Most of the radiocarbon found on earth is formed naturally in the upper atmosphere. High-energy cosmic rays (from outside the solar system) are constantly bombarding the upper atmosphere. These high-energy particles undergo a whole cascade of nuclear reactions resulting in some slow moving neutrons.
