NASA | Earth Science Week: Keeping Up With Carbon

The video explains the carbon cycle, highlighting carbon's presence in Earth's ecosystems, including land and oceans. It discusses the ocean's role as a carbon sink and its impact on climate regulation. Human activities have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide, affecting climate and marine life. Future challenges include warming oceans and reduced carbon storage. NASA satellites help monitor these changes, providing insights into Earth's climate health.

What are the potential future consequences of a warmer planet on the carbon cycle?

What impact does increased atmospheric carbon dioxide have on marine life?

In what ways are NASA satellites used to monitor the ocean and carbon cycle?
