Well, I've never been shy about displaying my ignorance about things. Helps me learn something I didn't know before, I guess.
Anyway....
OK, so what is water? H2O, right? Two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. So if oxygen gets depleted from water, doesn't that just leave the H2 behind? Hydrogen is a gas. So why doesn't the area of zero oxygen atoms ,and ONLY hydrogen atoms, just float away into the atmosphere? And the hole left behind by the exiting hydrogen gas get filled in with proper water molecules?
And while I am at it, how in the world do you get a liquid by combining three atoms of two gaseous elements? If you combine nitrogen with oxygen what do you get? Well, another gas this time, like you would expect. Of course, if nitrogen and oxygen would combine easily and naturally in the atmosphere, I guess the world would be a much different place with everyone breathing nitrous oxide (laughing gas).
Anyway....
What are dead zones simple definition?
Dead zones are low-oxygen, or hypoxic, areas in the world's oceans and lakes. Because most organisms need oxygen to live, few organisms can survive in hypoxic conditions. That is why these areas are called dead zones.
