Question

How does the ocean affect the rate of accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere?

increases it
decreases it
maintains it at a constant rate

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The ocean is a large CO2 sink because of its large surface area. The CO2 emissions are caused by human and manufacturing activities which some of them are absorbed in the ocean because CO2 is partly soluble in water. Thus, the answer is CO2 is decreased in the process.
