Similarity and differences of carbon cycle in the ocean as on land:

  • The Carbon Cycle is a biogeochemical cycle by which Carbon circulates around the planet.
  • Carbon Cycle just like other cycles compromises of sequence of events that are essential to make earth capable of sustaining life.
  • In land carbon is mostly circulated through photosynthesis and stored in living as well as non-living organisms.
  • In oceans carbon is absorbed and dissolved into the water and get used by animals and plants.
  • Ocean is like a giant sponge that soaks up more carbon than it gives.
  • Like on land photosynthesis too occur in oceans and get incorporated into marine and terrestrial organisms as organic matter.
