Answer:

oceans

Explanation:

  • As oceans are regarded as the global carbon reservoirs they tend to have 38,000 Gigatonnes of carbon which when evaporated could instantly release 16 times the carbon that on the terrestrial biosphere that is all plants and animal and about 60 times as that of the pre-industrial atmosphere.

Answer:

soil

Explanation:

The biggest natural carbon storage, or carbon sink, is the soil. The other two major natural carbon sinks are the ocean waters and the living organisms (mainly the plants). The storage of carbon is basically a process through which the carbon is trapped and removed from the atmosphere on a longer period of time, thus it is not active in the carbon cycle temporarily. The storage of carbon happens through biological, chemical, and physical process, and the soil gets and traps the carbon through all of them. A problem occurs in the past couple of centuries because there is more and more soil that has been damaged or destroyed, thus lot of carbon has been released into the atmosphere, and the soil has lesser capacity for taking in new carbon in it.

What do v shaped contour lines indicate when they point downhill and when they point uphill
rjkz [21]

V shaped contour line pointing downhill indicate a ridge line, while the ones pointing uphill indicate a water flow.

Explanation:

The contour lines are one of the basic and most important elements on the maps. While in general they are associated with representing the elevation, they actually tell much more about the topography of a place. In a typical contour line, it is relatively common that the V shape occurs at particular places.

The V shape can be pointed downhill or uphill. The ones that point downhill are indicators of a ridge line, thus they show us the ridge more easily, so we can orientate better and have better representation of the area. The ones that point uphill, on the other hand, are indicators that there is a water flow, or there was a water flow. The rivers and streams with their erosive power manage to create such shapes in the relief, if viewed from above. The opening on the V is from where the water flows down.

Some of the types of contour lines are:

  • isopleths
  • isohyets
  • isobars
  • isobaths
  • isoterms
  • isonephs
