Solubility is the ability of something to be dissolved and go into solution. 2. Saturation value is the amount of a substance that can be dissolved in water at an existing temperature, salinity, and pressure.

Solubility is the ability of something to be dissolved and go into solution. 2. Saturation value is the amount of a substance that can be dissolved in water at an existing temperature, salinity, and pressure. a. Water is undersaturated when under existing conditions it has the capacity to dissolve more gas. Gas content is below the saturation value.

Water is saturated when under existing conditions it contains as much dissolved gas as it can hold in equilibrium. Gas content is at saturation value. c. Water is supersaturated when under existing conditions it contains more dissolved gas than it can hold in equilibrium. Gas content is above saturation value and excess gas will come out of solution.

Gases in Seawater 3. The surface layer is usually saturated in atmospheric gases because of direct exchange with the atmosphere.

Gases in Seawater 3. The surface layer is usually saturated in atmospheric gases because of direct exchange with the atmosphere. 4. Below the surface layer, gas content reflects relative importance of respiration, photosynthesis, decay, and gases released from volcanic vents.

Gases in Seawater Photosynthesis Underwater Volcanoes Decay Respiration

Oxygen in Seawater Oxygen tends to be abundant in the surface layer and deep layer bottom, but lowest in the pycnocline. 1. Surface layer is rich in oxygen because of photosynthesis and contact with the atmosphere.

Oxygen in Seawater 2. Oxygen minimum layer occurs at about 150 to 1500m below the surface and coincides with the pycnocline. a. Sinking food particles settle into this layer and become suspended in place because of the greater density of the water below.

Oxygen in Seawater 2. Oxygen minimum layer occurs at about 150 to 1500m below the surface and coincides with the pycnocline. a. Sinking food particles settle into this layer and become suspended in place because of the greater density of the water below. b. The food draws large numbers of organisms which respire, consuming oxygen.

Oxygen in Seawater 2. Oxygen minimum layer occurs at about 150 to 1500m below the surface and coincides with the pycnocline. a. Sinking food particles settle into this layer and become suspended in place because of the greater density of the water below. b. The food draws large numbers of organisms which respire, consuming oxygen. c. Decay of uneaten material consumes additional oxygen. d. Density difference prevents mixing downward of oxygen-rich water from the surface or upwards from the deep layer.

Oxygen in Seawater 3. The deep layer is rich in oxygen because its water is derived from the cold surface waters which sank (convect) to the bottom. Consumption is low because there are fewer organisms and less decay consuming oxygen.

Oxygen in Seawater 4. Anoxic waters contain no oxygen and are inhabited by anaerobic organisms (bacteria).

Quiz Review - STUDY! Using your book (or notes), answer the following to prepare for your quiz (I will come around and check this!): What is solubility? What is saturation value? Define unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated. What is the oxygen minimum layer and where is it found? What causes it (describe entire process)? What is anoxic water and what can live there? Describe how atmospheric gases interact with sea water. What affects dissolved gases below the surface level?
