We have talked about the cycles of nature in class, especially the carbon-oxygen cycle.
A carbon sink if a natural or man-made reservoir that accumulates and stores carbon for long periods of time. The ocean is a
carbon sink.Click the link below to see how this is affecting the coral reefs.
Read the article and post me suggestions for reducing the carbon in the environment.

is it possible to have too much CO2 in somthing?
ump, thanks for the question. Yes there can be too much CO2 in the atmosphere and water. CO2 is considered a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases function much like the glass windows of a greenhouse: they allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere and warm Earth but prevent heat from escaping. If there is too much CO2 then heat is trapped and warms the earth. This is a contributer to global warming. In the oceans, the more CO2 the more acidic the water and this affects ocean organisms like the coral.
