This carbon is combined with other elements in intricate ways to form organic molecules significant to life.The carbon is later passed to animals who consume plants. When plants and animals die, the majority of their carbon is given back to the atmosphere as the organisms begin to decompose. Occasionally, there will be a plant or animal does not decompose immediately. Their bodies are confined in locations where decomposition cannot occur. This typically happens at the bottom of seas and oceans where the lifeforms become buried by
