Question

Which of the following is an example of carbon being moved from the biosphere to the lithosphere?

Fossil fuels are burned by factories to release energy.
Carbonate ions dissolved in oceans become incorporated into seashells by aquatic animals.
Organic materials fall to the ocean bottom and become incorporated into sediment. Animals preform respiration and exhale carbon dioxide into the air.

Answer 1

Organic materials fall to the ocean bottom and become incorporated into sediment.

Step-by-step explanation:

To move from the biosphere to the lithosphere, carbon that is part of a living thing must become incorporated into a form of rock. An example of this is when organic materials such as seashells fall to the bottom of the ocean and become incorporated into the sediment that accumulates there.

Answer 2

Organic material ( from the Biosphere ) fall too the ocean bottom and become incorporated into the sediment (aka the lithosphere)
