Question

"Human activities emit over 8 gigatons of carbon each year, but this is far more than actually accumulates in the atmosphere. Where does the rest of the carbon go?"

Answer 1

Answer:

Rest of the carbon is absorbed by the natural carbon sinks

Explanation:

Out of the total amount of carbon dioxide released in atmosphere, nearly 50% of that is absorbed by the natural carbon sinks. These natural carbon sinks include oceans, soil and plant.  Carbon released in the form of carbon dioxide is used by plants for photosynthesis and some of the carbon dioxide get dissolved in the water of ocean. Carbon in the form of element is stored in soil.
