10 Interesting Fact About The impact of ocean acidification on marine life

Transcript:

Languages:

• Ocean Acid is a condition in which Ocean becomes more acidic due to the addition of carbon dioxide concentrations in sea water.
• Changes in marine chemistry due to acid ocean can cause changes in chemical and biochemical compositions in marine ecosystems.
• Acid Ocean reduces the availability of calcium and carbonate, which adversely affects marine organisms, including shellfish, fish, and other marine animals.
• Ocean Acid can also reduce the pH of sea water, which has a negative impact on marine organisms that require a stable pH condition to multiply.
• Ocean Acid can cause a decrease in the population of marine organisms, because they cannot survive in a constant acid condition.
• Ocean acid can also reduce plankton production, which is a main food source for many types of fish.
• Ocean Acid can also cause coral damage, because high carbon dioxide concentrations can cause damage to the coral structure.
• Ocean Acid can also increase the concentration of heavy metals in sea water, which has a negative impact on marine organisms.
• Ocean Acid can cause changes in the amount and type of marine organisms, because some organisms are more tolerant of acid conditions.
• Ocean Acid can cause damage to marine ecosystems, because chemical changes in sea water can cause various problems for marine organisms.
