Green House Effect
-
Ocean Acidification
What is it?
CO2 dissolves in the ocean, making it more acidic.
-
-
CO2 Diffusing
Diffusion: The net movement of gas+ liquid particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
Impacts
Hydrogen ions have a greater attraction to Carbonate than calcium. Hydrogen bonds with Carbonate to form a bicarbonate ion.
Shelled organisms cant use the carbonate ions in the bicarbonate, preventing them from using it to build a new shell.
What is It?
-
Solar radiation is absorbed by the earth's surface, warming it. Some of it is reflected by the Earth and Atmosphere. Infra-red Radiation is emitted by the earths surface and some passes through the atmosphere. Most of the Infra red radiation is absorbed and then re-emitted in all direction by greenhouse gas molecules and clouds.
