This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: DAVELEE_OceanAcidification, Use of Fossil Fuels From Release of Carbon Dioxide, Decreases Carbonate Ions Marine Organisms such as Coral, Mollusks, Crustaceans, etc. rely on Carbonate ions to form their shells, Use of Fossil Fuels Such As Natural Gas, Use of Fossil Fuels From Anthropogenic Activities, Use of Fossil Fuels Such As Oil, Ocean Acidification Causes Deforestation, Ocean Acidification Consequences Disrupts ecosystems, It is dissolved and lowers the pH of the water how Increase in H+ lowers pH, Ocean Acidification Consequences Decreases Carbonate Ions, It is dissolved and lowers the pH of the water how Forms carbonic acid, Oceans Are Massive Sponges Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide What then? It is dissolved and lowers the pH of the water, Use of Fossil Fuels Such As Coal, Ocean Acidification Consequences Reduces Biodiversity, Ocean Acidification Main Point is Oceans Are Massive Sponges Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide, It is dissolved and lowers the pH of the water how Water and Carbon Dioxide react, Ocean Acidification Causes Release of Carbon Dioxide, Decreases Carbonate Ions Which is important because, Ocean Acidification Causes Production of Cement
