Question

The absorption of carbon dioxide from plants can be analyzed via satellite as shown in the image below. In the image below, green represents land areas where carbon dioxide is being absorbed, and blue represents sea areas where carbon dioxide is being absorbed. The darker the color, the more carbon that location absorbs each year.
What can you conclude about the location of the dot?
There is little carbon being released.
The carbon is sinking into long-term storage.
The carbon is causing climate change in this zone.
There is a forest where many trees are absorbing carbon.

Answer 1

It os being absorbed by the sea make it a long term because its a long process

Answer 2

Answer:

The carbon is sinking into long-term storage.

Explanation:

The area of the dot represents hydrosphere or water body of the earth such as the ocean. The ocean is a great absorber of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmospheric air. One fourth which humans create by burning fossils fuels such as coal, petroleum, natural gas. In normal condition, ocean water is slightly alkaline but due to absorption of more CO₂, ocean water becomes more acidic in the long term. The alkalinity of the ocean is very important in maintaining a delicate balance needed for marine animals.
