#OceanFact n. 3

Carbon dioxide and Oxygen in the ocean are extremely different from the atmosphere.

The reason is defined by Henry's law, which sees the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid depending on its pressure, temperature and salinity of the liquid. With the increase in pressure and the decrease in temperature and salinity, the solubility of a gas increases. The solubility also depends on the properties of the gas itself.

The inorganic cycle of CO2 in water is of extreme importance, as it regulates the carbonate cycle. Calcium carbonate is the main element that constitutes the shell of many small organisms of the zooplankton (if you like, the cycle is illustrated in the picture above).

The oxygen present in seawater is lower than in the atmosphere (approximately 6%), while CO2 is much higher, with values ​​of 0.04% in the air and 84% in the sea.

These data are essential for understanding the functioning of the marine ecosystem. In fact, erroneously from what is commonly thought, it is the phytoplankton present in the sea that produces the majority of the oxygen present. In fact, it is estimated that about 70% of oxygen is produced by phytoplankton. However, the percentage is highly variable, due to the difficulty of obtaining a single long-term data, as the quantities of phytoplankton and the consequent oxygen produced vary greatly throughout the year. Another fact of particular interest is that the oceans, thanks to the high solubilization capacity of CO2, have been able to store about 40% of the CO2 produced by man in the last 200 years.

Amazing Facts About Oceans

The sea, typically referred to as the sea or the globe sea, is a body of seawater that comprises 97% of the world's water and covers around 70.8% of its surface. Any of the large bodies of water that the globe ocean is generally separated into can additionally be referred to as a sea. There are five distinct names utilized to describe the ocean's 5 areas: the Pacific (biggest), Atlantic, Indian, Southern (Antarctic), and also Arctic (the tiniest). Around 361,000,000 km2 (139,000,000 sq mi) of the globe is covered with water. Since the ocean is the almost all of the hydrosphere, it is vital to life as we understand it. The sea affects environment and climate patterns, the carbon cycle, and also the water cycle by working as a significant warmth tank. Based upon physical as well as biological elements, oceanographers categorise the ocean into numerous vertical as well as straight zones. The water column outdoors sea, from the surface area to the sea flooring, is referred to as the pelagic area. Depending upon deepness and the quantity of light, the water column is additional divided right into a number of areas. In the open ocean, the photic zone expands from the surface area to a depth of 200 m, or 1% of the surface light, where photosynthesis can occur. Thus, the photic area has the best diversity of life. Using light, water, carbon dioxide, and also nutrients, plants as well as tiny algae (complimentary drifting phytoplankton) produce organic matter with photosynthesis. 50% of the oxygen in the earth's ambience is generated with ocean photosynthesis. The food supply that supports most of the sea ecosystem originates in this greater sunlight zone. Only a few hundred metres of the water are lit up; the remainder is freezing as well as dismal. With a deepness of a couple of hundred metres or less, the continental shelf is shallower where the sea comes close to dry land. The impact of human activity is greatest on the continental shelf. The quantity of solar radiation that gets to the ocean surface area influences sea temperature level. Surface temperatures in the tropics can go beyond 30 ° C (86 ° F). The equilibrium temperature level near the poles, where sea ice forms, is approximately 2 ° C (28 ° F). In all locations of the sea, the temperature level of deep salt water varieties from 2 ° C (28 ° F) to 5 ° C (41 ° F). Ocean currents are generated by the constant circulation of water in the seas. The forces acting upon the water, such as temperature level distinctions, climatic flow (wind), the Coriolis result, as well as differences in salinity, are what trigger these routed motions of seawater. Surface currents are caused by the wind and also waves, whereas trends are the resource of tidal currents. The Gulf Stream, Kuroshio Current, Agulhas Current, as well as Antarctic Circumpolar Current are all significant ocean currents. Enormous quantities of water and heat are jointly moved throughout the world by currents. By transporting these contaminants from the surface right into the deep sea, this flow has a substantial effect on the global climate in addition to the absorption and also redistribution of toxins like co2.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢 𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭!

Have you ever seen this plant washed up on a beach or underwater?

If you are from the Mediterranean region, most probably yes. But you might have thought it was an alga. Especially because not many people know that there are marine plants. They are called marine phanerogams or seagrasses and is possible to find them worldwide, with around 72 species recognised.

A curious fact about these plants is that they evolved back from land plants and not viceversa!

𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢 𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢 is an endemic species of the Mediterranean and is mostly disappeared, still living in a few small patches.

Posted by @ocean Video by©@johnnyvanuck Would you have remained this calm?😨💙 #OceanFact The north Pacific population of humpback whales makes long distance migrations. They range from winter breeding grounds in southern latitudes (Hawaii, Mexico, and Southern Asia) to northern feeding areas from California to Alaska and Russia where they spend the summer months. Humpbacks show great fidelity to their feeding areas and British Columbia is split into two separate regions. The southeast Alaska/northern British Columbia region is estimated to have a population of 3,000-5,000 whales, while the southern BC/Washington population is approximately 200-400 whales. There also appears to be a correlation between feeding and breeding grounds. The majority of humpback whales feeding in northern BC appear to be wintering in Hawaii. The southern BC whales have animals that have been re-sighted off mainland Mexico, as well as Hawaii. #RoamTheOceans

#Repost from the incredible conservationist... @barrelbag @download.ins --- The star of this week's #MarineLifeMonday, octopuses! Let's share some octopus facts: 1) The plural of octopus is octopuses, not octopi. 2) Octopuses have three hearts. Two of the hearts work exclusively to move blood beyond the animal’s gills, while the third keeps circulation flowing for the organs. 3) Octopus arms have a mind of their own. Two-thirds of an octopus’ neurons reside in its arms, not its head. As a result, the arms can problem solve how to open a shellfish while their owners are busy doing something else, like checking out a cave for more edible goodies. 4) Octopus ink doesn’t just hide the animal. The ink also physically harms enemies. 5) After mating, it’s game over for octopuses. Mating and parenthood are brief affairs for octopuses, who die shortly after. 6) Octopuses are really old. The oldest known octopus fossil belongs to an animal that lived some 296 million years ago, during the Carboniferous period 7) Octopuses have blue blood. To survive in the deep ocean, octopuses evolved a copper rather than iron-based blood called hemocyanin, which turns its blood blue. This copper base is more efficient at transporting oxygen than hemoglobin when the water temperature is very low and not much oxygen is around. #marinelifefacts #marineanimals #marinelife #oceanlife #echinoderms #oceanfacts #marineconservation #marinebiologyfacts #saveourseas #saveouoroceans #octopus #oceanconservation https://www.instagram.com/p/CKg2ZYNh6Q6/?igshid=1fbcosbeiy85d
