Summary Introduction

To explain: Ocean acidification is caused due to increasing amount of carbon dioxide dissolving in oceans.

Introduction:

Over the past few decades, human activities with the environment have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This mainly includes deforestation and burning of fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal. Due to increased carbon dioxide, heat is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere. This causes global warming, which is a major reason for climate change. It is a long-term change.

Summary Introduction
