Carbon is stored in carbon reservoirs, or sinks, just as water is stored in a reservoir behind a dam. The carbon is released from these reservoirs and ultimately ends up in another reservoir. Identify how carbon is stored and released from the components of the Earth system: *Use A for Atmosphere, B for Biosphere, H for Hydrosphere, and G for Geosphere. Process/Event: Photosynthesis: What loses C (i.e. sink for C)? Decomposition of organic matter on land: Death of animal: Animal/plant waste: Chemical weathering of limestone: Rainfall: Volcanic eruptions: Formation of limestone: Shelled organisms grow exoskeleton: Forest burns: Carbon dioxide dissolves In cold water: CO2 gas exsolves (de-gases) in upwelling currents: Coal forms: What gains C (i.e. source of C)? Oil/natural gas forms: Fossil fuels are burned/used: Deforestation: 37 (p. 1 of 1) Edited from D. Steer, The Good Earth. Also created by K. Sasowsky (Sup. Ex.3, 7, 6a, parts of Sup. Ex.
