I WONDER - What Is A Carbon Sink?

The video explains carbon sinks, which are natural systems that absorb carbon from the atmosphere. It highlights two main types: oceans and photosynthesis. Oceans absorb carbon dioxide, forming carbonic acid, which can lead to acid rain if excessive. Photosynthesis, used by plants, converts carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water into energy. Deforestation reduces the capacity for carbon removal, impacting the environment.

Explain the process of photosynthesis in relation to carbon dioxide.

What happens to the amount of carbon that can be removed from the atmosphere when plants and trees are cut down?
