Answer:

Carbon enters the soil through the decomposition of organic material.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon moves from plants and animals to soils. When plants and animals die, their bodies, wood and leaves decays bringing the carbon into the ground. That’s why when humans burn fossil fuels to power factories, power plants, cars and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas.

Hope this helps! :)
