What is study of ocean called?
The study of the ocean is Oceanography. The study of ocean life would be Marine Biology.
What is a wave caused by a sudden shift in the ocean floor called?
A wave caused by a sudden shift in the ocean floor is called a tsunami.
What is the vertical section of the ocean from the surface to the ocean floor referred to as?
This section of the ocean from floor to surface is called the water column.
What plants drift and float in top layer of the ocean?
the top layer of the ocean is called the Epipelagic
What is a map of the ocean called?
A map of the ocean is called a topographic map. On a map the oceans surface has highs and lows look similar to the hills and valleys of the Earth's surface.
The name given to high surface ocean levels as a result of hurricanes?
the temporary increase in ocean levels as a direct result of a hurricanes winds is called the storm surge.
If icebergs melt in the north of the Arctic Circle how will this influence ocean levels?
Ocean levels will rise.
Why isn't the ocean deeper at its center?
Because of the ocean levels.
What is the relationship between CO2 levels and pH in the ocean?
The relationship between CO2 levels and pH in the ocean is that as CO2 levels increase, the pH of the ocean decreases. This is because CO2 dissolves in seawater, forming carbonic acid, which lowers the pH of the water. This process is known as ocean acidification.
Does the ocean have low nutrient levels?
The evironment of the ocean is very low-nutrient. This is due to the fact that it is a HUGE environement and none of the ecosystems contained withing (such as coral reefs) can generate enough nutrients to make the entirety of the ocean system contain normal levels of nutrients.
The difference between levels of ocean water at high tide and low tide is?
It varies from place to place. It is called the Tidal Range.
How does atmospheric carbon dioxide impact pH levels in the ocean?
Atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves in the ocean, forming carbonic acid. This lowers the pH levels of the ocean, making it more acidic. This process is known as ocean acidification and can harm marine life and ecosystems.
Is there an ocean called the south ocean?
no
How does CO2 affect pH levels in the ocean?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolves in seawater to form carbonic acid, which lowers the pH levels of the ocean. This process is known as ocean acidification and can have harmful effects on marine life and ecosystems.
What is called a river current that meets ocean tides?
A river current that meets ocean tides is called an estuarine current. This phenomenon occurs in estuaries, where freshwater from rivers mixes with saltwater from the ocean, creating dynamic aquatic environments. The interaction between the river's flow and the tidal movements can lead to varying water levels and currents, influencing local ecosystems and navigation.
During the age the ocean levels were than now?
Lower
What does a drought do to the ocean?
a drought lowers the oceans tide levels
