Discuss how global warming might make it harder for the wind/currents to mix the different ocean layers. Apply that knowledge to how global warming would affect marine life species, such as mollusks and limpets.
Please answer both parts. break down each idea and explain.
Explain how ocean acidification is likely to affect molluscs. Describe the long-term effects of this process on human economies.

- A zoologist is investigating an unidentified marine animal specimen. They note that this creature has radial symmetry along its short axis, but has bilateral symmetry in a perpendicular axial plane. In addition, its peripheral surface appears to have several lines of cilia used for movement in the water. Which phylum is most likely to contain this specimen? Group of answer choices A. Annelida B. Mollusca C. Cnidaria D. Ctenophoraarrow_forwardchoose the correct answer 1) What do the banded formations in marine sediments indicate? A. Early cyanobacteria probably were producing oxygen when the sediment was deposited. B. Purple sulfur bacteria were the dominant life form in the seas during that time. D. The pH value of the early seas was quite low due to the excretion of organic acids from the fermentation by prokaryotes. C. The early atmosphere was very reducing. 2) Which of the following is not evidence that chloroplasts and mitochondria originated as prokaryotic endosymbionts of larger cells? A. They contain circular DNA molecules not associated with proteins. B. Their membranes have enzymes and transport systems that resemble those found on the plasma membranes of prokaryotes. D.

- Imagine that humans have significantly reduced the amount of greenhouse gas emissions on Earth, but the planet is still warming due to past emissions. How might solar radiation management be implemented to rapidly cool the planet and prevent further impacts of climate change? a. aerosols can be removed from clouds to decrease the amount of cloud condensation nuclei b. sulfur dioxide can be injected into the stratosphere to decrease albedo c. sulfur dioxide can be injected into the atmosphere to increase albedo d. shipping can be regulated to reduce the cloud condensation nuclei of ship tracksarrow_forwardThe resource page discusses an increasing threat of nuisance flooding in North Carolina. To understand what nuisance flooding is, you have to have a basic understanding of tides. How are tides generated and propagated around ocean basins? Explain how the factors that control tides change over the course of one month and tie that back to the problems with nuisance flooding.
