Ocean Acidification Summary by Brenda Cortez https://padlet.com/10537522/drlbu3hlusvmtggw en-us 2023-05-05 20:36:58 UTC 2025-10-05 12:29:15 UTC hello@padlet.com In your own words, what is ocean acidification 10537522 https://padlet.com/10537522/drlbu3hlusvmtggw/wish/2579974568 If I would describe what ocean acidification was, I would say that it is when the pH levels in the ocean drop and the amount of carbon dioxide in the ocean increases, making the water more acidity. ]]> 2023-05-05 20:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/10537522/drlbu3hlusvmtggw/wish/2579974568 How does it work, in other hands, how does it happen? 10537522 https://padlet.com/10537522/drlbu3hlusvmtggw/wish/2579977121 Ocean acidification happens as more carbon dioxide enters the ocean. The more emissions humans cause, the more carbon dioxide that goes into our ocean. It makes our ocean water abnormally acidic, making it a danger to species. ]]> 2023-05-05 20:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/10537522/drlbu3hlusvmtggw/wish/2579977121 What effect does it have on the environment? 10537522 https://padlet.com/10537522/drlbu3hlusvmtggw/wish/2579977907 It has a big effect on our ecosystem. When the water in our ocean becomes more acidic, it starts to make species sensitive to its water. Species like coral reefs are slowed down, their productivity levels are dropped. ]]> 2023-05-05 20:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/10537522/drlbu3hlusvmtggw/wish/2579977907 Propose a way to minimize the effects 10537522 https://padlet.com/10537522/drlbu3hlusvmtggw/wish/2579985313 One way we can minimize ocean acidification is to adopt renewable energy. If humans can adopt alternative energy sources, we can save our ocean. It would make a very impressive change, drop levels of the CO2 that enter the ocean, and improve the water to make its species more survivable.]]> 2023-05-05 21:00:23 UTC https://padlet.com/10537522/drlbu3hlusvmtggw/wish/2579985313
