Which of these statements describes the cause of ocean acidification mentioned in the video?

Which of these statements describes the cause of ocean acidification mentioned in the video?

Group of answer choices

 

The increase in wealth generated by industrialists and entrepreneurs since the Industrial Revolution caused the increase in carbon dioxide production.

 

The increased pollution of plastics in the ocean since the mass production of plastic containers, wrappers, and bags tangle up ocean wildlife.

 

The increase production of CO2 from industrial sources since the Industrial Revolution raises the atmospheric content of CO2 which allows more CO2 to dissolve into ocean water.

 

The production of CO2 by increases in marine animals adds to the rising acidification of the oceans.

 

CO2 emitted from forest fires adds to atmospheric CO2 content.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What are the two major detrimental results of ocean acidification as related to the carbonic acid buffer system? Mark all that apply.

Group of answer choices

Atmospheric carbon dioxide increases.

 

Fewer carbonate ions in the water settled into the deep ocean floor and take carbon out of the surface water carbon cycle.

 

The shells of carboniferous animals become weak as the water contains fewer carbonates that they can use to form their shells.

 

CO2 settles ouf of the water column and becomes unavailable for the photosynthetic microorganisms.

 

Tiny unicellular algae overgrow because of additional CO2 gives them more nutrients.
