Sore throat is a symptom, not a disease. In each case, there was a different cause that dictated a different treatment. The scratchy throat probably was a mechanical problem caused by dry, heated winter air and aggravated by my friend's tendency to breathe through her mouth when she sleeps.
Definition. Carbon-storing natural feature (such as a forest or the land mass) that exchanges carbon with other reservoirs. A reservoir from which no outflow of carbon compounds takes place is called carbon sink.
Basically, carbon sinks are holding tanks for carbon or carbon compounds, like carbon dioxide (CO2). One of the largest reservoirs of carbon is the Earthâs hard rock crust. Over the eons sedimentary rocks were formed that contain loads of carbon compounds, including the hydrocarbons that we now use as fossil fuels.
