Answer:
carbon gets released by burning of fossil fuels or gets released from rocks that contain carbon, gets brought into the atmosphere and gets absorbed by clouds, then it rains onto the land or bodies of water and gets returned to the earth by getting eaten by vertabrates or invertabrates or consumed by plants and held in the roots and the wood. the carbon can be returned to the earth by feces of animals, respiration,(its released into the atmosphere) and by floating down to the bottom of a lake or river and back into the sediment. in a few million years of breakdown of dead animals and plants in the ground it will become oil and fossil fuels and then be reused if humans are on the earth still using fossil fuels.(press f to doubt)
