How Is Ocean Acidification Possibly Linked to Increased Anthropogenic Emissions

question 117

Multiple Choice

How is ocean acidification possibly linked to increased anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) ?

• A) Oceans may absorb up to 50% of rising concentrations of rising carbon. When dissolved CO₂ mixes with saltwater, carbonic acid forms (H₂CO₃).
• B) Atmospheric CO₂ combines with atmospheric moisture forming a light carbonic acid forms (H₂CO₃), that is precipitated over the world's oceans.
• C) Increased photosynthetic activity in phytoplankton resulting from increased atmospheric CO₂ concentrations results in acidification due to a complex chemical reaction during plant decay.
• D) Thermohaline circulation exchanges carbon between surface dissolved organic carbon and deep layers of dissolved inorganic carbon.
