pH Scale
• pH Scale measures acidity
• Pure water has pH of 7• Lower pH is acidic• Higher pH is basic
• Logarithmic scale:• Each step is 10x more acidic or basic

Natural Carbon CyclePlants take in carbon from carbon dioxide during photosynthesis
Animals take in carbon by eating plants
Animals release carbon dioxide by breaking down carbohydrates to release their energy
Carbon Sequestration – The process of removing carbon from the carbon cycle.
Plants that are buried before they are eaten remove carbon, while volcanos emit carbon dioxide

Burning fossil fuels addsextra CO2 to atmosphere
4 lbs of CO2 from fossilfuel adds 1 lbs ofdissolved CO2
24,000,000,000,000 lbsCO2 released from fossilfuels in 2011
As CO2 from fossil fuels is released into the atmosphere,
more CO2 dissolves in the ocean to maintain dynamic equilibrium
Human CausedCO2 in the Environment

Ocean Acidification
Ocean Acidification: Dissolved CO2 reacts to form carbonic acid, lowering the ocean’s pH
As more CO2 is added to the air, more dissolves into the ocean and more converts to H2CO3

Effects of Ocean Acidification
NOAA
Right: Healthy pteropodwith clear shell
Far right: Shell partiallydissolved by ocean acidification
At today’s CO2 emissions rate, ocean pH will drop from 8.2 to 7.9 by year 2100 - NOAA
Effects on shells
