As a branch of astronomy, star formation includes the study of the interstellar medium (ISM) and giant molecular clouds (GMC) as precursors to the star formation process, and the study of protostars and young stellar objects as its immediate products.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) (or carbon capture and sequestration) is the process of capturing waste carbon dioxide (CO2) from large point sources, such as fossil fuel power plants, transporting it to a storage site, and depositing it where it will not enter the atmosphere, normally an underground geological formation.
Plants pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, releasing the  oxygen and retaining the carbon, in a process known as  photosynthesis. Most photosynthesis is performed by ma â¦ rine (ocean)  cyanobacteria.    Plants, trees and forests act as big carbon sinks, provided they do  not burn. In other words, because of carbon dioxide, but mostly water vapor, plant and animal life can exist on Earth. 2  helps keep the Earth from freezing over in places far from the equator by holding in some of the heat that came from the Sun.
