What are the process of storing a large amount of carbon from the atmosphere?
A
sources
B
acidification
C
sequestration
D
reservoir
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Soil carbon sequestration is a process in which CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and stored in the soil carbon pool. This process is primarily mediated by plants through photosynthesis, with carbon stored in the form of SOC.

Detailed explanation-2: -Geologic carbon sequestration is the process of storing carbon dioxide (CO2) in underground geologic formations. The CO2 is usually pressurized until it becomes a liquid, and then it is injected into porous rock formations in geologic basins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) CCS involves capturing carbon dioxide that’s been produced by power generation or industrial activity, such as cement or steel-making. This CO2 is then compressed and transported to deep underground facilities, where it’s injected into rock formations for permanent storage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon sequestration (or carbon storage) is the process of storing carbon (in particular atmospheric carbon dioxide) in a carbon pool. The process acts like a carbon sink, meaning it removes a greenhouse gas, or a precursor of a greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.
