Answer:

B. decay of dead marine organisms

Explanation:

When the temperature is low, carbon dioxide is captured by the oceans, and when the temperature is high, it is released by the oceans into the atmosphere. At sea, carbon dioxide feeds phytoplankton.

Most of the carbon dioxide consumed by plant plankton (phytoplankton) returns to the atmosphere when this phytoplankton dies or is consumed, but a portion is deposited in the ocean floor sediments when these small particles sink. This process is called a "biological bomb" because carbon dioxide is transported from the atmosphere to the ocean floor.

T<br> What type of bond is formed between the two nitrogen atoms in diatomic nitrogen, N2?

romanna [79]

Nitrogen is a diatomic molecule in the VA family on the periodic table. Nitrogen has five valence electrons, so it needs three more valence electrons to complete its octet. A nitrogen atom can fill its octet by sharing three electrons with another nitrogen atom, forming three covalent bonds, a so-called triple bond.
