Question

Explain what might happen to the calcium carbonate in coral reef if the sea water becomes more acidic

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Coral. Many marine organisms that produce calcium carbonate shells or skeletons are negatively impacted by increasing CO2 levels and decreasing pH in seawater. For example, increasing ocean acidification has been shown to significantly reduce the ability of reef-building corals to produce their skeletons.

Answer 2

Short answer : As carbon dioxide in the ocean increases, ocean pH decreases or becomes more acidic. This is called ocean acidification. With ocean acidification, corals cannot absorb the calcium carbonate they need to maintain their skeletons and the stony skeletons that support corals and reefs will dissolve.plz make me brainliest
