However/Therefore

• Human factors greatly affect CO2 inputs and outputs
• Human factors such as deforestation and combustion can affect the carbon cycle.
• The amount of CO2 released by humans has increased significantly over time due to population growth, industrialization, and technological advancements.
• Natural/Physical factors: Wildfires and volcanic eruptions can also affect the carbon cycle
• Slow carbon cycle consists of: Longer storage in the lithosphere in which CO2 is stored for extremely long periods of time (150 million years)
• Fast Carbon cycle: storage is much shorter than the slow carbon cycle
