Whale carcasses are also known to transport about 190,000 tons of carbon, which is the equivalent of that produced by 80,000 cars per year from the atmosphere to the deep oceans, and the deep oceans are what we call "carbon sinks," because they trap and hold excess carbon from the atmosphere, and therefore help to delay global warming.
生物的灭绝。 鲸鱼遗骸还能从大气层向深海运送大约190000吨的碳， 这相当于 80000量汽车 一年排放的总和。 深海被我们称为“碳池”， 因为那里能锁住和存储大气中多余的碳， 从而帮助减缓全球变暖。
