Question

List 5 reservoirs of Carbon.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Living things in the ocean move carbon from the atmosphere into surface waters then down into the deeper ocean and eventually into rocks. This action of organisms moving carbon in one direction is often called a biological pump.

Carbon gets incorporated into marine organisms as organic

Molecules that contain carbon and that have a biological origin.

2.Through the process of photosynthesis carbon dioxide oxide is pulled from the air to produce food made from carbon for plant growth. Carbon moves from plant to animals. Through food chain , the carbon that is in plant moves to the animal that eat them. Animals that eat other animals get the carbon from their food too.

3.soil naturally absorbs carbon from the atmosphere through the process known as sequestration which not only reduce harmful gases but also creates more fertile soil.

4.Soils play a key role in the carbon cycle by soaking up carbon from dead plant matter. Plants absorb CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, and pass carbon to the ground when dead roots and leaves decompose.
