A Carbon Sink is a reservoir which absorbs more carbon than it releases. Suggest how carbon in the bodies of crustaceans and molluscs is removed from the oceanic food chain to become part of another, slower carbon reservoir.
Crustaceans and Molluscs play an important role in the oceanic carbon sink.
Explanation:
Carbon sinks can serve to partially offset greenhouse gas emissions. Forests and oceans are both large carbon sinks. Algae is pressurized to bottom of the ocean by long term sequestration. Algae then falls to the bottom of the ocean and TRANSFORMS to fossil fuels.
CO2 is not combustible.
creates carbonic acid in the oceans.
Reduces seawater pH, carbonate ion concentration, and thus calcium carbonate (needed for shells for marine creatures, contributes to BOTTOM-UP EFFECT)
