What are large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide absorbed by?
The ocean absorbs large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and is acidified thereby.
Why does a hurricane have to begin at sea?
A hurricane requires an enormous supply of water vapor to develop. Such large amounts can only be found over warm ocean water.
When large amounts of carbon dioxide dissolve in the oceans what is the result?
When large amounts of carbon dioxide dissolve in the oceans, it leads to ocean acidification. This process decreases the pH of seawater, making it more acidic, which can harm marine life, particularly organisms like corals and shellfish that rely on calcium carbonate for their shells and skeletons. Additionally, altered ocean chemistry can disrupt marine ecosystems and food webs, impacting biodiversity and fisheries.
How dangerous are tsunami in the open ocean and why?
Tsunamis in the open ocean are not dangerous at all; they aren't even noticeable. In deep ocean water a tsunamis is only a few feet to a few inches high and dozens of miles long. It is only when a tsunami reaches shallow water that it gains height.
Why is an earthquake in the ocean more dangerous than one on land?
An earthquake in the ocean is dangerous than on land because in the ocean if it occurs it can generate an earthquake which can cause more destruction than an earthaquake on land
What Large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide are absorbed by what?

Why is the ocean dangerous?
There can be many different reasons1. The ocean has a lot of currents2. Some oceans are very cold3. There can be sharks or jellyfish4. The ocean is very deep
How much ocean water can you safely drink?
It is not safe to drink ocean water because it is too salty and can lead to dehydration. Drinking small amounts in emergency situations can be harmful to your health.
What feature the ocean allows it to alter weather patterns?
its size allows it to store large amounts of heat energy
Why is drinking ocean water harmful?
The science clearly points out that drinking sea water in large amounts is very unhealthy. Drinking small quantities without ever offsetting it with fresh water is also very clearly unhealthy. As most times it would be impossible, if not extremely hard, to supplement sea water with a proper amount of fresh water in a survival situation, it is best to avoid it altogether.
Vertical ocean current when cold deep water comes to the surface carrying large amounts of nutrients?
i think its thermocline
What happens if you drink a cup of ocean water from the Gulf of Mexico?
It will taste very salty and possibly make you gag. Other than that no harm is done.
If you live in the ocean how do you get drinking water?
if you live in the ocean you are not human...
What causes a hurricane to get stronger?
Hurricanes strengthen when they encounter large amounts of moisture over warm ocean water with little to interfere in their convection.
Do we get drinking water from the ocean?
Ocean water is converted to drinking water through a process known as desalinization (removal of salt).
What is the most dangerous dolphin in the ocean?
Dolphins are not considered dangerous.
