The major carbon sources (reservoirs that release more carbon than absorbed) are: deforestation and fossil fuels

The major carbon sinks (reservoirs that absorb more carbon than released) are:
soil, oceans and plants.

When scientists calculate the amount of carbon dioxide is returned to the atmosphere vs the released the amount of carbon, a large amount is unaccounted for and the total does not add up. This is why scientists believe there is an undiscovered carbon sink somewhere.

scientific description about the pizza dough doubles its size when it is placed in a warm place . how does this happen
Marina CMI [18]
Answer is: because carbon(IV) oxide is released.
For example if baking soda is used for <span>the pizza dough, than on heat carbon(IV) oxide is product of chemical reaction:
2NaHCO</span>₃ → Na₂CO₃ + CO₂ + H₂O.
If we use yeast (<span>single-celled microorganism)</span>, also carbon(IV) oxide produced, because yeast turns sugars into carbon(IV) oxide.
