Detailed explanation-1: -With approx 37, 000 billion tonnes of carbon buried in the deep ocean, it is the world’s greatest carbon reserve.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most of Earth’s carbon is stored in rocks and sediments. The rest is located in the ocean, atmosphere, and in living organisms. These are the reservoirs through which carbon cycles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Then students are introduced to the carbon cycle and create a simple model to diagram their understanding of carbon’s movements through Earth’s four major reservoirs: biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon reservoirs are the parts of the Earth that store carbon, such as the ocean. Other examples of carbon reservoirs are the soil, land vegetation and the atmosphere. More so, fossil fuels are large reservoirs.
