Carbon is dissolved in the cold ocean waters found at high latitudes. The cold water sinks and moves slowly in trhe deep ocean currents toward the tropics.In the warm tropics, the water rises as it is warmed, mixing with water at intermediate levels and at the surface. Some carbon dioxide is released to the tropical atmosphere as ocean currents carry the warmed water back toward polar areas

What are the differences between organic and inorganic carbon and how do they impact the environment?

Organic carbon is found in living organisms and their byproducts, while inorganic carbon is found in non-living matter like rocks and minerals. Organic carbon is a key component of the carbon cycle, being cycled through living organisms and the environment. Inorganic carbon, on the other hand, is not as readily cycled and can contribute to environmental issues like ocean acidification when released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
