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.
Why is the temperature needed to freeze the ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of a freshwater lake?
Dissolved salts in water contribute to a decrease of the freezing point.
How are the minerals and dissolved gases in ocean water used?
The minerals and dissolved gases in ocean water are used by plant and animals.
What is the amount of dissolved salt in the ocean?
salinity
What percent of the ocean consists of dissolved salts?
