Unique Properties of Pure Water
The O in H2O.
What is oxygen?
The way you can see through water.
What is transparency?
The amount of salt dissolved in water.
What is salinity?
What measures the acidity of the ocean.
What is pH?
The process that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds.
What is photosynthesis?
This is what Marine organisms are mostly made of.
What is water?
The color of light that penetrates water the deepest.
What is blue light?
Temperature and salinity effect this.
What is density?
Ocean acidification reduces this chemical in water.
What is Carbonate?
Where carbon starts before it dissolves into the ocean.
Where is the atmosphere?
This makes up molecules and are chemically bonded.
What are atoms?
What happens to gasses as pressure increases.
What is compression?
These sinking particles provide nutrients for marine life.
What is marine snow?
Greater CO2 suppresses this for many animals.
What is the immune system?
Organisms that break down other organisms.
What are decomposers?
This is the attraction of one water molecule to another.
What is hydrogen bonding?
Where low-frequency sound waves can travel far.
Where is the Deep Sound Channel?
What accounts for about 85% of ions.
What is sodium/chloride?
Ocean acidification harms organisms with structures made of this.
What is calcium carbonate?
What is created by photosynthesis.
What is glucose?
What heat is measured in.
What are calories/joules?
The transmition of these are different in land and water.
What is light and sound?
The removal and addition of this changes the oceans salinity.
What is pure water?
Greater CO2 concentrations cause mortality in these marine organisms.
What are larvae?
What consumers, decomposers, and producers do to break down compounds.
What is respiration?
