How does circulation in the ocean move carbon in the carbon cycle?

Answer 1

The ocean plays an important part in the carbon cycle. ... Photosynthesis by tinymarine plants (phytoplankton) in the sunlit surface waters turns the carbon into organic matter. Many organisms use carbon to make calcium carbonate, a building material of shells and skeletons.Jun 22, 2010
