Answer:
- Human activities can affect the carbon cycle by burning fossil fuels, changing land use, and using limestone to make concrete all release significant quantities of carbon into the atmosphere.
- Due to this, the amount of carbon dioxide is rapidly rising in the atmosphere.
- It is already higher than at any time in the last 3.6 million years.
- The ocean absorbs carbon dioxide that is released from burning fossil fuels.
- This extra carbon dioxide lowers the ocean’s pH, through a process called ocean acidification.
- This in turn interferes with the ability of marine organisms to build their shells and skeletons.
