Question

The combination of fossil fuel use and deforestation has emitted approximately 480 gigatons of carbon over the last century, but the amount of carbon in the atmosphere has only increased by approximately 190 gigatons. About 110 gigatons of this missing carbon went into which reservoir of the carbon cycle?.

Answer 1

About 110 gigatons of this missing carbon went into water reservoir of the carbon cycle.

What is carbon cycle?

The biogeochemical cycle in which carbon is exchanged between the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth is known as the carbon cycle.

According to the question, emitted amount of carbon is 480 gigatons but the amount of carbon in the environment is approx 190 gigatons, so the remaining amount of the carbon was stoored by the oceans and other water reservoir, which may be get clear throug the attached diagram.

Hence remaining gigatons of carbon went into water reservoir.
