Which two sources are carbon sinks?
Oceans and forests are the two largest natural carbon sinks, which extract carbon from the atmosphere through biological processes. In the ocean, plankton, coral, fish, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria capture CO2 from the water.

What are the seven causes of climate change?
The following causes of Climate Change are as under:-
1. Generating power. Generating electricity and heat by burning fossil fuels causes a large
chunk of global emissions.
2. Manufacturing goods.
3. Cutting down forests.
4. Using transportation.
5. Producing food.
6. Powering buildings.
7. Consuming too much.

What are the four main types of climate change mitigation?
There are four types of measures:-
1. Sustainable energy and sustainable transport.
2. Energy conservation including efficient energy use.
3. Sustainable agriculture and green industrial policy.
4. Enhancing carbon sinks and carbon dioxide removalincluding carbon sequestration.

How do wetlands filter water?
Wetlands purify our water by removing sediments and other pollutants including chemicals. Wetlands also filter and process excess nutrients that may runoff from agricultural and development sites. Wetlands have been called “the kidneys of our watersheds.”

How do wetlands store carbon?
All wetlands sequester carbon from the atmosphere through plant photosynthesis and by acting as sediment traps for runoff. Carbon is held in the living vegetation as well as in litter, peats, organic soils and sediments that have built up in some instances, over thousands of years.

How does climate change affect the wetlands?
Coastal wetlands will also be impacted by sea level rise and changes in water chemistry. Those changes can alter wetland conditions and processes, including the types of habitat they provide, and their ability to manage water quality and flooding.
