A. with respect to controlling atmospheric carbon dioxide, the \"solubility pump\" is most important:
-in the deep ocean
-in the surface ocean
-at hydrothermal vents
-at the oxygen minimum
B. nonconservative constituents of seawater are:
- often tied to biological cycles or are chemically reactive
-distributed evenly everywhere in the ocean
-tend to have long residence times in the ocean
-have very low Flux rates associated with inputs and outputs
-very abundant in seawater
C. increases in acidity in the ocean can result in
- precipitation of calcium carbonate
-the dissolution of carbonate minerals or carbonate skeletons of organisms
-production of oxygen through carbonation
-increases in pH
-an increase in salinity
Solution
A. The answer is: in the deep ocean.
With respect to controlling atmospheric carbon dioxide, the \"solubility pump\" is most important in the deep ocean.
B. The answer is: often tied to biological cycles or are chemically reactive.
Nonconservative constituents of seawater are often tied to biological cycles or are chemically reactive.
C. The answer is: the dissolution of carbonate minerals or carbonate skeletons of organisms.
Increases in acidity in the ocean can result in the dissolution of carbonate minerals or carbonate skeletons of organisms.
