How do oxygen enter seawater?

Oxygen enters seawater primarily through diffusion from the atmosphere at the ocean's surface. This process allows oxygen to dissolve in the surface waters, where it can be used by marine organisms for respiration. Ocean mixing and circulation also help distribute oxygen throughout different depths of the seawater column.

Where is the most anaerobic zone in the ocean?

The most anaerobic zone in the ocean is found in the waters near the seafloor in regions known as oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). These areas have very low levels of dissolved oxygen, making them suitable habitats for anaerobic organisms. OMZs are often located in deep ocean basins or along coastlines where oxygen supply is limited.
