What two sources take CO2 out of the atmosphere?
The ocean removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle. This carbon recycles round and returns to the atmosphere again.Trees, forests and all growing vegetation remove CO2 from the atmosphere, release the oxygen, and store the carbon. If it is a long living tree, it can store that carbon for hundreds of years.
What is carbon pool?
A carbon pool is a reservoir with the capacity to store and release carbon, such as soil, terrestrial vegetation, the ocean, and the atmosphere.
How would the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere change if their is no plants?
There would be significantly more CO2 in the atmosphere because plants take in CO2 during photosynthesis and fix the carbon into glucose.
How is carbon dioxide fixed in the atmosphere?
It is not fixed in the atmosphere. It moves as part of the carbon cycle in and out of the oceans, the atmosphere and the land.
How does carbon move from plants and animals into the atmosphere?
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What is the natural reservoirs that absorb and store more carbon from the atmosphere?
Carbon Sink

Does the atmosphere store more carbon dioxide than the ocean?
No it does not
Through the process of photosynthesis plants?
absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store this carbon as sugar.
What is the greatest store of planetary carbon in the atmosphere?
tropical rain forests

A carbon pool is a reservoir with the capacity to store and release carbon, such as soil, terrestrial vegetation, the ocean, and the atmosphere.
Does clearing a forest increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Yes because trees and plants absorb carbon dioxide and store the carbon.
How would the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere change if their is no plants?
There would be significantly more CO2 in the atmosphere because plants take in CO2 during photosynthesis and fix the carbon into glucose.
Which process reverses the greenhouse gas effect in the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis, where plants absorb carbon dioxide, store the carbon and release the oxygen.
What is a carbon store?
either a long-term or a short term store, it's a place where carbon is accumalated and stored. Examples of long term stores is the atmosphere and short-term could be living organisms.
How is carbon extracted from atmosphere?
Carbon is removed from the atmosphere in some ways. For example, plants and trees eliminate carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Carbon will be released into the atmosphere when an organism dies.
What the from of carbon in the atmosphere?
Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide, (CO2) gas.
