The Computer Models Below Show Acidity of Ocean Waters in 1995

Multiple Choice

The computer models below show acidity of ocean waters in 1995 and 2100. What can be interpreted from the models about ocean acidification? 1. Plant and animals in the Arctic and Antarctic are likely to be the first and also the most affected by ocean acidification. 2. Since coral reefs are susceptible to acid bleaching, if water acidity around the equator increases as projected then coral reefs will be affected.

A) 1
B) 2
C) Both 1 and 2 can be interpreted from the models.
D) There is not sufficient information in these models for them to be interpreted.
