Why is the deep pacific ocean more acidic than the deep Atlantic ocean?

Naturally, seawater in the North Pacific Ocean is more acidic (lower in pH) than in the North Atlantic Ocean. This is related to the circulation, Biology and chemistry in the ocean, which involve complicated processes that oceanographers have been studying for decades. The results of these processes are that seawater in the North Pacific in general has lower pH, but higher TCO2 concentrations than that of the North Atlantic at similar latitude. source: WHOI Chemist Aleck Wang at http://funwithkrill.blogspot.com/2012/09/seawater-chemistry-north-atlantic-vs.html]

Which is the largest Atlantic Ocean Or the Pacific Ocean?
The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world at 155,557,000 sq km. Its deepest point is the Mariana Trench (Challenger Deep) at 11,033 metres. The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest ocean in the world at 76,762,000 sq km. Its deepest point is the Puerto Rico Trench (Milwaukee Deep) at 8,648 metres.
Why is the pacific ocean slowly getting smaller?
The reason the Pacific Ocean is shrinking is because of the deep water trenches there, while the Atlantic ocean is getting bigger. In about 500 million years the Pacific will not be there and the Atlantic will be overflowing.
What ocean is famed for its deep?
The Pacific Ocean has the deepest point in the Challanger Deep.
If the Atlantic ocean is the second deepest ocean what is the deepest ocean?
No, The Pacific Ocean has the deepest trenches.no. the deepest ocean is the pacific. it's deepest point is the mariana trench which is nearly 11 km deep. the pacific is also the largest ocean covering nearly a third of the earths surface
Is the Pacific Ocean getting smaller?
yes because the Atlantic ocean is growing and pushing the Atlantic ocean aside
In which ocean are most of the deep-sea trenches located?
Deep ocean trenches can be found near continental shelves. Some are found near volcanic islands, and are formed due to plate tectonics.
Which is the second deepest trench of the world?
The deepest trenches in the world are -1 - Mariana Trench (aka Challenger Deep) in the western Pacific Ocean at 11,034 metres deep.2 - Tonga Trench in the south Pacific Ocean at 10,882 metres deep.3 - Philippine Trench (aka Philippine Deep, Mindanao Trench and Mindanao Deep) in the western Pacific Ocean at 10,540 metres deep.

Where are blue whales found?
Blue whales are mostly found in deep oceans such as the Atlantic ocean and the Pacific Ocean, however they are never found on the Coastlines. HOPE THAT HELPED! :)
