Carbon Cycle
-
Geological carbon cycle
- Geological processes control the geological carbon cycle through processes such as volcanic outgassing and chemical weathering (carbonic acid)
- Has a slow reservoir turnover rate of at least 100,000 years
- Carbon sequestration is the process in which carbon is captured and stored long term
- Carbon is stored in sedimentary rocks such as limestone
-
Oceanic stores
-
-
- In areas where deep currents meet suface currents, the C02 sources flux is greater
Biological pump
- Driven by organisms that live in the ocean
- Involves processes such as photosynthesis
- Moves carbon down to the sea floor
what is it ?
- A biochemical cycle in which carbon is stored and moved between different stores through fluxes
- If the carbon source is also the sink the cycle is in equilibrium
