Question

PLEASE HELP ME FAST. How would a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions affect the oceans? Select the two correct answers.

It would reduce ocean temperatures.

It would increase ocean temperatures.

It would lower the pH of the oceans.

It would raise the pH of the oceans.

Answer 1

would lower ph of the oceans :)

Answer 2

It would lower the pH of the oceans.

Step-by-step explanation:

When carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater, the water becomes more acidic and the ocean's pH (a measure of how acidic or basic the ocean is) drops. Even though the ocean is immense, enough carbon dioxide can have a major impact.

CO2 emissions are also making the ocean more acidic, making many marine species and ecosystems increasingly vulnerable. Ocean acidification reduces the ability of marine organisms, such as corals, plankton and shellfish, to build their shells and skeletal structures.
