Unique Nature of Pure Water(Section 1)
What Kind of bind forms between water molecules, giving water its unique properties?
What is a hydrogen bond?
Does the surface get hotter or colder than the depths of the ocean faster?
What is the surface?
What is the total amount of salt dissolved in the water?
What is salinity?
What gas from the atmosphere dissolves into seat water, leading to ocean acidification?
What is Carbon dioxide (CO2)?
What makes carbon dioxide convert into organic compounds?
What is photosynthesis?
What yep of molecule is water because it has slightly positive and slightly negative end?
What is a polar molecule?
What happens to the density of seawater when salinity increases?
what is it increases?
How many ions compose more than 99% of the material dissolved in seawater?
What is only six ions?
What weak acid forms when CO2 reacts with water?
What is Carbonic acid (H2CO3)?
Where does the carbon forms the backbone of all organic molecules start?
What is in the atmosphere?
Which property allows water molecules to stick to each other, creating surface tension?
What is cohesion?
What is used to measure water clarity?
What is secchi disk?
What ions come from volcanoes and hydrothermal vents?
What is sulfides and chlorides?
How does ocean acidification affect marine organisms like coral and shellfish?
What is it makes it harder from them to form calcium carbonate sheels and skeletons?
What process carried out by consumers, decomposers, and producers breaks down organic compounds and releases carbon dioxide back into the environment?
What is respiration?
Why does ice float on water?
What is ice is less dense than liquid water.
Does pressure dramatically increase or decrease with ocean depth?
What is increases?
What are trace elements that are removed from the ocean when they are incorporated into sinking particles
What is marine snow?
What does rising CO2 levels affect?
What is the chemistry ocean?
What is the name of the process where carbon is stores for long periods in the ocean or in rocks?
What means that substances can dissolve in water?
What is universal solvent?
As pressure increases gases are what?
What is compressed?
What does trace elements usually enter the ocean through?
What is river runoff, ground water seeps, the atmosphere, hydrothermal activity, and human derived inputs?
What is the processes of pH of the ocean drops and the ocean is becoming less alkaline?
What is ocean acidification?
How does the ocean act as a “carbon sink”?
What is it absorbs and stores large amounts of CO2 from that atmosphere through physical and biological processes?
