What gives more oxygen to the atmosphere?
Plankton gives more oxygen to the atmosphere.
How does the ocean affect the weather?
The weather affects the ocean in various ways. When the climate is hot, the ocean will raise hot air into the atmosphere and therefore the impact of the weather on the ocean is directly proportional.
How do rivers affect the ocean?
They add more water to the ocean.
Why does density continuously increase from atmosphere to core?
Because of gravity, and an effect gravity creates that we call weight. Substances that weigh less will rest (in liquids or gas, float) above substances that weigh more. Gravitationally significant objects, such as planets, will tend to sift their materials; heavier materials will settle lower through the lighter ones. Also, the lower materials are compressed by the weight of the material above them (which amplifies the density of the lower material); this is why despite it all being made of seawater, pressure at lower ocean depths is much greater than the pressure of ocean water near the surface and also why air is thinner the higher in altitude you go -- in oceans, the bottommost oceanwater is compressed by the weight of all the ocean water above it and in the atmosphere, the air at the surface is compressed to the air pressure we are familiar with by the weight of the atmosphere above.
Does earth have more greenhouse gases than mercury?
Yes. Mercury barely has an atmosphere at all.
What gas is 60 times more plentiful in the ocean than it is in the atmosphere?
carbon dioxide
Which gas O2 or CO2 is more plentiful in our atmosphere?
Oxygen is by far the more plentiful. There is about 21% of oxygen in fresh air, but only 0.04 % of carbon dioxide.
How much more carbon is in the ocean than in the atmosphere?
The ocean contains approximately 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere. While the atmosphere holds about 3 trillion metric tons of carbon dioxide, the ocean contains around 38,000 trillion metric tons of dissolved inorganic carbon. This significant difference highlights the ocean's critical role in regulating Earth's carbon cycle and climate.
Is there more plants or animals underwater?
Plants may be condsidered as animals, but animals are more plentiful in ocean than anywhere else.
What is the comparative and superlative of the word plentiful?
more plentiful, most plentiful
How much more carbon dioxide is in the air than in the ocean?
Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are significantly higher than those in the ocean. As of recent measurements, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is around 420 parts per million (ppm), while the ocean's surface water typically contains about 90-100 ppm of dissolved CO2. This difference is due to the ocean absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere, but the atmosphere remains the primary reservoir for this greenhouse gas. Thus, the atmosphere holds roughly four to five times more carbon dioxide than the ocean.
What is the comparative and superlative for the word plentiful?
more plentiful comparativemost plentiful superlative
Why does th ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere?
The ocean has a higher heat capacity than the atmosphere, meaning it can store more heat. This allows the ocean to heat up and cool down more slowly compared to the atmosphere. Additionally, the mixing of the ocean's layers and currents also contribute to its slower heating and cooling rates.
What happens to the pH of the ocean when carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere?
When carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere, it gets absorbed by the ocean, causing the pH of the ocean to decrease, making it more acidic.
Why does the ocean heat and cook more slowly than the atmosphere?
The ocean has a higher heat capacity and is denser than the atmosphere, which means it can absorb and release heat more slowly. Additionally, the ocean's currents help distribute heat more evenly across the globe, leading to slower changes in temperature compared to the atmosphere.
Which dissolved gas is present in the ocean much greater proportion than in the atmosphere?
The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is very small (.04%) because CO2 is in great demand by photosynthetic plants as a source of carbon for growth. The proportion of dissolved CO2 in water is about 15% of all dissolved gases. There is about 60 times more CO2 dissolved in the ocean as in the atmosphere.
Why are there sometimes more seashells on the seashore than other times?
Storms dredge them up so they're more plentiful afterward.
