Generation

The carbon cycle in rocks involves the long-term storage and release of carbon through geological processes. Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere dissolves in rainwater to form carbonic acid (H₂O + CO₂ → H₂CO₃), which weathers rocks and combines with minerals to form carbonate rocks like limestone through the reaction: CaCO₃ + H₂CO₃ → Ca(HCO₃)₂. These carbonates can be deposited in ocean sediments and eventually subducted into Earth's mantle, where heat and pressure release CO₂ back into the atmosphere through volcanic activity. This geological carbon cycle operates over millions of years, making it the slowest component of Earth's overall carbon cycle.
