What is the source of oxygen in the epipelagic zone? photosynthesis and diffusion from deeper ocean zones photosynthesis and diffusion from the air respiration and diffusion from deeper ocean zones respiration and diffusion from the air

The correct answer is (B) Photosynthesis and diffusion from the air

Dissolved oxygen enters the water from photosynthesis and through air. The The aeration of water can be caused by wind. From the air oxygen diffuse into the water and gets mixed in the it through circulation. The oxygen is also produced as a waste product of photosynthesis from blue-green algae, phytoplankton, etc which is added in water.

coal is not sustainable because it will one day run out.

estuaries are the partially enclosed coastal bodies of brackish water formed at the mouth of sea where river meets an ocean. it is a transition zone between river and sea water so estuaries are influenced to both marine environment such as tides, waves and to riverine such as flow of fresh water and sediments. the mixing of sea and fresh water provide high level of nutrients, making estuaries a high product habitats.

many estuaries suffers degradation from a variety of human activities like erosion from deforestation, overgrazing, overfishing, drainage and eutrophication.

so from the above statement answers will be

1. false as estuaries are formed due to both brackish and freshwater.

2.true, due to high productivity estuaries are breeding ground for many marine species.

3. direct and indirect activities of man that contribute to pollution and deposition of sediments.
