question 1 / 20
what is ocean acidification?
a. a method of cleaning ocean pollutants.
b. a process where the ocean becomes more acidic due to co2 absorption.
c. a phenomenon that has no impact on marine life.
d. a process that makes the ocean more alkaline.

Explanation:

Ocean acidification is a chemical change in ocean water caused by the ocean absorbing excess atmospheric carbon dioxide. This absorption lowers the ocean's pH, making it more acidic, and it negatively impacts marine organisms. Option A is incorrect as it describes pollution remediation, not acidification. Option C is wrong because ocean acidification harms marine life. Option D is the opposite of the actual process, as alkalinity increases pH rather than decreasing it.

Answer:

B. A process where the ocean becomes more acidic due to CO2 absorption.
