How does the ocean affect the rate of accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere?
Oceans act as a carbon sink, in fact they are the largest carbon sink absorbing about 1/4 of the CO2 we put into the air. However, with global warming considering that CO2 dissolves better in cold water there is a worry that the oceans will not be able to hold as much CO2 and will begin to release it into the atmosphere
How many times more carbon is in the oceans than in the atmosphere?
The oceans contain about 50 times more carbon dioxide (CO2) than the atmosphere and 19 times more than the land biosphere.
What activities of man results acidification of oceans?
The most prominant artificial cause of the acidification of the oceans is the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This causes the oceans to absorb the CO2, thereby increasing their acidity
What is a positive feedback loop increasing carbon dioxide?
The Oceanic Solubility Pump.Oceans absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.As the oceans get warmer, they absorb LESS CO2 than before.So MORE CO2 remains in the atmosphere.So the atmosphere gets warmer.This makes the oceans warmer.So they absorb less CO2. And so on.This is a positive feedback loop which increases the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
How can breeding programs reduce pollution?
Breeding programs reduce pollution in the sense that breeding programs reduce the amount of air pollution in the atmosphere and slows down CO2 production.
How can we reduce your carbon footprint?
If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, you can reduce your emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere.
What absorbs gas?
The Oceans, as a whole, absorb most of the atmosphere's CO2.

Would animals reduce co2 levels in the atmosphere?
No, only vegetation growing removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Why will catalytic converters not help to solve the problem of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
because they do not help to reduce the amount of co2 in the atmosphere
How are th oceans involved in the carbon cycle?
The oceans act as carbon sinks when there is too much co2 in the atmosphere but that leads to the oceans being more acidic and it may kill marine life

What threatens the sustainability of oil?
This is bounded by the by now extremely remote capability and/or Ability of Our Paper-Thin Atmosphere to Absorb and Adsorb MORE CO2. Our Oceans HAVE ALREADY HAD THEIR FILL OF CO2.
How can you reduce the amount of CO2 that enters the atmosphere?
Use renewable energy instead of burning fossil fuel.
The oceans help provide an exchange of gases with the atmosphere by dissolving?
for the nova net users i believe that is it CO2 and O or just E
