The Affects of Ocean Acidification on Marine Ecosystems Ocean acidification is the ongoing warming and decreasing of pH in the earths water supply (Gray et al. 2016; PMEL 2017). The acidification is caused from the increase in carbon dioxide concentration within the earths atmosphere. The carbon dioxide then reacts with the water to produce carbonic acid and carbonate ions thus‚ decreasing the pH. Ocean acidification affects the ecology of everything on this planet. Mainly‚ the marine ecosystems

This resource is made up of dead fish and other creatures that sink to the ocean floor and as sediment builds up the dead animal remains decompose and heat up to form the oil and natural gas. This can take up to thousands of years to form and if humans use too much oil we will have to wait another thousand years to
