The Carbon Cycle and the Water Cycle

?
Photosynthesis
Plant make their own food using sunlight and carbon dioxide
1 of 11
Respiration
Organisms break down glucose to release energy for cells
2 of 11
Combustion
Burning of fuels
3 of 11
Decomposition
Micro organisms break down dead organisms and waste
4 of 11

Living things don't decompose fully when they die and they fossilize, coal, oil and gas can form.

Evaporation
When a liquid becomes a gas
6 of 11
Condensation
when a gas becomes a liquid
