Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is the primary cause of ocean acidification?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that the ocean is a large body of water that can absorb gases from the air.
Step 2: Recognize that carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas that comes from various sources, including cars, factories, and natural processes.
Step 3: Realize that when CO2 is released into the atmosphere, some of it gets absorbed by the ocean.
Step 4: Learn that when CO2 dissolves in ocean water, it forms carbonic acid, which makes the water more acidic.
Step 5: Conclude that the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere leads to more CO2 being absorbed by the ocean, causing ocean acidification.
