What is carbon pool?
A carbon pool is a reservoir with the capacity to store and release carbon, such as soil, terrestrial vegetation, the ocean, and the atmosphere.
Which metric unit would you use to measure the capacity of an ocean?
It depends on what you mean by capacity: The amount of water in the ocean would probably be measured in millions of cubic kilometres. The amount of a chemical substance it can dissolve might be in tons or kilotons - though the amount that can be absorbed safely will be very much smaller - possible only kilograms.
Why does Earth's air temperature vary greatly during the day while its ocean temperature varies only slightly?
The atmosphere has lower heat capacity
Why does earth's air temperature vary greatly during the day while it's ocean temperature only varies slightly?
The atmosphere has a lower heat capacity.
Why does land that is near the ocean change temperature less rapidly than land that is loated farther inland?
Land near the ocean changes temperature less rapidly because water has a higher specific heat capacity than land, meaning it takes longer to heat up and cool down. Water also has the ability to store and release heat, moderating temperature changes in coastal areas. In contrast, land farther inland heats up and cools down more quickly due to lower specific heat capacity and less heat storage capacity.
What is the capacity of an ocean liner?
10,000 tons
What is the capacity of ocean liners?
10,000 tons
What property of the ocean affects the climate the most?
Its heat capacity
How does the heat capacity of the ocean effect the temperature of the land?
it evaporates to weather
Why ocean is slow to heat and slow to cool?
Water has a high heat capacity
Does the ocean heat and cool fast or slow?
The ocean heats up slowly due to the high specific heat capacity it possesses.
What has a capacity of 1 Liter but not all the water in the ocean doesn't fill it up?
Funnel
What happens when algae multiply in ocean out of control?
When algae multiplies in the ocean out of control they will eventually begin to die rapidly. This is because they have reached their carrying capacity.
Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmoshpere?
The high heat capacity and thermal conductivity of water make it heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere. Water can absorb and store more heat energy compared to air. Additionally, the mixing of ocean waters and the vastness of the ocean help to distribute and transfer heat more slowly.
Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosohere?
The ocean has a higher heat capacity than the atmosphere, meaning it can absorb and store more heat before its temperature changes. Additionally, the movement of water in the ocean, such as currents and mixing, distributes heat more evenly throughout the ocean, causing it to heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere.
What qualities of the ocean enable it to efficiently absorb heat?
The ocean's high heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and vast surface area enable it to efficiently absorb heat.
Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere?
The ocean has a higher heat capacity due to its mass and density, which means it can absorb and retain more heat energy compared to the atmosphere. This results in a slower rate of temperature change in the ocean as it takes more energy to warm up or cool down. Additionally, the ocean's currents and circulation patterns also play a role in distributing heat more slowly throughout its depths.
