Is change in atmospheric co2 levels likely to impact marine life

Chemistry

Murljashka [212]3 years ago
4 0

The addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere takes place due to human activities like the burning of fossil fuels. The oceans play an essential role in maintaining the carbon cycle of the Earth in balance. With the elevation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, more absorption of carbon dioxide takes place by the oceans.  

In the ocean, carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to produce carbonic acid, this ultimately leads to an increase in acidity of seawater, also known as ocean acidification.  

With the increase in acidity, it becomes tougher for corals to construct skeletons and for shellfish and other creatures to manufacture the shells they require for protection. The corals are mainly essential as they offer habitation to various sea creatures.

Answer:

El cocodrilo se arrastró durante 20.833 segundos.

Explanation:

El enunciado presenta omisiones y errores conceptuales. La forma correcta es la siguiente: <em>"Un cocodrilo se arrastró 25 metros hacia la derecha con una  rapidez promedio de 1.2 metros por segundo. ¿Cuántos segundos se arrastró el cocodrilo?"</em>

Consideremos que el cocodrilo tiene un movimiento rectilíneo uniforme, el tiempo requerido para el recorrido se calcula con la siguiente ecuación cinemática:

t = \frac{x}{v} (1)

Donde:

x - Distancia recorrida, en metros.

v - Rapidez del cocodrilo, en metros por segundo.

t - Tiempo, en segundos.

Si x = 25\,m y v = 1.2\,\frac{m}{s}, entonces el tiempo empleado por el cocodrilo es:

t = \frac{25\,m}{1.2\,\frac{m}{s} }

t = 20.833\,s

El cocodrilo se arrastró durante 20.833 segundos.

Explain the Anchoring Phenomenon (summary)
Virty [35]
An anchoring phenomenon anchors all of the learning within a unit. So, it is a unit level event that the classroom is trying to make sense of as they engage in a series of lessons.

Since the questions the students ask about the anchor drive the learning within the unit, the anchor should be complex and require an understanding of several big science ideas to explain.

At strategic moments, the class revisits the anchoring phenomenon to review their initial questions to see which they have answered, which they are making progress on, and what new questions they may have to help us continue learning about the phenomenon.

Throughout the unit, the classroom and each student should be given opportunities to share their thinking and how it relates to the anchoring phenomenon.

The emission spectrum of hydrogen shows discrete, bright, colored lines. Which characteristic of the Bohr model is best supporte
natali 33 [55]
The characteristic of the Bohr model that would best support his observation is this assumption: "The energy of the electron in an orbit is proportional to its distance from the nucleus. The further the electron is from the nucleus, the more energy it has." The discrete, bright, colored lines might represent the electrons and its distance from the nucleus. The lights are caused by the energy it has.
