Photosynthesis

Output: Respiration as  the CO2 absorbed during photosynthesis is returned to the atmosphere, during  respiration; carbon is given off .

Acid rain, as formation of carbonic acid, is output of carbon. This is because,the  carbonic acids is swept into the oceans together with silicon elements in rocks, and deposited in marine carbonates sediments adding to the carbon contents.

In addition the carbonic acid formation as circulation ocean ocean surface water, absorbs more atmospheric CO2 as it cools near the poles.Thus adding to the Carbon contents.

Inputs.

Decomposition of life forms ,where Carbon in plants and animals are converted to CO2 (by bacterial and fungi)in presence of  oxygen  and in absence to methane.

Input :Combustion oxidizes carbon stored  as organic matter  when subjected to heat to produce CO2.

CO2, in dissolve form  is input into the atmosphere from the surface of the ocean water,

Acid rain
