South End of Wrightsville Beach
This photo was taken at the South end of Wrightsville Beach at Crystal Pier on January, 21, 2018. This photo represents the carbon cycle since the ocean acts as a carbon pool. In the carbon cycle, Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is diffused into the ocean as well as released from the ocean. This is only one part of a greater cycle in which carbon is released into the atmosphere from decay of plants and animals, respiration from animals and humans and combustion of fossil fuels from peat, coal, and gas that are created through the process of carbonification. The ocean is an area of carbon pooling because carbon is released from the atmosphere and it collects in the ocean until it is released once again into the atmosphere.
