What is a process that can occur in ocean due to the uptake of extra atmospheric co2
svlad2 [7]

Ocean acidification is a process that can occur in ocean due to the uptake of extra atmospheric Co_2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ocean acidification is happening since abundance carbon dioxide (Co_2) in the environment is being caught up in the outside of the sea at an expanding rate. Regularly, sea water is less acidic than freshwater. As such the sea assimilates increasingly more carbon dioxide from the climate, it turns out to be progressively acidic.

This process of  (Co_2) brings about more hydrogen particles, which builds the causticity of the sea. So this Ocean acidification is a procedure that can happen in the sea because of the take-up of extra biometric.
