Answer:

Alright, sure thing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon that is a part of rocks and fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas may be held away from the rest of the carbon cycle for a long time. These long-term storage places are called “sinks”. When fossil fuels are burned, carbon that had been underground is being sent into the air as carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.

TL; DR, Carbon that is a part of rocks and fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas may be held away from the rest of the carbon cycle for a long time.
