During the spring and summer months, deep ocean water rich in carbon dioxide periodically wells up along the California coast when surface waters are pushed offshore by strong winds.

Sardines thrived here, feeding on the rich blooms of plankton fertilized by nutrients carried along by rising deep ocean waters.

Most of the deposits, some small and some large, are buried in or below permafrost and sediments in the ocean bottom along continental margins — where shallow offshore waters slope down toward the deeper ocean floor.

The waves that run along shallow continental shelves are much larger than those over the deep ocean, and so the force applied by the standing waves is also larger in shallow water.

For a long time people thought that ocean pH was regulated ultimately by reactions between deep seawater and sediments, but as Walt Allensworth February 5, 2015 at 3:08 pm, says there are so many black, and clear, vents along the midocean ridges spewing acidic water, that these probably maintain ocean pH instead.

Since ocean water can't travel on the time - scales predicated by the models the scientists conceived to record these measurements (less than 10 - 20 years), they think that energy is transferred instead along a deep pressure wave.

Being denser than warm water it then sank and flowed out along the bottom of the ocean in deep ocean currents, eventually filling the depths of the ocean basins around the world.
