Detailed explanation-1: -Most carbon is stored in rocks and sediments, while the rest is stored in the ocean, atmosphere, and living organisms. These are the reservoirs, or sinks, through which carbon cycles. The ocean is a giant carbon sink that absorbs carbon.
Detailed explanation-2: -The geological carbon cycle Carbon may be stored for long periods of time in the atmosphere, bodies of liquid water-mostly oceans-ocean sediment, soil, rocks, fossil fuels, and Earth’s interior.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon is in a constant state of movement from place to place. It is stored in what are known as reservoirs, and it moves between these reservoirs through a variety of processes, including photosynthesis, burning fossil fuels, and simply releasing breath from the lungs.
