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?

its more or less homogenous. there is little variation in ooxygen content through out the troposphere.

 

volcanoes and other major anomalies do exist though.

Yes but is that little variation a tiny bit lower or a tiny bit higher.

 

Please I really need an answer.

BlizzaP - If someone knows the answer to your question, the will post it. It's Sunday, so fewer people login and view the messages than during the week. Good luck to you.

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:

You were trying to rush us... but you did say please!

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.
