The carbon cycle was first described by Antoine Lavoisier and Joseph Priestley, and popularised by Humphry Davy. [5] The global carbon cycle is now usually divided into the following major reservoirs of carbon (also called carbon pools) interconnected by pathways of exchange: [6] Atmosphere; Terrestrial biosphere
Carbon-based photosynthesis life caused a rise in oxygen on Earth. This increase of oxygen helped plate tectonics form the first continents. [10] It is frequently assumed in astrobiology that if life exists elsewhere in the Universe, it will also be carbon-based. [11] [12] Critics, like Carl Sagan in 1973, refer to this assumption as carbon ...

The form carbon takes depends on its oxidation state, which depends on the oxygen fugacity of the environment. Carbon dioxide and carbonate are found where the oxygen fugacity is high. Lower oxygen fugacity results in diamond formation, first in eclogite, then peridotite, and lastly in fluid water mixtures. At even lower oxygen fugacity ...
