How has the Arctic Ocean changed over time due to ocean acidification?
the ocean has changed so in places it is warmer and other places it is colder than before. this is due to global warming.
How are oyster larvae affected by ocean acidification?
Oyster larvae are highly vulnerable to ocean acidification. The increased acidity of the water makes it harder for larvae to build their shells as it reduces the availability of calcium carbonate, a key building block. This can lead to slower growth and weakened shells, making the larvae more susceptible to predation and other stresses. Overall, ocean acidification poses a significant threat to oyster populations and the ecosystems they support.
Which part of the ocean has been most affected by ocean acidification and How and why?
If you want "a place" for the impact of CO2 acidification to cause a problem it would be the coral reefs. If you want other areas you would have to look at the impact on the shells of clams and oysters, the gills of fish and the impact on fish eggs. In all the case around corals and shells it is due to the decreased permanence and availability of Calcium carbonate extraction for structure. Fir the fish impacts it is due to the required pH balance for healthy conditions. All the problems result from additional CO2 dissolving in the water from the atmosphere and the warmer ocean waters from GHG climate change changing chemical activity in the water.
What is acidification?
Acidification is the process of being converted into an acid of or becoming acid. The process by which water bodies, such as rivers and lakes, and other natural features become affected by excess acid can also be described as acidification.
What are the problem associated with acid rain?
acidification of soilleaching of ions into lakes kill fishroot hairs less effective at absorbing minerals so plant growth is slowedcause damage to stonework by reacting with carbonates and other ions in the stone
What other kinds of ocean fish start with a k?
thre is a typ of ocean fish called a koi
What is the main reason that the oceans are becoming more acidic?
Ocean acidification is caused from the ocean being forced to absorb vast amounts of fossil fuels and carbon. The carbon that is absorbed in turn causes the waters pH to go down, thus making it more acidic.Dissolving CO2 in seawater increases the concentration in the ocean, and thus decreases ocean pH.When CO2 dissolves, it reacts with water to form a balance of ihttp://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Ion and non-ionic chemical species: dissolved free carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, carbonate and bicarbonate.
Is a tornado called a funnel cloud in the ocean?
No. A tornado on the ocean or some other body of water is called a waterspout. A funnel cloud is a tornado that has not yet touched down.
Which ocean iss known as the Herring Pond?
Atlantic Ocean is also called as Herring Pond
What are the other numbers in a division problem called?
The three terms of a division problem is dividend, divisor, and quotient.
As the ocean floor spreads other parts plunge into the mantle What is this process called?
subduction
IF the ocean floor spreads other parts plunge into mantle this process is called?
Subduction .
