Study Notes
Atmospheric Composition
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) makes up roughly 0.04% of the Earth's atmosphere.
- CO2 is vital for plant photosynthesis.
- Water vapor (H2O) content in the atmosphere varies based on location.
- Water vapor is crucial for weather and climate phenomena.
Deep-Sea Fish Adaptations
- Deep-sea fish possess strong and durable arteries and veins to handle the extreme pressure at great depths.
- Icefish produce antifreeze proteins in their blood to survive in frigid environments.
Light Penetration in Water
- The amount of sunlight penetrating water's surface depends on the angle of the sun's rays.
- Perpendicular sunlight allows more light to penetrate than tilted or inclined rays.
Liquid Pressure Properties
- Pressure at a point inside a liquid acts in all directions equally.
- 1 Bar is equivalent to 105 Pascal, which is equal to 105 N/m2.
