Carbon+Sequestration+(Tori+Gallo)

=**What is it?** =
 * **Carbon Sequestration** is "the removal and storage of carbon from the atmosphere in carbon sinks (such as oceans, forests or soils) through physical or biological processes, such as photosynthesis" (Green Facts 2009).
 * It is a way to migrate the accumulation of greenhouse gases that are released by the burning of fossil fuels.
 * The carbon that is stored in the ground will lesson the amount carbon in the atmosphere instead of having it build up and create heat.

 //*This picture is pointing out the different options you have to choose from to the store carbon taken from carbon sequestration.//

= What problem(s) is it trying to address? =  = =  =media type="youtube" key="zqKHsY-swgk" height="344" width="425" =  //*This video is a good overall explanation of what Carbon Sequestration is and what it does to help our atmosphere// (Youtube 2009).
 * Carbon sequestration is trying to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
 * By removing amounts of carbon from the air, we can help decrease climate change, which would help prevent the issue of global warming.

=When is it useful? =  =How does Carbon Sequestration relate to one or more of the nutrient cycles we discussed in class? =  =Is it a variable solution to protect the biosphere? = <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> =<span style="color: #00ffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; text-align: center;">What are the possible consequences to the environment? = <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">
 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Carbon sequestration can be useful all the time whenever it is needed.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Carbon sequestration is closely related to the Carbon Cycle.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Since carbon sequestration helps reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, it will help balance the Carbon Cycle in order to keep the temperature of the atmosphere balanced.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Carbon sequestration is definitely a variable is protecting the biosphere. It will help balance the Carbon Cycle by taking Carbon out of the air and storing it in order to reduce the amount of heat that is trapped in the atmosphere. This will then help reduce the process of global warming and put the Carbon Cycle back in balance.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Carbon sequestration increases the pollution of water supplies because carbon acid is formed when carbon dioxide mixes with water underground.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Earthquakes can be triggered from the holes that the workers have to drill into the ground for carbon sequestration.
