Coastal Ocean!

Explanation: It’s important to remember that although the ocean produces at least 50 percent of the oxygen on Earth, roughly the same amount is consumed by marine life. Like animals on land, marine animals use oxygen to breathe, and both plants and animals use oxygen for cellular respiration. Oxygen is also consumed when dead plants and animals decay in the ocean.

This is particularly problematic when algal blooms die and the decomposition process uses oxygen faster than it can be replenished. This can create areas of extremely low oxygen concentrations, or hypoxia. These areas are often called dead zones, because the oxygen levels are too low to support most marine life.

NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science conducts extensive research and forecasting on algal blooms and hypoxia to lessen the harm done to the ocean ecosystem and human environment.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

➢ In a mercury thermometer, <u>a glass tube is filled with mercury</u> and a standard temperature scale is marked on the tube. With changes in temperature, the mercury expands and contracts, and the temperature can be read from the scale. Mercury thermometers can be used to determine body, liquid, and vapor temperature.

I need help and please explain
Ierofanga [76]

Breaking chemical bonds is typically an endothermic process, which means energy must be added (it must pull in energy)

Breaking of chemical bonds is always endothermic meaning it wants energy, so it takes energy from its surroundings and sucks it in. Think of 'endo' as inside. The chemical bonds want energy inside of it so it can break.

Forming of chemical bonds is exothermic, meaning it releases energy into its surroundings. Think of 'exo' as outside, or exterior, it releases its energy outside of itself.

I hope that makes some kind of sense :)
