The two major dissolved gases in ocean water are?
The two principal gases that are dissolved in ocean water are oxygen and carbon dioxide. These gases are vital for marine life.
How do dissolved gases get in ocean water?
The main dissolved gases found in the ocean include, but are not limited to: carbon dioxide, oxygen, and hydrogen. Dissolved gases, especially oxygen, are important, since it provides dissolved oxygen for aquatic organisms to "breathe" in. Also, the carbon dioxide dissolved in the ocean helps lessen the amount of carbon dioxide in the environment.
What type is ocean water mixture?
Ocean water is a mixture because it has water and salt together.
What is water that is free from dissolved minerals?
Dissolved minerals are usually in the form of ions. Therefore water that is free of dissolved minerals is called deionized water.
How are minerals formed in salt water?
because of the animals OK the person up there doesn't know what they're talking about, because what makes animals salty? THINK my science book has facts, and it says " salts have collected on the bottom of the ocean floor for billions of years. as rivers and streams flow toward the ocean, they dissolve minerals from the land. the running water carries these dissolved minerals to the ocean." therefore it does help make the ocean salty

What is the major source of the dissolved minerals that affect the salinity of ocean water?
Continental Erosion
What dissolved gases enter ocean water both from the atmosphere and from organisms that photosynthesize?
carbon
What main gases are dissolved in ocean water?
oxygen and carbon dioxide
Ocean water is more dense than fresh water due to which content?
Ocean water has many more various salts and minerals dissolved in it.
What type is ocean water mixture?
Ocean water is a mixture because it has water and salt together.
Which one of the following regions would you expect to find the largest amounts of dissolved oxygen in the ocean water?
In the polar regions, there is more dissolved oxygen in the ocean water. The cold water is able to hold more dissolved gases than warm water.
What is water that is free from dissolved minerals?
Dissolved minerals are usually in the form of ions. Therefore water that is free of dissolved minerals is called deionized water.
Why isn't water salty?
Some water is salty. The ocean and some lakes are salt water. It depends on how many minerals are dissolved in the water.
What is the solute and solvent in the ocean?
The water is the solvent; all other dissolved substances, including gases are solutes.
How do you get soft water and hard water?
Soft or hard water has to do with the amount of dissolved minerals in water and what those minerals are. "Harder" water has more dissolved minerals (like calcium.)
