How does a carbon sink differ from carbon sequestering?
By sinking down all the way
Will carbon tetrachloride sink in sulfuric acid?
yes it will because carbon tetracholride has more dence than sulfuric acid
If carbon monoxide leaked into your house would you predict that it would float to the top of the room or stay near the floor?
CO2 (Carbon dioxide) is more dense than air and therefore would sink to the floor.
Will arsenic float or sink in pure water?
does Arsenic float or sink
Does plutonium float or sink?
sink
Is decaying vegetation a carbon sink?
Decaying vegetation is actually the opposite of a carbon sink. A carbon sink is something that takes carbon out its natural cycle and stores in for an extended period of time. Vegetation, particularly trees, absorb carbon, and thus they act as stores. However, decaying vegetation releases the carbon back into the air as it decays. Therefore, it is not a sink.
What has been called a carbon sink?
Trees absorb carbon dioxide (when talking about a "carbon sink", it means the carbon as any form).
When a plant respiration it behaves as a?
carbon source
How are heat sink and carbon sink related?
heat sink is when heat is absorbed into any type of environment, including the aquatic ecosystem; and carbon sink is when CO2 is absorbed into any type of environment including the terrestrial ecosystem.
Which item is a carbon sink and not part of the carbon cycle?
Carbon found within limestone rocks.
What is an examples of carbon sink?
The ocean. Limestone.
Soil humus is a natural sink of?
carbon
What is the natural reservoirs that absorb and store more carbon from the atmosphere?
Carbon Sink
When a plant uses carbon dioxide and sunlight to grow it behaves as a?
Carbon Sink
How does a carbon sink differ from carbon sequestering?
By sinking down all the way
How do carbon sinks reduce greenhouse gases?
A carbon sink is a storage for carbon. A tree is a carbon sink because it absorbs carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) from the atmosphere, stores the carbon and releases the oxygen. So forests are major carbon sinks which reduce the levels of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
Why could you that plants are a sink for carbon?
Plants take in carbon from carbon dioxide in the air and convert it to carbohydrates and keep it with them.
