How did carbon dioxide end up in sedimentary rocks?
Carbon dioxide is dissolved into the sea. Marine organisms use the dissolved carbon dioxide to make shells of calcium carbonate. When these organisms die, they fall to the sea bed. Layers of dead organisms and sediment build up on the sea bed. These layers are compacted and compressed to form sedimentry rock.
How does petroleum form?
Petroleum is formed under Earth's surface by the decomposition of marine organisms. The remains of tiny organisms. EW!
Where was the copper sheathing fitted on the HMS alarm and why?
It was fitted on the hull. This is because copper is an antifouling material so marine organisms have great difficulty attaching. Without marine organisms (fouling) there is less resistance and the boat can go much faster.
Are the white cliffs of dover make from fossils or is the lime made from a chemical reaction?
The cliffs are chalk, a form of limestone from the remains of small ancient marine organisms.
Is limestone a metallic element?
Most limestone is the skeletal remains of marine organisms. Basically, laid down on the sea bed in layers, and compressed over a very long time, the layers become solid limestone rock.
What word describes marine organisms?
Living things that live in seawater.
How do biological processes influence the type and amount of gases dissolved in seawater?
Biological processes such as photosynthesis and respiration by marine plants and animals influence the type and amount of gases dissolved in seawater. During photosynthesis, marine plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which increases the dissolved oxygen concentration in seawater. Similarly, during respiration, marine organisms consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide, which reduces the dissolved oxygen concentration and increases carbon dioxide levels. These processes play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of gases in seawater and supporting marine ecosystems.
What two major factors do marine organisms depend on for their survival?
They depend on FOOD and DISSOLVED OXYGEN.
What two gases vital to marine life?
Gases are also dissolved by seawater. Carbon dioxide(CO2) is dissolved in ocean water and used by phytoplankton to produce plant matter. Oxygen and nitrogendissolved at the surface from the atmosphere are also present in seawater. Conversely, the ocean also releases these gases into the atmosphere.

Does the water of marine ecosystem contain dissolved salt?
Most marine ecosystems do contain saltwater. Some bodies of water do contain freshwater, but they are not the majority.
What is the main feature of a marine biome?
Seawater.
Compared to the seawater around them most marine invertebrates are?
isoosmotic
How and where do penguins obtain water?
They are marine birds, they can process seawater.
What is the study of marine organisms called?
The study of marine organisms is called as marine Biology. Hope this helps!

How does sunlight that penetrates seawater affect marine life in the hydrosphere?
the sun blindes the marine life , which makes it difficult for the marine to find food .
