Question

select all that apply
the three short - term, active reservoirs for carbon dioxide are ______. (select all three)
□ terrestrial systems
□ space
□ the geologic reservoir
□ the oceans
□ the atmosphere

Explanation:

Terrestrial systems, the oceans, and the atmosphere are active and short - term reservoirs for carbon dioxide. Terrestrial plants take in and release CO₂ through photosynthesis and respiration. Oceans dissolve CO₂ and participate in carbon exchange. The atmosphere is a major site for CO₂ storage and movement in the short - term. Space is not a reservoir for Earth's CO₂, and the geologic reservoir involves long - term storage like in rocks.

Answer:

terrestrial systems, the oceans, the atmosphere
