What creates oxygen in the oceans?

1 answer

Oxygen in the oceans is primarily produced through photosynthesis by marine phytoplankton, seaweed, and other aquatic plants. These organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. This process is essential for maintaining the oxygen levels in the oceans and supporting marine life.
