carbon movement sink description
plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and sunlight to make organic compounds and oxygen.
long stored carbon from fossilized organic matter moves to the atmosphere.
organic compounds that contain carbon are broken down by tiny organisms and release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere or into the soil.
carbon dioxide is stored as a gas by dissolving into ocean waters. the warmer the water, the less carbon dioxide can dissolve.
living organisms, like humans and livestock, release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere through breathing.
it is stored in carbonate forms as seafloor sediment or as organic fragments in sedimentary rock.
describing the carbon cycle digital station

Explanation:

Step1: Match photosynthesis to movement

Carbon Movement: photosynthesis
Sink Description: Plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and sunlight to make organic compounds and oxygen.

Step2: Match decomposition to movement

Carbon Movement: decomposition
Sink Description: Organic compounds that contain carbon are broken down by tiny organisms and release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere or into the soil.

Step3: Match respiration to movement

Carbon Movement: respiration
Sink Description: Living organisms, like humans and livestock, release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere through breathing.

Step4: Match burning fossil fuels to movement

Carbon Movement: burning fossil fuels
Sink Description: Long stored carbon from fossilized organic matter moves to the atmosphere.

Step5: Match dissolving to movement

Carbon Movement: dissolving
Sink Description: Carbon dioxide is stored as a gas by dissolving into ocean waters. The warmer the water, the less carbon dioxide can dissolve.

Step6: Match sediment to movement

Carbon Movement: sediment
Sink Description: It is stored in carbonate forms as seafloor sediment or as organic fragments in sedimentary rock.

Answer:

Carbon Movement	Sink Description
decomposition	Organic compounds that contain carbon are broken down by tiny organisms and release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere or into the soil.
respiration	Living organisms, like humans and livestock, release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere through breathing.
burning fossil fuels	Long stored carbon from fossilized organic matter moves to the atmosphere.
dissolving	Carbon dioxide is stored as a gas by dissolving into ocean waters. The warmer the water, the less carbon dioxide can dissolve.
sediment	It is stored in carbonate forms as seafloor sediment or as organic fragments in sedimentary rock.
