I WONDER - What Is A Carbon Sink? Me Pregunto - Qué Es Un Sumidero De Carbono?

The video explains carbon sinks, which 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. Photosynthesis allows plants to convert carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water into energy. Deforestation reduces the capacity to remove carbon from the atmosphere.

What are the two main types of carbon sinks?

• Forests and Deserts

• Oceans and Photosynthesis

• Mountains and Rivers

• Cities and Villages

How does the ocean contribute to carbon absorption?

• By increasing temperature

• By forming carbonic acid

• By reducing sunlight

• By creating oxygen

What harmful effect can excess carbonic acid have?

• It can cause droughts

• It can cause acid rain

• It can increase global warming

• It can reduce biodiversity

What do plants use in photosynthesis to produce energy?

• Carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water

• Oxygen, nitrogen, and sunlight

• Water, soil, and minerals

• Carbon monoxide, sunlight, and water

What is the impact of deforestation on carbon levels?

• It increases the amount of carbon absorbed

• It increases oxygen levels

• It reduces the amount of carbon absorbed

• It has no impact on carbon levels
