There is much interdependence among the biogeochemical cycles on Earth. How is warmer ocean water involved in these cycles? A) Warmer air temperatures mean warmer ocean temperatures. This results in more precipitation and less atmospheric carbon dioxide. Reactivate B) As ocean temperatures increase, evaporation increases. Increased evaporation results in lower amounts of all atmospheric gases, including oxygen. Reactivate C) Warmer ocean temperatures would result in increased evaporation, which in turn would lower the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, thereby reducing global warming. D) Atmospheric carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, would cause rising ocean temperatures, which will cause an increase in evaporation. The added water vapor would further increase global warming.
