How Does Carbon Get Into The Oceans? - The Carbon Cycle

The video explains the significant amount of carbon stored in the ocean, which is about 50 times more than in the atmosphere. It highlights the importance of understanding carbon storage in the deep ocean, where it can remain for long periods. Two main pathways for carbon to reach the deep ocean are discussed: physical processes involving cold dense water and biological processes involving organisms. The video also covers the exchange of carbon dioxide between the ocean and atmosphere, emphasizing the role of plants in this process.
