The greatest store of planetary carbon is the atmosphere?
As much as two-thirds of Earth's carbon may be hidden in the inner core, making it the planet's largest carbon reservoir.Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2014-12-earth-carbon-hidden-planet-core.html
Is the atmosphere a carbon store?
yes the atmosphere is a long term carbon store
What is the natural reservoirs that absorb and store more carbon from the atmosphere?
Carbon Sink
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.
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 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.
What is the greatest difference between carbon release and carbon store each year?
Ask your fat mom
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.
