No one would ever think that bubbles are that important or that they do anything really. But bubbles in the ocean can cause clouds to form and affect the climate. Bubbles carry carbon dioxide and oxygen from the atmosphere down into the ocean and then when they come back up, they pop and sulfur compounds from marine plans are sent upward, forming particles that form clouds. Bubbles also ring like bells when they are formed or when sound waves go past them. So if you’re studying sounds traveling in the ocean, bubbles can get in the way of what you’re trying to hear. Bubbles also scatter light strongly in the oceans and make things cloudy. So, it is essential that you understand bubbles if you’re studying light in the ocean. To read more, click here.
Who knew bubbles had a big part in all of these things? They aren’t just there for entertainment. They have an important role in our climate, in sound, and in light. Think about that next time you’re swimming in the ocean and see bubbles.
