[6-5-2022] Microsoft Rewards Bing Homepage Quiz Question: What is ‘blue carbon’?
The given options are:
- Carbon emitted by airplanes
- Carbon offsets purchased by liberals
- Carbon captured by oceans
Correct Answer: Carbon captured by oceans
Info: The term ‘blue carbon’ refers to carbon that is captured by the world’s oceans and coastal ecosystems. Just as forests on land remove climate-changing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the oceans’ algae, sea grasses, mangroves, and salt marshes capture and hold carbon dioxide, acting as a giant carbon sink. Some scientists believe that because oceans cover 70% of the planet, blue carbon has the potential to remove far more carbon than terrestrial forests.
