A phytoplankton that remains below its compensation depth will receive insufficient light for photosynthesis to exceed respiration. As a result, the phytoplankton will not be able to produce enough energy to survive and grow, leading to a decline in population size or eventual death.
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.
Calcide Compensation Depth.
charge coupled device or Calcium Compensation Depth: The depth in the Earth's oceans (roughly 5000m) below which net solution of calcium carbonate occurs at a faster rate than net depsition
In oceanography, calcite compensation depth refers to the depth at which the rate of carbonate accumulation equals the rate of carbonate dissolution. It is an important concept in the study of paleoclimate and the components found in seafloor mud.
It increases up to a certain point.
the pressure decreases the pressure increases
temperature increases with depth
Both temperature and pressure increase with depth.
It is the depth of the hull below the waterline.
Water particles move in circular orbits as a wave passes by. The orbit diminishes in size with depth, becoming negligible below a depth equal to half of the wavelength. The particles return to their original position once the wave passes by.
Its intensity decreases.
