The ocean plays a key role in absorbing carbon, through geographical carbon cycling or the slow carbon cycle. Italian ...

It can take as long as 200 million years for carbon to move through abiotic elements such as rocks, soil, and oceans. Thus, this circulation of carbon is known as the slow carbon cycle.

That increase would then add more carbon to the atmosphere and fuel more warming. This cycle, known as a positive climate feedback, has been a key concern for climate scientists. But according to a ...

Strikingly, microplastics are becoming a measurable part of the ocean's carbon cycle, making up just 0.1% of carbon particles at 30 meters but rising to 5% at 2,000 meters.

The slow carbon cycle makes up half of this system. Spewed out from volcanoes, carbon dioxide is absorbed by calcium-rich oceans to form limestone rock that is subducted back into the mantle ...
