Question

The ____________ causes ocean acidification.

  1. CO2 dissolved in ocean water
  2. Sunscreen in the water
  3. Oceanic pollution
  4. Warm water

hintHint:

Ocean acidification refers to a reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period of time, caused by primarily by uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The correct answer is: CO2 dissolved in ocean water


    The CO2 dissolved in the ocean water causes ocean acidification.
    Water and carbon dioxide combine to form carbonic acid, a weak acid that breaks into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions because of human-driven increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, there is more CO2 dissolving into the ocean
