The ocean and the atmosphere serve as long-term storage areas for carbon and other nutrients. what are these storage areas called? a. reservoirs b. fossil fuels c. biostorages d. compounds

A) Reservoirs

When carbon dioxide CO2 is released into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels, approximately 50% remains in the atmosphere, while 25% is absorbed by land plants and trees, and the other 25% is absorbed into certain areas of the ocean. The carbon dioxide is stored in the interior of the Earth in the form of carbonate rocks, such as limestone, dolomite, and chalk.  Fish and other animals in the ocean breathe oxygen and give off carbon dioxide (CO2), just like land animals and hence it remains there too.
