere as well.
7. Where is carbon stored?
Carbons were stored in the deep ocean or under the surface or the atmosphere of the Earth.
8. How do fossil fuels form?
Fossil fuels were created from dead plants or dead animals and even though they were dead, the bonds are still active. The dead bodies were buried under the surface of the earth or the sea. Now, when these bones are burn, they become a fuel.
