Ocean Acidification

Ocean acidification is the reduction of pH In the ocean. The amount of greenhouses is causing the oceans to acidify. The amount of CO2 in the ocean has greatly increased. Oceans has increased in CO2 in the atmosphere. The differences of CO2 and H2O as greenhouse gases is that CO2 can release more heat than H2O. The oceans chemistry decrease in pH it equals acidification.

This illustration shows the process of ocean acidification successfully.

Some examples of acid are battery acid, sodas, oranges juice, milk and urine. Some examples of bases are baking soda, bleach, and drain cleaner. Chemistry affects biology by shelled organisms are affected by (Snails, Clams, Mussel, Crabs).

This table shows the different levels of pH and examples for each level.

Human Footprint, Carbon, and Substance

A couple green areas in North America are Canada, Seattle, and San Fransisco. The country Canada consists of 10 provinces and territories, it is also known for being the second largest country. The city of Vancouver is the eighth largest Canadian municipality. In 2011 Vancouver recorded 603,502 people in the city. Seattle is the most populated city of the State of Washington, it is where the famous Space Needle is located. There are about 625,405 residents as of 2013.

       The black areas are Los Angeles, San Diego, and Chicago. L.A, which is short for Los Angles, is the second-largest city in the U.S with a population of 3,772,621. San Diego is the eight-largest city in the United States with the population of 1,355,896. San Diego is known for its mild weather; it has on average 146 sunny days and 117 partly cloudy days a year. Chicago is the third most  populous city in the U.S. with 2.7 million residents. In 2012, Chicago hosted 46.37 million international and domestic visitors. All of these areas use a lot of energy with lights, due to the amazing view with all the beautiful buildings at the center of the cities.

Carbon and Me

The carbon cycle is the process carbon is used and re-used throughout ecosystem of the Earth. Two forms in which carbon enters the carbon cycle is through diffusion and human elements. Diffusion is the process in which carbon enters land, ocean, and atmosphere. Human elements is the second process where carbon enters the atmosphere through us when fossil fuels are burned. 

This is an illustrated demonstration of the Carbon Cycle, showing us all the different forms carbon enters the planet. (LINK)

       In the modern world, carbon is the greenhouse gas which remains in the atmosphere the most. Due to the increasing amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere the planet to become warmer. The majority of the CO2 being released into the atmosphere is human made, making us the primary reason fro global warming. Humans release about 7 billion tons of carbon each year, which is an insane amount of carbon. 

 

        Wood converts to coal. Slimy plants converts to oil. Both wood and slimy plants make Natural gases. Carbon enters the atmosphere when human burn fossil fuel. In 1850, carbon in the air has increased 36%.
