BlizzaP Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Hey I need a really quick answer to this question: Is there more or less oxygen in the air when near large bodies of water?
insane_alien Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 its more or less homogenous. there is little variation in ooxygen content through out the troposphere. volcanoes and other major anomalies do exist though.
BlizzaP Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 Yes but is that little variation a tiny bit lower or a tiny bit higher. Please I really need an answer.

7he3ngineer Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I havn't given this a great deal of thought, but here's a clue, consider the solubility of oxygen in water, and where this dissolved oxygen comes from. Perhaps check out: http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/oxygen-solubility-water-d_841.html You were trying to rush us... but you did say please! Josh
John Cuthber Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 The annoyoing answer is probably "it depends". If there is a lot of plant life in the water then the area will have more oxygen. If the water is stagnant and dead then there will be less. It's possible that some bodies of water will change depending on whether the sun is shining.
