Off Topic Science thread

You are probably right, it's hard to see how all that sulphur being pumped through the water could possibly make it more acidic.
Has to be the CO2 in the atmosphere causing it, after all Carbon and Oxygen are two of the most potent chemicals for making acid.

 

Hahahahaha, I suggest you go and educate yourself on the chemistry that the increase in CO2 production creates ocean acidification.

Of course underwater volcanoes and vents have the same effect, but in localised areas, it's not the primary cause in the increase in acidification.

No sources re: the supposed increase in underwater events causing the problem then?

 

I don't do links, go and look.

Chemistry is a very interesting subject

Oh, and ocean water moves constantly, you could look at that too

 

You don't do links......you don't do science either mate, that much is ****ing obvious.

 

But the oceans are a system, a loop.

The sulphur not only comes from ocean vents

And it doesn't remain in the oceans......otherwise we would be working towards saturation or have already reached that point due to the geological nature of earth and its age

No correlation there at all is there mate.....

It's all due to underwater volcanoes....#science

 

You need more untitled charts and MS paint trend lines

 

So sea water is actually getting less alkaline and moving into the neutral sphere as opposed to becoming acidic?

 

Ok

 

Neutral sphere?

Is that the one with Sharron Stone.....that was underwater?

 

Nope, it is the lower mid part of the PH table, 7.5 to 5, the range shown in that graph which I assume is correct (8+) shows the oceans as alkaline not acidic

 

If I said spectrum would it make it any clearer or just summon up visions of another film?

 

I loved manic miner on my Spectrum when I was younger...

 

Now we are levelling out

 

And what would you add to a swimming pool for example, in order to reduce it's alkalinity?

Wouldn't be acid would it?

 

So, is lowering the oceans alkaline level good or bad?

 

Whats your opinion?

Surely anything outside of the fine balance in my opinion is bad
