Carbon cycle schematic showing the movement of carbon between land, atmosphere, and oceans in billions of tons (gigatons) per year. Yellow numbers are natural fluxes, red are human contributions, and white are stored carbon.
The biological pump (or ocean carbon biological pump or marine biological carbon pump) is the ocean's biologically driven sequestration of carbon from the atmosphere and land runoff to the ocean interior and seafloor sediments. [1]
Español: Este esquema del ciclo del carbono muestra el almacenamiento y los cambios anuales del s entre la atmósfera, la hidrósfera y la geósfera en gigatones, o miles de millones de toneladas, de carbono (GtC). La quema de combustibles fósiles libera cerca de 5.5 mil millones de toneladas de carbono al año en la atmósfera.
The Lewis structure of a carbon atom, showing its four valence electrons. Carbon is a primary component of all known life on Earth, and represents approximately 45–50% of all dry biomass. [1]
A biogeochemical cycle, or more generally a cycle of matter, [1] is the movement and transformation of chemical elements and compounds between living organisms, the atmosphere, and the Earth's crust.
Geologic and biologic carbon sequestration of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere emitted by human activities. [1]Carbon sequestration is the process of storing carbon in a carbon pool.
This figure describes the geological aspects and processes of the carbonate silicate cycle, within the long-term carbon cycle. The carbonate–silicate geochemical cycle, also known as the inorganic carbon cycle, describes the long-term transformation of silicate rocks to carbonate rocks by weathering and sedimentation, and the transformation of carbonate rocks back into silicate rocks by ...
Geostationary Carbon Cycle Observatory (GeoCarb) [1] was an intended NASA Venture-class Earth observation mission that was designed to measure the carbon cycle.. GeoCarb was to be stationed over the Americas and make observations between 50° North and South latitudes.
