Hi Mr.Wood,It's Fiona from period 2 again. Here some questions from reading your journals.
What is the carbon cycle?
What do you mean by decaying organic material?
Thanks you for your consideration and reading my email!

Hello Fiona,Thanks for the questions. The carbon cycle includes many things. The CO2 the animals give off and plants use as they give off oxygen for the animals to use is one way carbon is moved around. There is also carbon in living things. When those living things die and begin to decay or rot, that carbon can be released in the ground or in to the air. There are other ways carbon is moved around but we will talk about that later.
Cheers,
Mr. Wood
