OCEAN 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Industrial Revolution
Document Summary
What are the similarities and differences between oa and global warming: both are cause by the anthropogenic in uence of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, that is then highly soluble in the ocean. Co2 causes the greenhouse effect from solar radiation (radiation is absorbed or bounced off of particles). Increases the temperature because the particles trap the heat in the atmosphere: anthropogenic in uenced additions to co2. Industrial revolution: electric industry, manufacturing plants, gasoline demand, plastics. Be speci c about what types of organisms: co2 is highly soluble in water, co2 combines with water to become hco- 3 + h: increased co2 creates a higher acidity, hydrogen and calcium combine, disabling the production of calcium carbonate for marine animal"s shells.
