Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ocean is the largest carbon sink on the planet and stores more than 50 times the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. This is due to the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by the ocean's surface and subsequent transport to the deep ocean through various physical and biological processes. While there are significant carbon stores on land in the form of vegetation and soil, the ocean is the most significant carbon sink on Earth.
