What is the effect of increased carbon dioxide on the ocean? Explain the chemistry (how the carbon dioxide changes the pH) and the effects on living organisms. You may want to re-watch the Exploratorium video (link on Canvas March 23) for the chemistry information, and the Coral Reef Gizmo allowed you to see the effects of the pH change on the coral reef. Please answer quickly. Thank You

In the ocean, carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to form carbonic acid, and this results in the ocean pH to drop (becoming acid). When carbon dioxide increases there will be an increase in carbonic acid, thus a huge drop in the pH level causing the water to be more acidic, resulting in the phenomenon called ocean acidification. Ocean acidification result in the oceans' animals inability to form shells and skeletons .

Explanation:

Ocean acidification causes a disruption the oceans' ecosystem,for corals and shelled-marine animals, acidifaction of their shells and skeletons ,make them vulnerable to harsh weathers (storms), and they make not fully recover. This phenomenon may also affect the reproduction and development of other marine animals.

Ocean acidification also have an effect on humans. We get our food from the ocean, and ocean acidification means a decrease in food supply. Due to the death of corals, the tourism sector will also be affected.

foliated

[ explanation ]

foliation forms in a rock when pressure squeezes the rock together. the rock then has a design of many different color little lines. there are three types of foliated rock. the types are slate, schist, and gneiss. each type of foliated rock is different based on grain size and foliation characteristics. the lines appear when the rock has been under pressure.
