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. Normal d. o. is greater than or equal to 6mg/l. Low d. o. is less than 2mg/l: hypoxic water. 0mg/l is anoxic: high at the surface because . Mixing at the surface because of the wind (air-surface interface), least seasonal variation.
