Hi frnds, how r u all? Define carbon sink according to the 9th standard chapter- Composition and Structure of the Earth plz give answr...

Answer:
A carbon sink is any reservoir, natural or otherwise, that absorbs more carbon than it releases, and thereby lowers the concentration of CO 2 from the atmosphere. Globally, the two most important carbon sinks are vegetation and the ocean. Public awareness of the significance of CO2 sinks has grown since passage of the Kyoto Protocol, which promotes their use as a form of carbon offset. There are also different strategies used to enhance this process.Increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide means increase in global temperature. The amount of carbon dioxide varies naturally in a dynamic equilibrium with photosynthesis of land plants. The natural sinks are:
Soil is the Earth's greatest carbon store and active carbon sink.
Photosynthesis by terrestrial plants with grass and trees serving as carbon sinks during growing seasons.
Absorption of carbon dioxide by the oceans via physicochemical and minor biological processes
While the creation of artificial sinks has been discussed, no major artificial systems remove carbon from the atmosphere on a material scale.
