Marine plants contribute far more oxygen to the earths atmosphere than land plants they also use up a lot of CO2 in so doing.

What has an effect on air pressure?
gas composition of atmosphere (including water vapour); altitude; temperature; and wind velocity.
What has an effect on earths air pressure?

How does ozone enhance the greenhouse effect?
Ozone depletion causes plankton to die. These plankton are the ones that stop greenhouse effect.

What effect did photosynthetic cyanobacteria have on earth's environment?
Photosynthetic cyanobacteria were the first organisms to produce oxygen. The effect of their oxygen production was that the earth became an environment which was suitable for life.
How does the atmosphere link to global warming?
Global warming is linked to the atmosphere on multiple fronts:Solar Radiation: The sun warms the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.Atmospheric Composition: The composition of the atmosphere determines the severity of the greenhouse effect. Since the Industrial Revolution we have been releasing more and more carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuel (300 million-year-old carbon). This extra carbon is causing the accelerated greenhouse effect.
Is it true that the planet's atmosphere and temperature are related?
Oh yes, the chemical composition of the atmosphere has an effect on the temperature. This is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, in particular, has the capacity to retain heat. So as the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the world gets warmer. The world is wrapped in an invisible blanket.
How might the photosynthetic organisms counter the greenhouse effect?
Photosynthetic organisms counter the greenhouse effect. This is because plants use carbon dioxide and turns it into oxygen instead. Carbon dioxide is causing the greenhouse effect.
Which planet's cloudiness results in the greenhouse effect?
Mercury has no atmosphere, so that can't be it. Venus has a dense atmosphere, and is entirely enshrouded in clouds. It isn't the clouds on Venus that result in the greenhouse effect so much as the composition of its atmosphere. The air on Venus is mostly carbon dioxide, a heat trapping gas, and this has resulted in a runaway effect making Venus the hottest planet in our solar system.
Is the plankton effect on the environment positive or negative?
positive
Why does temperature have little effect on the absorption of light by photosynthetic organisms?
The same can be said about objects, As long as temperature does not change color, composition, or state of the object, they will always reflect (thus also absorb) roughly the same amount of light.
What is the effect of a tsunami on plankton?
nothing except they expand their ecosystem
