đ Carbon Catastrophe Beneath Our Feet! đ
This explosive diagram reveals Earthâs deep carbon cycle in action â from surface COâ (~400 ppm) down to crushing pressures of 3,000+ MPa and depths near 100 km!
đ„ Subducting slabs drag carbon-rich rocks deep into the mantle.
đ At extreme pressure & temperature, carbon transforms â forming carbonates, diamonds, and melts.
⥠Rising magma releases COâ back to the surface through volcanic eruptions.
Itâs a high-pressure recycling machine powered by tectonics â locking, transforming, and blasting carbon back into the atmosphere over millions of years.
Earth doesnât just store carbon⊠it weaponizes it. đđ„
