How is the acidification of the oceans
caused by our adding massive volumes of
CO2 into the atomosphere each year?
1. What causes ocean warming and acidification?
It is caused mainly by carbon dioxide and many marine organisms that produce carbonate
shells
2. Why are human activities that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere causing
concern?
Type answer here.
3. How does the water chemistry charlge as carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the
ocean?
Type answer here.
4. What will happen if man continues to release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Type answer here.
5. What are two economic risks of ocean acidification?
Type answer here.
6. According to the author, what two things will ocean scientists in the future need to
understand?
Type answer here.
11) After feeding at the surface of the ocean during the day, many ocean organisms migrate to deeper waters. While there, they release ammonia in their urine. Many bacteria use the nitrogen from the ammonia as they make amino acids, which eventually end up in food chains on both land and water. These amino acids may even be used in humans. Which statement best explains these observations?

Group of answer choices It decreases the pressure on aquatic organisms living at great depths It causes ice to float, insulating the water below and protecting aquatic life from extreme cold It allows nutrients to become more concentrated in liquid water It increases the oxygen content in the water The expanding ice pushes phytoplankton lower into the water column, making it more easily accessible to those who survive on itarrow_forward

Choose two answers that apply. A) eutrophication of the ocean leads to an increase in dissolved oxygen. B) photosynthesis by the phytoplankton increase the oxygen concentration of the ocean. C) decomposition of dead organic matter decreases the oxygen concentration in the ocean. D) cellular respiration by primary consumers increases the oxygen concentration in the ocean E) anaerobic respiration at the ocean floor decreases the carbon dioxide levels in the oceanarrow_forward
