Question

the diagram shows two processes involving the ocean.
use the diagram to match each process to its definition.
ocean loss ocean uptake
a process where co₂ in the ocean is released into
the atmosphere.
a process where co₂ in the atmosphere is
absorbed by the ocean

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the definitions and match them to the processes:

1. For "A process where CO₂ in the ocean is released into the atmosphere" - this is ocean loss (as it's the release of CO₂ from ocean to atmosphere).
2. For "A process where CO₂ in the atmosphere is absorbed by the ocean" - this is ocean uptake (as the ocean takes in CO₂ from the atmosphere).

Answer:

• "A process where CO₂ in the ocean is released into the atmosphere": ocean loss
• "A process where CO₂ in the atmosphere is absorbed by the ocean": ocean uptake
