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.
When ocean water reaches the poles what happens?
When ocean water reaches the poles, it cools down and becomes denser, causing it to sink to deeper parts of the ocean. This cold, dense water then starts to circulate and move towards lower latitudes, influencing global ocean currents and climate patterns. Additionally, the melting of ice at the poles adds freshwater to the ocean, impacting salinity levels and ocean circulation dynamics.
What happens to carbon dixoide in the ocean?
Carbon dioxide in the ocean can undergo several processes, including dissolving into the water to form carbonic acid, being taken up by marine organisms for photosynthesis, and participating in chemical reactions that can affect the ocean's pH levels. This can contribute to ocean acidification, which can have negative impacts on marine life.
What happens to the ocean floor the farther the oceanic lithosphere is from a mid ocean ridge?
As the oceanic lithosphere moves away from a mid-ocean ridge, it cools and thickens. This process causes the ocean floor to become older and denser, resulting in its gradual subsidence. The farther it gets from the ridge, the deeper the ocean floor becomes due to the increased thickness and weight of the lithosphere.
What happens when the ocean absorbs too much CO2?
When the ocean absorbs too much CO2, it becomes more acidic, which can harm marine life such as coral reefs, shellfish, and plankton. This process is known as ocean acidification and can disrupt the overall balance of marine ecosystems, affecting biodiversity and the food chain.
