[Quiz] Carbon Cycle and Climate change

What is the abiotic component of ocean acidification?

• Human's having less food available as the food chain breaks down

• Shell fish whose shells are disolving from more acidic water

• Carbon dioxide decreasing the pH of the ocean

• More plants taking in carbon dioxide from the ocean

How do forest fires contribute to global warming? 

• By taking in more carbon dioxide to remove it from the atmoshpere

• By releasing the carbon trapped in their mass as smoke

• By absorbing more heat from the sun because of their dark color

• Forest fires are a normal part of an ecosystem
