My issue:
The process of ocean acidification is a complex and significant issue that has severe implications
for our planet. It occurs when carbon dioxide is absorbed by seawater, and this leads to a series
of reactions that ultimately cause a decrease in the concentration of carbonate ions in the ocean
(Murphy & Raisman, 2013). This reduction in carbonate ions makes it challenging for marine
organisms to form their shells and skeletons, which is a critical aspect of their survival.
Organisms such as corals, mollusks, and plankton are the foundation of the ocean's food chain,
and their inability to form their shells and skeletons has a ripple effect throughout the entire
marine ecosystem (Murphy & Raisman, 2013). This reduction in the population of these
organisms makes them more vulnerable to predation, and they cannot provide food for larger
organisms. Consequently, the entire
food chain is disrupted, and entire ecosystems can collapse,
leading to a catastrophic loss of biodiversity and affecting countless species that depend on the
oceans for survival.
The rise in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere due to human activities such as burning fossil
fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes is causing a significant issue - ocean acidification
(Murphy & Raisman, 2013). This phenomenon occurs when seawater absorbs carbon dioxide,
decreasing pH levels and making the ocean more acidic. The severity of this problem demands
immediate action. We must take measures to reduce carbon emissions, invest in renewable
energy sources, and promote sustainable practices to mitigate the effects of ocean acidification.
Failure to act now could have disastrous consequences for the health of our oceans and all the
marine life that depends on it.
My question:
3
As carbon dioxide continues to be absorbed from the atmosphere and the ocean becomes
increasingly acidic, the impact on marine wildlife and human communities who depend on the
ocean is a growing concern. What are the potential consequences for these vulnerable
populations?
My science resources:
1. My first source is titled "Dealing with Ocean Acidification: The Problem, the Clean Water Act,
and State and Regional Approaches."
In my quest to learn about ocean acidification and its environmental impact, I found an
academic journal titled "Dealing with Ocean Acidification: The Problem, the Clean Water Act,
and State and Regional Approaches." Authored by Robin Kundis Craig, a renowned
environmental law scholar, this source provides detailed insights into ocean protection and
pollution laws (Craig, 2016). What sets this source apart is its historical perspective on ocean
protection and the measures taken to conserve ocean waters. This academic source will help me
better understand how we can protect our oceans from the menace of acidification. While my
other sources focus on understanding the consequences of acidification and providing general
information about the problem, this source delves deeper into ocean protection's legal framework
and how we can tackle this issue through state and regional approaches.
2. My second source is titled "The other carbon-dioxide problem; Ocean acidification."
While researching, I stumbled upon a fascinating source that delves into ocean acidification and
its relationship with carbon dioxide. The source captured my attention by providing a
comprehensive and in-depth explanation of the chemical changes that occur in the ocean as it
becomes more acidic. It is an excellent read that covers a wide range of information, including
the various risks and consequences that marine creatures face due to ocean acidification (The

Rainwater is naturally acidic due to the formation of carbonic acid from dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2)(CO2). Atmospheric sulfur oxides, produced when coal is burned for fuel, can cause rainwater to become even more acidic. In some locations, pH values below 5 have been measured. Results of the increasing acidity include increased ocean acidification, slowed coral growth, and damage to marble statues.
Balance the equations related to the acidification of rain by inserting coefficients as needed. If the equation is already balanced, leave it as is.
