Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three largest pools of the carbon cycle are oceans, sedimentary rock, and fossil fuels, with fossil fuels being a subset of sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock is where most carbon is stored long-term, while the ocean is the largest active carbon sink in the short term. Fossil fuels are formed from ancient organic matter that has been buried and transformed into carbon-rich substances over millions of years.
