What process removes carbon dioxide from the ocean?
A evaporation of water from the oceans
B decay of dead marine organisms
C precipitation into the oceans
D formation of shells of marine organisms

When the temperature is low, carbon dioxide is captured by the oceans, and when the temperature is high, it is released by the oceans into the atmosphere. At sea, carbon dioxide feeds phytoplankton.

Most of the carbon dioxide consumed by plant plankton (phytoplankton) returns to the atmosphere when this phytoplankton dies or is consumed, but a portion is deposited in the ocean floor sediments when these small particles sink. This process is called a "biological bomb" because carbon dioxide is transported from the atmosphere to the ocean floor.
