Sentences with phrase «oceanic water into»

The country thus influences the flow of the major water masses and results in shelf - edge currents and oceanic eddies that interact with coastal waters over the shelf, bringing oceanic water into the coastal zone.

To understand how water affects subduction of the oceanic plate, in which layers of different rock types sink into the mantle, the UO team studied hydrogen isotopes in water contained in tiny blobs of glass trapped in olivine crystals in basalt.

Note that Ekman pumping does not penetrate deep into the oceanic interior, but since the trades advect the surface waters westward, the upper layer of warm sea water is deeper in the west than in the east.

Note that Ekman pumping does not penetrate deep into the oceanic interior, but since the trades advect the surface waters westward, the upper layer of warm sea water is deeper in the west than in the east.

Since, if I remember correctly, subduction generally occurs when a dense oceanic plate dives under a less dense continental plate, you'd have to get the waste to the seafloor and then bury it there in such a way that it wouldn't leak into the water before it sank deep enough into the Earth to be safely forgotten about.

This is what happens in our model events pictured above: during cold phases in Greenland, oceanic convection only occurs in latitudes well south of Greenland, but during a DO event convection shifts into the Greenland - Norwegian seas and warm and saline Atlantic waters push northward.

Thus, if the absorption of the infrared emission from atmospheric greenhouse gases reduces the gradient through the skin layer, the flow of heat from the ocean beneath will be reduced, leaving more of the heat introduced into the bulk of the upper oceanic layer by the absorption of sunlight to remain there to increase water temperature.

The other point about volcanic emissions: the majority of the activity is in the oceanic spreading zones, which release carbon into the water, but because it is absorbed by the water, the gas isn't released for some time, sometimes up to 1000 years.

«Water, absorbed into the oceanic crust as hydrous minerals, follows the plate into the mantle.

(f) In evaluating the above consequences of the doubling of the CO2, one has to consider the dissolution of CO2 in oceanic water and also that, together with carbon, a part of atmospheric oxygen is also transferred into carbonates.

The oceans would then become a realm of bacteria metabolizing sulfates, and producing hydrogen sulfide, which would then get released into the water and the atmosphere, killing oceanic plants and terrestrial life.

If the water is moving around quickly, then there is no «fat - tail» for the «equilibrium» of atmospheric CO2 into the depths, suggesting that the 14C atmospheric disappearance rate is near the true oceanic «sink» rate.

Because of the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the oceanic «conveyor belt» that sends warmer waters into the North Atlantic could abruptly shut down.

Upwelling of deep oceanic waters along continental margins release large concentrations of CO2, as the rising water warms and CO2 stability in water diminishes releasing the gas back into the atmosphere.
