Question

Describe how chemical weathering and the formation of biochemical sediment remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the geosphere?

Answer 1

Biochemical sediment like black shale (carbonaceous shale) and lignite and coal will form from the weathering ie reduction and decomposition of plant organic matter and thus store it in the geosphere, Also, carbon is naturally sequestered in the formation of carbonate rocks like limestone by combination of the carbon dioxide in the oceans (which may be in the form of carbonic acid) with metals to form calcium and magnesium carbonate compounds.
