Which of these are problems associated with fishing nets:

Animals get caught in them and drown or starve

The absorb carbonate from the water

They make the ocean more acidic

An in acidic conditions in the ocean is making it more difficult for marine organisms to build and maintain their

relationships with other marine life

Which best explains why the Ocean is called a carbon sink?

The ocean absorbs and stores carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The ocean has no impact on atmospheric carbon levels.

The ocean releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

The ocean is primarily made of salt water, not carbon.

The best definition for bioclastic rocks:

Bioclastic rocks are sedimentary rocks composed of fragments of biological origin.

Bioclastic rocks are igneous rocks formed from cooling magma.

Bioclastic rocks are exclusively composed of mineral fragments.

Bioclastic rocks are formed from volcanic activity.

Which best describes the relationship between levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and ocean acidification:

Higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere lead to increased ocean acidification.

Higher levels of carbon dioxide decrease ocean acidity.

Ocean acidification is unrelated to atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.

Increased ocean temperatures reduce ocean acidification.

Identify two problems associated with increased ocean acidification:

Harm to marine organisms that rely on calcium carbonate for shells and skeletons.

Decline in coral reef health and growth.

Enhanced oxygen levels in ocean waters.

Increased fish populations in coastal areas.

Reduction of plastic pollution in the ocean.

Identify two problems associated with the Great Pacific Garbage Patch:

Harm to marine life due to entanglement. Impacting the food chains.

Marine life consuming plastics and then humans consuming marine life

Increase in ocean temperature due to climate change.

Improvement of water quality in the Pacific Ocean.

Enhanced fishing opportunities in the affected areas.

Identify one (1) way in which humans can fix the Giant Pacific Garbage Patch issue:

Deploy specialized cleanup vessels to collect plastic debris.

Ignore the problem and hope it goes away.

Promote the use of single-use plastics.

Encourage ocean dumping of waste materials.

Increase plastic production to meet demand.

Identify the best definition of overfishing:

The depletion of fish stocks from removing fish faster than they can reproduce.

The practice of fishing without any regulations.

The increase of fish stocks due to conservation efforts.

The sustainable management of fish populations.
