The yang is slowly souring

The ocean absorbs millions of tons of carbon dioxide every day so it becomes more and more sour. Scientists believe that this could cause the whole line of food in the sea to be turned upside down.

The ocean brings life to the earth, making a green planet. However, in the future, the oceans will face a new threat related to climate warming. The culprit is the carbon diocide emitted by humans. The ocean is constantly absorbing all these emissions intact.

In contrast, chemical reactions make sea water sour. Even though it is very light, it is enough to attack some types of seaweed and marine microorganisms that exist because of the lime shell. If the ocean water is more sour, the shells will disintegrate and the creature dies. According to researchers working on the subject, many other species are also threatened such as corals, or floating creatures.

Scientists dropped Teropods, a small snail that swims into the sour water a bit more than seawater. Result: The thin lime shells and the inside of the shells become loose. Currently, areas that have not been affected are still the majority. However, if people do not reduce CO2 emissions from here to 100 years, the sour areas will quickly spread.

The acidification of the ocean worries scientists because this phenomenon also affects deep-sea corals, which is the main shelter of thousands of marine organisms.
