can someone help with these questions??


Oceans help:

keep worldwide temperatures constant

reduce atmospheric CO2

minimize rapid temperature fluctuations

all of the above



About 96% of sea water is made of:

nitrogen

carbon dioxide

sodium and chloride

hydrogen and oxygen




Salinity:

is expressed in parts per 1,000

refers to the amount of dissolved particles in sea water

is denoted by the symbol ‰

all of the above




About 330 million cubic miles of water cover the earth.

True

False

Verified Answer :

  1. all of the above
    2. hydrogen and oxygen
    3. not 100% shure but a seems most right
    4. true

Answer:

1) All the options are true, large masses of water help to regulate the temperature, control temperature fluctuations and reduce the atmospheric CO2-

2) The "common" water is made of H2O, this means that it is made of hydrogen and oxygen, so the right answer is the fourth option.

3) Salinity is expressed in (gr of salt)/(kg of water), so is expressed in parts per 1000, it refers to the amount of dissolved salt in water (not any particle, and not only in seawater, so the option 2 is wrong)

and is represented by the sign %, which means percent.

So the only correct option is the first one.

4) True, it's around 333 million cubic miles of water.
