What caused the composition of Earth’s early oceans to transition from dissolved carbon dioxide to dissolved oxygen?A.
Tema [17]

Hello.

The answer is: A.Ultraviolet rays from the Sun converted dissolved carbon dioxide to oxygen.

the more carbon dioxide that people pumped into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, the more the oceans would absorb. The ocean would continue to soak up more and more carbon dioxide until global warming heated the ocean enough to slow down ocean circulation.

Have a nice day
