Card #24: Ocean Acidification
| Causes | Consequences | |
|
When CO2 dissolves into the ocean, it turns into acid ions (H2CO3 and HCO3–).
The effect of this transformation is ocean acidification (the pH decreases).
Explanation
Ocean acidification is sometimes called "the other carbon problem". Indeed, it is not strictly speaking a consequence of climate change, but another consequence of CO2 emissions.
Facilitation tips
Frequently mentioned link
The Concentration of CO2(ppm) is often found as the origin of this card. However, not every molecule that is found in the ocean is found in the atmosphere, and therefore the most logical link comes from the carbon sinks card.
