Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The correlation between ocean pH and atmospheric CO2 has to be identified from the given statements.

Concept introduction:

Ocean acidification: The increase in concentration of carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere leads to ocean acidification. The amount is increasing day by day and this increase will lead to higher concentrations of dissolved CO2 and as a result the amount of carbonic acid also will be higher.

The concentration of hydronium ion is a key factor for many biochemical reactions. So variation may affect the organisms in the oceans.
