Most of the carbon in the rocks that form Earth's mantle and crust was stored there when Earth formed. The rest of Earth's carbon is stored and exchanged in many ways. In a model of the carbon cycle, which process does NOT contribute directly to the storage of carbon within sediment?

Photosynthesis.

Explanation:

In photosynthesis process, carbondioxide gas enters into plant leaves from which plant produces organic molecules such as glucose. This glucose helps the plant to increase it growth and complete development stages and finally the plant dies and buried in the soil so due to decomposition process, the carbon present in the plant body releases in the soil and become part of sediments. So indirectly photosynthesis process provides carbon to the soil.

stupid i wont let you get a chance

explanation:
