what is the major cause of ocean acidification?
intensive overfishing caused by human activity
varying levels of pollution caused by human activity
invasive species introduced by human activity
the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels caused by human activity
naturally occurring ph changes in the ocean

Explanation:

Ocean acidification is mainly due to the increased absorption of carbon dioxide by the ocean. Human - caused increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels leads to more CO₂ dissolving in the ocean, which reacts with water to form carbonic acid, lowering the ocean's pH. Overfishing, pollution, invasive species, and natural pH changes are not the main causes of ocean acidification.

Answer:

the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels caused by human activity
