Answer:

MRCORRECT has answered the question

Step-by-step explanation:

After atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves into the ocean, the aqueous carbon dioxidereacts with seawater to form carbonic acid. As carbonic acid continues to interact with water molecules, carbonate is formed, which increases the concentration of hydrogen ions in the ocean and consequently reducesocean pH.
