Question

question 7 (1 point)
the calcite compensation depth (ccd) is the depth in the ocean where ____ equals ______.
lysocline; thermocline
acidity; dissolution potential
carbonate saturation; carbonate undersaturation
temperature; the dissolution point
carbonate dissolution; carbonate supply

Explanation:

The Calcite Compensation Depth (CCD) is the depth in the ocean where the rate of carbonate dissolution equals the rate of carbonate supply. Above the CCD, carbonate - rich sediments can accumulate, while below it, carbonates dissolve faster than they are supplied.

Answer:

Carbonate dissolution; carbonate supply
