(PLS HELP DUE IN 5 MINS!) The pteropoda, or “sea butterfly”, is a tiny sea creature about the size of a small pea. Pteropoda are

eaten by organisms ranging in size from tiny krill to whales. They are a major food source for the North Pacific juvenile. Their shells are made up of calcium carbonate. The photo provided is the shell of a pteropoda. The shell can dissolve within a 45 day period. What can one infer about what is causing the shell of the pteropoda to disappear while in a marine environment?
a) Carbon monoxide (CO) is being released by natural systems. Oceans are absorbing this excess of CO and the pH within the oceans is increasing.

b) Methane (CH4 is being released too quickly from burning of fossil fuels. Oceans are lowering their pH and ocean acidification occurs.

c) Natural sources are releasing an excess of CO2 to the oceans. The marine photosynthetic organisms are emitting too much oxygen. This is return is causing ocean acidification.

d) The excess of CO2 emitted from anthropogenic sources is being absorbed by the oceans from the atmosphere. This results in more hydrogen ions in the ocean, which increases acidification.

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

D)

Explanation:

If the explosion doesn't alter the Earth's rotation, the lack of moon would cause the Earth to rotate at a constant speed. This means that every day would be 24 hours long for the rest of the Earth's existence. The Earth's tides would also change because the gravity the moon exerts on the oceans would no longer exist.

How does wet and dry barometer work?? Thnx
tatiyna

Wet barometer - The tool works by measuring atmospheric pressure to predict incoming weather. Since the glass is only filled halfway with water, the other half is exposed to the atmosphere. When the outdoor atmospheric pressure rises, the pressure in the glass decreases, and causes the water to move down the spout.

Dry barometer - A Torricellian barometer (sometimes called a mercury barometer) is an inverted (upside-down) glass tube standing in a bath of mercury. Air pressure pushes down on the surface of the mercury, making some rise up the tube. The greater the air pressure, the higher the mercury rises.

I hope this helps!
