Summarize ocean acidification in one sentence.
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The ocean absorbs a significant portion of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities, equivalent to about one-third of the total emissions for the past 200 years from fossil fuel combustion, cement production and land-use change (Sabine et al., 2004). Uptake of CO2 by the ocean benefits society by moderating the rate of climate change but also causes unprecedented changes to ocean chemistry, decreasing the pH of the water and leading to a suite of chemical changes collectively known as ocean acidification. Like climate change, ocean acidification is a growing global problem that will intensify with continued CO2 emissions and has the potential to change marine ecosystems and affect benefits to society.

The average pH of ocean surface waters has decreased by about 0.1 unit—from about 8.2 to 8.1—since the beginning of the industrial revolution, with model projections showing an additional 0.2-0.3 drop by the end of the century, even under optimistic scenarios (Caldeira and Wickett, 2005).1 Perhaps more important is that the rate of this change exceeds any known change in ocean chemistry for at least 800,000 years (Ridgewell and Zeebe, 2005). The major changes in ocean chemistry caused by increasing atmospheric CO2 are well understood and can be precisely calculated, despite some uncertainty resulting from biological feedback processes. However, the direct biological effects of ocean acidification are less certain

1 “Acidification” does not mean that the ocean has a pH below neutrality. The average pH of the ocean is still basic (8.1), but because the pH is decreasing, it is described as undergoing acidification.

and will vary among organisms, with some coping well and others not at all. The long-term consequences of ocean acidification for marine biota are unknown, but changes in many ecosystems and the services they provide to society appear likely based on current understanding (Raven et al., 2005).

In response to these concerns, Congress requested that the National Research Council conduct a study on ocean acidification in the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006. The Committee on the Development of an Integrated Science Strategy for Ocean Acidification Monitoring, Research, and Impacts Assessment is charged with reviewing the current state of knowledge and identifying key gaps in information to help federal agencies develop a program to improve understanding and address the consequences of ocean acidification (see Box S.1 for full statement of task). Shortly after the study was underway, Congress passed another law—the Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring (FOARAM) Act of 2009—which calls for, among other things, the establishment of a federal ocean acidification program; this report is directed to the ongoing strategic planning process for such a program.

Although ocean acidification research is in its infancy, there is already growing evidence of changes in ocean chemistry and ensuing biological impacts. Time-series measurements and other field data have documented the decrease in ocean pH and other related changes in seawater chemistry (Dore et al., 2009). The absorption of anthropogenic CO2 by the oceans increases the concentration of hydrogen ions in seawater (quanti-

(15pts) A hungry 12.0 kg fish is coasting from west to east at 75 cm/s when it suddenly swallows a 1 kg fish swimming towards it
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The speed of the big fish after swallowing the small fish is 0.38 m/s.

Explanation:

Consider west to east direction as positive and the opposite direction as negative.

Given:

Mass of big fish (m₁) = 12.0 kg

Initial velocity of big fish (u₁) = 75 cm/s = 0.75 m/s

Mass of small fish (m₂) = 1 kg

Initial velocity of small fish (u₂) = -4 m/s (Direction is opposite to u₁)

After swallowing the small fish, both the fishes move together with same velocity. Let the velocity be 'v'.

So, as there are no effects of drag or any other forces, the given scenario can be considered as a case of inelastic collision where the objects move together with same velocity after collision.

The momentum is conserved in inelastic collision. Therefore,

Initial momentum of the fishes = Final momentum of the fishes

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\\v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'v'. This gives,

v=\frac{12.0\times 0.75+1\times (-4)}{12.0+1}\\\\v=\frac{9-4}{13}\\\\v=\frac{5}{13}=0.38\ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the big fish after swallowing the small fish is 0.38 m/s

The outer planets are similar to the planet Earth; they just happen to be farther away from the Sun.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The inner planets are called terrestrial planets due to the surfaces are solid (similar to Earth)-made up of heavy metals, either have no moons or few moons.

The outer planets are called Jovian planets or gas giants because they are encased in gas.  They all have rings with plenty of moons.
