What percentage of CO2 that is emitted by the atmosphere is absorb by the ocean?
35% is obsorbed by ocean
Can the Ocean absorb all of the CO2 that you produce?
The ocean is one of the largest CO2 sinks in existance. A sink is a system that takes carbon dioxide out of the air. The ocean does this by several mechanisms: * photosynthesis by all the algae * dissolving the gas into the water * fixing the carbon dioxide into corals and shell asa carbonate So yes the ocean could absorb all the CO2. However - dissolving CO2 creates problems for the ocean. As more CO2 is absorbed the ocean gets more acidic and the corals can't maintain their carbonate deposits, these dissolve back into the water, the pH interfered with osmotic pressures and breeding conditions for fish. In addition the increased CO2 promotes algae growth which may cause algae blooms (large algae clumps) which sink to the bottom of he ocean removig trace minerals from the water. So the answer is realy "Yes it can, but you probably don't want it to."
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
Was it a challenge for the first land plants to absorb enough CO2?
No it was not a challenge to absorb enough CO2.
What do forests absorb?
co2
Do plants absorb oxygen along with CO2?
Well,plants do absorb oxygen along with CO2,but only a little.We take in oxygen with CO2,but only a little.
What role does the oceans play in the carbon cycle?
Oceans are able to absorb maximum amount of CO2 from air . then this absorbed CO2 is taken by plant inside Ocean. by this way oceans are helpful in carbon cycle.
Does limewater absorb CO2?
Yes
Can table salt absorb CO2?
No.
Can humans destroy carbon dioxide?
No. It's possible to remove it from the atmosphere chemically, we can add more plants and plants convert co2 and release oxygen this is the only way we can convert co2 there is no way we can destroy it . also ocean absorb co2 to large extent but we are producing too much of it . plants are safest way and most easily can be bring to practice.
Why co2 absorbs more heat?
CO2 absorb more heat than other gases or we can say that the other gases are not able to absorb lower radition of infrared rays of 5 to 15 microns but CO2 absorb these and CO2 later on re-radiate these as longer rays ( as heat).
Do plants absorb Co2 through their roots?
No-it can enter from its laves to
