When carbon enters the deep ocean, it can remain there for hundreds to thousands of years. This long residence time is due to the ocean's layered structure, where deep waters are less accessible to mixing with surface waters. The carbon is part of the ocean's carbon cycle, contributing to the long-term storage of carbon in the deep sea. Ultimately, processes such as upwelling and ocean circulation can eventually return this carbon to the surface, but this can take a significant amount of time.

How does plankon function?

Plankton takes in carbon dioxide from the sea and stores it in its body. When plankton dies, it still has the carbon dioxide inside it, so has removed some of the problem from the ocean (problem for us). Without plankton, there'd be a lot more carbon dioxide and global warming would be worse.
