How does burning fossil fuels affect the carbon cycle?

-Carbon dioxide is released in amount greater than what can be used by plants for
photosynthesis or is able to be absorbed by the ocean.

-It speeds up the carbon cycle and allows for more plants to grow.

-Excess carbon dioxide causes the carbon cycle to function improperly and probably cause
global warming.

-When burning fossil fuels additional carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

-It maintains the "health" of the cycle by guaranteeing that carbon is always present.
