How does the ocean affect the rate of accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere?
Oceans act as a carbon sink, in fact they are the largest carbon sink absorbing about 1/4 of the CO2 we put into the air. However, with global warming considering that CO2 dissolves better in cold water there is a worry that the oceans will not be able to hold as much CO2 and will begin to release it into the atmosphere
What percentage of CO2 that is emitted by the atmosphere is absorb by the ocean?
35% is obsorbed by ocean
Can the Ocean absorb all of the CO2 that you produce?
The ocean is one of the largest CO2 sinks in existance. A sink is a system that takes carbon dioxide out of the air. The ocean does this by several mechanisms: * photosynthesis by all the algae * dissolving the gas into the water * fixing the carbon dioxide into corals and shell asa carbonate So yes the ocean could absorb all the CO2. However - dissolving CO2 creates problems for the ocean. As more CO2 is absorbed the ocean gets more acidic and the corals can't maintain their carbonate deposits, these dissolve back into the water, the pH interfered with osmotic pressures and breeding conditions for fish. In addition the increased CO2 promotes algae growth which may cause algae blooms (large algae clumps) which sink to the bottom of he ocean removig trace minerals from the water. So the answer is realy "Yes it can, but you probably don't want it to."
How much CO2 does an oak tree absorb in a year?
An oak tree can absorb about 48 pounds of CO2 in a year.
Does the Amazon emit or absorb co2?
The Amazon rainforest acts as a carbon sink, absorbing more carbon dioxide than it emits. The trees and plants in the Amazon absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, helping to reduce the concentration of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
How would dumping fertilizers in the ocean help reduce carbon dioxide levles?
Dumping fertilizers in the ocean can stimulate phytoplankton growth, which are microscopic plants that photosynthesize and absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. This process can enhance the ocean's capacity to sequester carbon, as phytoplankton convert CO2 into organic matter. When these organisms die, a portion of this carbon can sink to the ocean floor, effectively removing CO2 from the atmosphere for long periods. However, this approach raises ecological concerns, such as harmful algal blooms and disruption of marine ecosystems.
Was it a challenge for the first land plants to absorb enough CO2?
No it was not a challenge to absorb enough CO2.
Which dissolved gas is present in the ocean much greater proportion than in the atmosphere?
The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is very small (.04%) because CO2 is in great demand by photosynthetic plants as a source of carbon for growth. The proportion of dissolved CO2 in water is about 15% of all dissolved gases. There is about 60 times more CO2 dissolved in the ocean as in the atmosphere.
Does CO2 sink in the air?
No, carbon dioxide (CO2) does not sink in the air. It is a gas that is evenly distributed throughout the atmosphere.
What takes co2 out of the air?
Plants help remove CO2 from the air through the process of photosynthesis. Additionally, the oceans absorb and store large amounts of CO2, acting as a carbon sink. Some processes involving chemical reactions or technology can also capture and store CO2 emissions from the air.
Which plants absorb the most CO2 from the atmosphere?
Tropical rainforests and mangroves are the plants that absorb the most CO2 from the atmosphere.
Does CO2 sink or rise in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) rises in the atmosphere.
