Natural reservoirs and their characteristics
Main Article Content
Abstract
ln Geochemistry accumulated matter in nature is sometime referred to as reservoirs to which matter is added or from which matter is subtracted. A reservoir in nature is thus a stote through wich matter is passing during its circulation in nature. Taking the carbón circulation as an example there are several reservoirs involved, among others the atmosphere, the sea, living organic matter and dead organic matter. Some of these can be divided into plants and animals, the sea into the Surface layer and the Deep sea and so on, all depending ipon the purpose of the study.
