Question

select all that apply
choose the three major sources of carbon dioxide in the oceans.
□ respiration of marine organisms
□ oxidation of organic matter
□ transfer from the atmosphere
□ emission from black smokers
□ weathering of basalt oceanic crust

Explanation:

Marine organisms respire and release carbon - dioxide. Oxidation of organic matter in the ocean also produces carbon - dioxide. The ocean exchanges gases with the atmosphere and carbon - dioxide can transfer from the atmosphere to the ocean. Black smokers mainly release other minerals and gases like hydrogen sulfide, and the weathering of basalt oceanic crust is not a major source of oceanic carbon - dioxide.

Answer:

Respiration of marine organisms, Oxidation of organic matter, Transfer from the atmosphere
