I don't recall much about my college level chemistry classes, but I do recall a "by the way" section of one textbook that was about a lake that suddenly released all of it's stored carbondioxide amd may have caused (or not, but bc it stuck with me I am inclined to think ot did) some deaths in a nearby village. And there is a part of me wondering how much CO2 the oceans are ready to dump on us as waters warm and are no longer able to hold the currently disolved amounts...

@rastinza it was just a paragraph linkung the subject of partial pressure to life. I don't recall it even giving a name to the phenominon, but it was just a curiousity I read over a decade ago. The phenominon appears to be limnic eruption. And perhaps since the water needs to be near the saturation point, it may not be a possibility for an ocean, or part of it, to do such a thing. :blobShrug:​
