Explain the role the ocean plays in the carbon cycle (think about the physical and biological processes that occur in the ocean)

Answer 1

The ocean plays a critical role in carbon storage, as it holds about 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere. Two-way carbon exchange can occur quickly between the ocean's surface waters and the atmosphere, but carbon may be stored for centuries at the deepest ocean depths.
