<span>Science knowledge relies on experimental and observational confirmation. Where data is incomplete, new or improved data may well lead to revision of accepted science explanations. In situations where observations are fragmentary, it is normal for scientific ideas to be incomplete, but this is also where the opportunity for making advances may be the greatest.The core ideas of science have been subjected to a wide variety of confirmations and are therefore unlikely to change in the areas in which they have been tested. </span><span>Science knowledge may change due to the development of new techniques for observing investigations (including new technologies), and also through new ways of thinking or framing the questions asked.</span>

Where is carbon located on our planet, and how are these carbon reservoirs different from each other?

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: Most carbon is stored in rocks and sediments, while the rest is stored in the ocean, atmosphere, and living organisms. These are the reservoirs, or sinks, through which carbon cycles. The ocean is a giant carbon sink that absorbs carbon.
