Ocean acidification background
Transcript: Ocean Acidification Background How do organisms on earth produce Co2? How do organisms on earth produce Co2? By burning fossil fuels Humans burn many fossil fuels on a daily basis which come from gas,oil and coal The burning of these fossil feuls are responsible for 87% of human Co2 emissions Burning of fossil fuels realese energy but Co2 also gets produced as a byproduct. By burning fossil fuels How has the amount of Co2 increased over the last ... How has the amount of Co2 increased over the last 20 years? The amount of Co2 in the atmosphere has drastical... The amount of Co2 in the atmosphere has drastically increased over the past 20 years which has caused the oceans acidity level to rise as well.This has caused many changes in the atmosphere as in how much Carbon certain things can take in and give off. How and why does Co2 get absorbed into the ocean? How and why does Co2 get absorbed into the ocean? Carbon is stored in the ocean as a part of the carbon cycle th... Carbon is stored in the ocean as a part of the carbon cycle this happens because all of the Co2 that organisms are giving off has to be stored somewhere and unfortunetly because there has been an increase in Co2 emissions the ocean has to intake some of the Co2. What changes do the oceans undergo because th... What changes do the oceans undergo because they absorb excess amounts of Co2? One of the most drastic changes that the oceans has to ... One of the most drastic changes that the oceans has to go through is the raising of it's acidity level which sends a threat to the fish and other animals in the ocean.This puts the dynamic equilibrium off balance because there is too much Co2 coming in to the ocean and not enough being released.The increase of Co2 in the ocean has been known to cause higher water temperatures. What effect does Co2 in our oceans have on PH? What effect does Co2 in our oceans have on PH? Ph is the measure of the hydrogen i... Ph is the measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution which consist of acids(0-7) and bases(7-14). The oceans ph is averaging 8.2 ph units According to national geographic the oceans take in about 1/3 of human created Co2 emissions which is about 22 million tons each day. If these emissions continue at the rate they are going the oceans ph could be reduced by 0.5 units. Many fish can be put in danger because of the unusual level of ocean acidity. If the ocean coninues to absorb this much Co2 it's capacity will soon diminish. What is the carbon cycle? What is the carbon cycle? The carbon cycle is the circulation of co2 between living organisms The carbon cycle is related to the additional Co2 in the atmosphere because there are certain organisms that grow and decompose quickly and give of lots of Co2. A lot of the carbon that is on earth goes through the carbon cycle very quickly. The carbon cycle is the circulation of co2 betwe... How does the addition of Co2 disrupt the ocean's equilibrium? How does the addition of Co2 disrupt the ocean... When the ocean has to store more Co2 it takes more time to reach equilibrium. It usually takes a long time for the ocean to cycle carbon back into the atmosphere Le Châtelier's principle is working because because the Co2 is being exchanged and trying to maintain balance. When the ocean has to store more Co2 it tak... “Main sources of carbon dioxide emissions.” What's Your Impact, 8 July 2017, whatsyourimpact.org/greenhouse-gases/carbon-dioxide-emissions. “Climate Science Glossary.” Skeptical Science, www.skepticalscience.com/The-CO2-Temperature-correlation-over-the-20th-Century.html.
