Personal Narrative: My Roles In The Hydrosphere

In the hydrosphere, all dissolved down in the groundwater, was me; a carbon molecule. For hundreds of years, I have been there, mixed with the water below, until I precipitated out. I ended up at Havasu Falls in travertine. Usually, travertine consists of deposited minerals from mineral springs, and my journey has taken me to combine with other carbon molecules joined in a form of limestone. I have been soon on my way into a new destination to the limestone lithosphere. In the lithosphere, was the Kaibab limestone, which was where I transferred next. I have been there for millions of years since. As time passed along, I exposed myself to water on the surface. I then got dissolved right back to where I started and became a part of dissolved water molecule. Then I was on the path to the hydrosphere again.

I got dissolved as a carbon ion in Lake Powell. For 3 years, I stayed in that form. Next, I ended up being slurped up by a deer and gassed in the digestive tract. I became CO2 shortly after. I was now on my way into the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, I was in the form of a carbon dioxide compound. I was there for approximately 19 years. I then absorbed by a plant when I encountered it. Once photosynthesis affected me, I turned into CO2 again. I was now on my way to the plant biosphere. In the plant biosphere, I was a carbon in the form of sugars given off by Ponderosa Pine Tree roots. I was only there for about six hours. Then I ended up getting absorbed by a bacteria in the soil. I was a carbon molecule mixed into soil, shortly after. My new destination is in the soil biosphere. Now, in the biosphere of soil, I was in the form of dead plants. I was there for millions of years, buried beneath. I got buried deeper and deeper, under intense pressure. Soon, I turned into coal from the affective, underground forces. I was on my way to the fossil fuel
