Why is the thermohaline circulation important?
Thermohaline circulation brings oxygen rich water to the deep ocean.
Does oxygen in the ocean come from the sun and the air?
no the oxygen from the ocean comes from two things algae and plants create oxygen through photosynthisis and water is made mostly of oxygen and a bit of hydrogen
Why are density currents so important to marine life in the deep ocean?
Retain the oxygen absorved at the surface layer, as well as the tempeature, salinity, and density.
How much oxygen does the ocean have?
45 percent of the earths oxygen is produced by our oceans
Why is oxygen important to your human body?
Oxygen is important cells as without oxygen the human body is unable to release enough energy to support life. In theory any other element in the oxygen-group on the Periodic Table can be used to release energy but because other elements in that group are not easily turned into gases they can't used. Last comment; Oxygen is not important for blood; its important for the blood cells themselves and other cells. Blood and blood cells are very different.
What important resources are provided by bthe ocean?
Oxygen,energy,and food.
Why is the thermohaline circulation important?
Thermohaline circulation brings oxygen rich water to the deep ocean.
Is fire under the ocean?
Fire requires oxygen. There is no free oxygen in the ocean. Therefore there can be no fire at the bottom of the ocean.
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 are two elements in the ocean?
Hydrogen and oxygen
Is there oxygen on the ocean floor?
Yes. Oxygen is a component of water.
Does oxygen in the ocean come from the sun and the air?
no the oxygen from the ocean comes from two things algae and plants create oxygen through photosynthisis and water is made mostly of oxygen and a bit of hydrogen
How much oxygen does the ocean get?
All of it
Why are density currents so important to marine life in the deep ocean?
Retain the oxygen absorved at the surface layer, as well as the tempeature, salinity, and density.
Where did oxygen come from in the ocean?
It is diffused from the air, in the atmosphere, and from plant life in the ocean.
What body parts do ocean animals need to survive in the ocean?
The ocean animals need oxygen to survive.
How does life in the ocean get oxygen?
plants "breathe" carbon dioxide which is what animals exhale. the plant life in the ocean provides oxygen for the marine life.
