The illustration below represents the global conveyor belt, which is a collection of ocean currents that cycle water around the

oceans.
What does the global conveyor belt reveal about the connectivity of water in the oceans? How could a change in the path of the global conveyor belt impact the biodiversity of ocean ecosystems?

Answer: Global oceanic conveyor belt refers to the continuous motion of the water in the ocean due to the variation of temperature and salinity condition. The hot less dense saline water gets heated up in the equatorial region and travels towards a higher latitude i.e to the poles. This water when reaches higher latitudes, gets mixed up with the polar water becoming more denser saline water and gets sink below the ocean and travels back towards the south of the equator. During this process the water loses its heat into the atmosphere. This constant motion of water in both the hemisphere is overall known as the global oceanic conveyor Belt.

             Due to the existence of Coriolis force and the rotation of earth from eastern to the western side, the ocean currents moves in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere.

             The path of this ocean current movement is directly related to the biodiversity of the ecosystem in ocean. Change in its path would lead to a different pressure, temperature scenerio, which could be catastrophic in nature. It will affect the lives existing in ocean and because of higher salinity some species might not be able to adopt that environment.

What happens to the phosphates when plants and animals die?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

When plants and animals die, organic molecules also undergoes decomposition and this causes the incorporated phosphates to go back to the soil or bodies of water.

Explanation:

Phosphates are naturally related to <u>"phosphorus."</u> <em>They play a vital role in the life of animals and plants. </em>Phosphorus can be commonly be found on the earth's land and water (although the land has a smaller amount of it). <u>Plants naturally absorb phosphate from where they're growing. Animals take up phosphates by eating plants.</u> The phosphate that plants get from the soil are considered inorganic. They only become organic when it is incorporated into the plants DNA (since this is an organic molecule).

So, this means that if there's a sufficient amount of phosphate, there will be more plants on earth as it is also important in the process of acquiring nutrients.

When animals and plants die, all of the organic molecules such as phosphate also breaks down and thus, it falls back to the soil or bodies of water. Then, they are ready to enter another Phosphorus cycle.
