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.
Is there more plants or animals underwater?
Plants may be condsidered as animals, but animals are more plentiful in ocean than anywhere else.
Does the atmosphere store more carbon dioxide than the ocean?
No it does not
Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere?
The ocean has a higher heat capacity.
What is the comparative and superlative of the word plentiful?
more plentiful, most plentiful
What is the comparative and superlative for the word plentiful?
more plentiful comparativemost plentiful superlative
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.

How many times more carbon is in the oceans than in the atmosphere?
The oceans contain about 50 times more carbon dioxide (CO2) than the atmosphere and 19 times more than the land biosphere.
Why are there sometimes more seashells on the seashore than other times?
Storms dredge them up so they're more plentiful afterward.
What is the definition of abundance?
a more than plentiful quantity of something.
