Remake of What's the connection between oceans and global climate? by Tayvon Ke https://padlet.com/lisle202/yc8zdyyv4q14 Research for Socratic discussion en-us 2018-04-24 15:53:27 UTC 2025-08-08 01:42:19 UTC hello@padlet.com Carbon Dioxide Sink tk18181 https://padlet.com/lisle202/yc8zdyyv4q14/wish/254900198 How do the oceans act as "sinks" for carbon dioxide?
-Carbon dioxide readily dissolves in water and the oceans provide a huge reservoir ofcarbon. Across the world's oceans there is a continual cycle of equilibration of dissolved carbon dioxide in water with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. ... Thecarbon dioxide which dissolves in our oceans occurs in three main forms.
If there were no oceans, where would the carbon dioxide go?
-Back into the atmosphere.

-cold dense saline water sinks at high latitudes. it pushes water deeper toward the lower parts of the ocean
If there were no oceans where would that thermal energy go?

-t the freezing temperature of pure water, molecules enter and leave the solid at the same rate. However, adding salt to the mixture disrupts this. Under normal conditions, water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. However, by adding salt, the water will cause the freezing point to become lower.

How do melting glaciers influence the oceans?
-the burning of fossil fuels are aiding in the melting of glaciers. greenhouse gases are collecting.

- They have risen and fallen continuously. Glaciers, ice sheets, and the temperature aid in the rising and falling of the sea level. 120 meters since the ice age.
What do scientists predict will happen to coastal areas around the globe in 50-100-500 years?
-the coastal regions will disappear as the ice and glaciers continue to melt. The could rise by 6 ft this century.
