I think it is because in the ocean the plankton produces most of the oxygen which is used by aquatic plants and plankton is a primary producer known as autotrops.

Answer:

Photosynthesis occurs in oceans due to presence of phytoplanktons in the surface water.

Explanation:

Phytoplanktons are the phototrophic organisms that are found in surface water of the oceans. These are very tiny organisms and are present in large number in ocean surface water.

The phytoplankton release oxygen during the process of photosynthesis. Presence of a large number of these organisms in oceans leads to the production of as much as half of the oxygen present in the atmosphere.

What two substances are we concerned about over-nourishing our water sources and ultimately leading to eutrophication?
expeople1 [14]

The correct answer is - nitrogen and phosphorus.

The nitrogen and the phosphorus are the two substances that cause most of the eutrophication. It is good for the organisms that live in the water when these two substances are available as they are very important nutrients, but if the optimal amount is surpassed than it can be devastating. When there's high quantities of nitrogen and phosphorus in the water it makes it much more rich in nutrients that it should be. That kind of situation is the best for the algae, which start growing all over the place, quickly covering the water and becoming the dominant life form. As that happens, the organisms that use photosynthesis will die out because the Sun will be blocked, and the algae  will also contribute to a big reduction of the oxygen in the water too. The end result being totally destroyed ecosystem that has been overtaken by algae.

Use of which of the following does not contribute carbon dioxide to the environment
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Choices 1, 2, and 3 all emit carbon dioxide, not enough to destroy the planet, but they still can cause it over a large amount of time, due to Carbon Dioxide being a greenhouse gas. Therefore, the answer is 4. Bicycles do NOT emit any carbon dioxide at all.

Why would you probably not see a volcano on the east coast of the United States?
DerKrebs [107]

D. There are no major fault lines or hot spots close by.

Why?

Because "They don’t occur anywhere else other than along the Ring of Fire" is incorrect, the Ring of Fire is just a place where many volcanoes are.

Because "The composition of the rock in that area is not conductive to eruptions." they type of rock doesn't play that much of a role in the formation of volcanoes

Because "The magma doesn’t have enough silica or gas to form an explosive eruption." It isn't a gass that is found, it is the build up of pressure from fultlines moving and things on the inside of the earth.
