Factors contributing to ocean acidification: How do nutrient runoffs from agriculture contribute to ocean acidification?

• Nutrient runoffs from agriculture can increase carbon dioxide levels in the ocean

• Nutrient runoffs from agriculture can decrease carbon dioxide levels in the ocean

• Nutrient runoffs from agriculture can increase oxygen levels in the ocean

• Nutrient runoffs from agriculture have no impact on ocean acidification

Global warming and ocean acidification: How does global warming contribute to ocean acidification?

• Increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are absorbed by the ocean, leading to a decrease in pH levels.

• The temperature of the ocean decreases due to global warming, causing an increase in pH levels

• Global warming has no impact on ocean acidification

• Increasing levels of oxygen in the atmosphere are absorbed by the ocean, leading to a decrease in pH levels

Global warming and ocean acidification: What are some potential consequences of the combined effects of global warming and ocean acidification on marine ecosystems?

• Increase in marine biodiversity, improvement of food chains, positive impacts on marine species

• Coral bleaching, loss of biodiversity, disruption of food chains, and negative impacts on marine species

• Reduction in ocean temperature, decrease in sea levels, positive impacts on marine ecosystems

• Decrease in coral bleaching, increase in ocean pH levels, positive impacts on marine life
