Where do plants in the ocean get carbon?
Carbon Dioxide dissolves in ocean water. Plants in the ocean use the carbon dioxide dissolved in the ocean water.
What is the percentage of biomass produced by plants in ocean?
85% biomass produced by plants in ocean.
What layer of earth do convergent boundaries float on?
Well, technically, convergent boundaries can be wherever there are tectonic plates, and convergent boundaries are just where two plates push together forming a mountain range or a mid-ocean ridge. So it can be on any layer of earth. By the way I'm only in 6th grade
Where is the outer most layer of the earth the thinnest?
ocean valleys...
Does theory continental drift state that new ocean crust is formed at ocean ridges and destroyed at deep sea trenches?
No, the theory is that Seafloor spreading state that the new ocean crust is formed at ocean ridges and is destroyed at deep sea trenches.
Where would continental drift be in the US?
they say that California is going to float off to sea or going to sink into the ocean
In which layer of the ocean are you likely to find most plants?
The epipelagic zone
Why do plants live near the top layer of the ocean?
The plants get more sunlight near the surface of the ocean. They need sunlight to grow and to produce photosynthesis.
Why do drift seeds float?
Drift seeds float due to their light structure and air-filled cavities, which provide buoyancy. Many drift seeds have a fibrous or spongy coating that helps them stay afloat and dispersed by ocean currents. This adaptation allows them to travel long distances across water, increasing their chances of reaching suitable habitats for germination.
What are sizes shapes and positions of the continents changed by?
The sizes, shapes, and positions of continents are changed by the movement of tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle, causing them to drift and collide over millions of years. This movement results in continental drift, leading to the formation of new landmasses, mountain ranges, and ocean basins.
What is the purpose of sargassum air bladders?
Sargassum air bladders provide buoyancy to the seaweed, allowing it to float on the ocean surface. This helps the sargassum access sunlight for photosynthesis and allows it to drift with ocean currents.
What layer of the ocean are you likely to find microscopic plants called phytoplankton?
Answer is The epipelagic zone
What do deep ocean benthic organisms most often feed on?
dead plants and animals that drift from the surface
What layer of the ocean do plants grow?
Plants in the ocean typically grow in the euphotic zone, which is the upper layer where sunlight penetrates and allows for photosynthesis to occur. This zone usually extends to around 200 meters deep, but can vary based on water clarity and other factors.
What do jellyfish float on in the ocean?
they do not float on any thing
What are important plants for the ocean?
There are a wide variety of plants that live in the ocean, both plants with roots attached to the sea floor and plants which float in the water. The most common ocean plant is phytoplankton. Other plants include kelp, seagrass, and many types of algae,
What is plakton?
"Plankton" refers to a diverse group of organisms that float or drift in the ocean or other bodies of water. They include a variety of microscopic plants (phytoplankton) and animals (zooplankton) that form the base of many aquatic food chains. Plankton play a crucial role in marine ecosystems by supporting the food web and contributing to the global carbon cycle.
