However‚ the wide blue waters are beginning to fade fast. Recently‚ a new pollutant has been exposed‚ carbon dioxide‚ is causing this acidification. Ocean acidification is when the saltwater absorbs enough carbon dioxide from the atmosphere that it changes the pH of the water. This is what is happening

Interest payments on credit cards and loans will be more expensive. Therefore this discourages people from borrowing and saving. People who already have loans will have less disposable income

The discount rate Main article: Discount rate The rate used to discount future cash flows to their present values is a key variable of this process. A firm’s weighted average cost of capital (after tax) is often used‚ but many people believe that it is appropriate to use higher discount rates to adjust for risk or other factors. A variable discount rate with higher rates applied to cash flows occurring further along the time span might be used to reflect the yield curve premium for long-term

Have you ever thought about how ocean acidification affects organisms that live in the ocean‚ or even what ocean acidification is? First off‚ ocean acidification is a term used to describe significant changes to the chemistry of the ocean. This happens when carbon dioxide is absorbed by the ocean and reacts with seawater to produce acid. Ocean acidification affects many organisms’ homes and shelters. It also destroys many reef ecosystems. Ocean acidification is a bad thing. It’s bad because it

Mortality rate is a measure of the number of deaths (in general‚ or due to a specific cause) in a population‚ scaled to the size of that population‚ per unit of time. Mortality rate is typically expressed in units of deaths per 1000 individuals per year; thus‚ a mortality rate of 9.5 (out of 1000) in a population of 1‚000 would mean 9.5 deaths per year in that entire population‚ or 0.95% out of the total. It is distinct from morbidity rate‚ which refers to the number of individuals in poor health
