Oceanic Carbon Cycle
The Oceanic Carbon Cycle refers to the complex system of processes by which carbon is exchanged between the atmosphere and the Earth's oceans. This cycle involves various mechanisms such as carbon dioxide absorption by surface waters, biological uptake and release of carbon through photosynthesis and respiration by marine organisms, as well as the transport and storage of carbon in deep ocean waters and sediments. The Oceanic Carbon Cycle plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate and maintaining a balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
