How Acidity Affects Shells.
What is ocean acidification? This is the process caused by carbon is increasing releasing that can over time cause shells of animals and just shells in general to disintegrate. Just from human activity alone 30-40% of human carbon dioxide if affecting the water around us. It is thought to be very harmful to the environment when the acidity is increasing and is thought to be harming the marine organisms. Ocean acidification is a harmful problem from too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and eventually even though we think it won't it gets into our oceans and effects what goes on underwater.
Did you know about 25% of the carbon dioxide from burning oil, coal, and gas affects the oceans and marine life in the oceans because it does not stay in the air. 525 billion tons of carbon dioxide has absorbed in the waterways since the start of the …show more content…
The next step is to begin to watch the process and see what happens as it goes on. Every couple of days take the shells out and measure their weight. Then you write down the measurements and see if you happen to notice a difference. You want to see how your independent variable (acid) affects the dependent variable(shells). The different types of data you want is how much acid is in each of the cups and you also want to make sure that you also measure how much the weight is of the shells. I will analyze my data by noticing the differences there is when you add different levels of acid and how it might affect the sea life or organisms. My three variables are the numbers of days, the amount of acid in the cups, and the weight of the shells. You may ask why you need to know these things so let me tell you. You need to know the amount of acid so you know what level of acid affects the ocean the most. You need to know the number of days so you can get an idea of how the acid is dangerous for sea
