What is the carbonate compensation depth?
The carbonate compensation depth (CCD) is the depth in the ocean at which the rate of calcium carbonate production equals the rate of dissolution. Below this depth, calcium carbonate dissolves due to increased pressure and decreasing pH, preventing accumulation. The CCD varies with ocean chemistry, temperature, and biological activity.
What is the average depth of the ocean in miles?
The average depth of the ocean is about 2.5 miles.
Why is pressure 500 feet under the ocean greater than the pressure 500 feet under the great lakes?
The pressure under the ocean is greater than under the Great Lakes because the density of seawater is higher than freshwater. Seawater is also influenced by the weight of the water column above due to the depth of the ocean, leading to higher pressure.
What is the average depth of the Pacific Ocean?
The average depth of the Pacific Ocean is around 12,080 feet.
What is the relationship between the depth of warm water at the surface of the ocean and the intesity of a hurricane?
Generally speaking the greater the depth of the warm water, the stronger the hurricane can get. Is is because a greater depth means a greater volume of warm water to supply energy for a hurricane.
What is relationship between fluid density and pressure?
The relationship between fluid density and pressure can be described by the hydrostatic equation, which states that pressure in a fluid increases with increasing fluid density. This relationship is important in understanding how pressure changes with depth in a fluid column, such as in the ocean or in a container.
What is the relationship between depth and sunlight?
The relationship between depth and sunlight is that sunlight penetration decreases as depth increases in water. This is due to the absorption and scattering of light by water molecules and particles. Consequently, less sunlight reaches deeper parts of the water column, affecting the availability of light for photosynthesis and primary production.
What decreases as the ocean depth decreases?
Water pressure.
What is the water pressure of the arctic ocean?
Depends on the depth.
What is depth as it is relating to the ocean?
Depth is a measure of distance between the surface and the ocean floor.
How does fluid pressure change with depth?
Pressure changes very easily. The deeper that you go there is more pressure. For example, when you dive into the ocean, there is not only a whole sky-worth of air pushing down on you, but you are also being pressured by the tons of water above you. On the flipside, when you travel to a greater altitude, pressure decreases. For exapmle, when you climb a mountian, there is less air above you pushing down on you then there is on sealevel.
What is the pressure of the bottom of the crust?
It depends where in the ocean you mean! To work this out: At sea level, the Earth's atmosphere exerts a pressure of 1 bar. Then each 10 meter depth of Sea Water also exerts a pressure of 1 bar. So take your ocean bottom depth (in meters) divide it by 10 and add 1. This will give you the pressure at that depth of ocean. alot
Where is ocean floor at the greatest water depth?
the middle, between the ocean
What depth would the ocean pressure be 1000 pounds per square inch?
1440
Absolute pressure of 73.5 psia would be found at what depth of the ocean?
132 feet
Why is pressure higher at the depth of A meters in the ocean than it is at a depth of 150 kilometer in the atmosphere?
Because water is denser than air.
How much does pressure change in the depth of the ocean?
Pressure in the ocean increases with depth due to the weight of the overlying water. On average, pressure increases by about one atmosphere (approximately 14.7 psi or 101.3 kPa) for every 10 meters (about 33 feet) of depth. For example, at a depth of 1,000 meters, the pressure is roughly 100 times greater than at sea level, totaling around 100 atmospheres. This increase in pressure significantly affects marine life and underwater equipment.
