In mid-ocean ridge areas, ocean water is cycled through the crust because of the high heat flow in the area. Water in the rock is heated over the magmas, rising up and drawing in cold water from the sides. This process is occurring all over the world, and is the primary means for maintaining ocean salinity in a relatively constant range over the long term, as elements in the sea water when it is heated react with the rocks. There is so much water flow, cumulatively over the entire world, that this process basically buffers ocean chemistry.

Obviously large increases or decreases in salinity can and do occur in isolated basins that do not have free exchange with the open oceans.

What is blood vessel in humans body?​
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Blood vessel, a vessel in the human or animal body in which blood circulates. The vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called arteries, and their very small branches are arterioles. Very small branches that collect the blood from the various organs and parts are called venules, and they unite to form veins, which return the blood to the heart. Capillaries are minute thin-walled vessels that connect the arterioles and venules; it is through the capillaries that nutrients and wastes are exchanged between the blood and body tissues.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
<span>Well this isn't actually a question but to market to a company like this you first have to impress a small number of people in a single chain of command. Your products don't have to be marketed to a company as a whole or to a single rung of the food chain but to each successive member in a hierarchy in the company. Firstly to the employee, then to their management then to the ones who actually making the decision to buy.</span>

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Algal blooms occur when algae multiply very quickly. Blooms can form in waters that are rich in the nutrients the algae need to grow, such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and iron. ... Blooms may become more frequent as the earth warms and the levels of nutrients in our waters increase.
