Ocean acidification is of considerable concern to environmental scientists as it could impact ocean biodiversity significantly
one of the impacts is the weakening of calcium carbonate shells in invertebrates, which releases carbon into the ocean. what
describes the relationship between ocean acidification's causes and effects?
(a)increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere cause a decrease in
ocean ph. the dissolution of calcium carbonate shells increases carbon in
the ocean. this is a positive feedback loop, where the ocean's ph will
continue to drop
(b)decreased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere cause a decrease in
ocean ph. the dissolution of calcium carbonate shells increases carbon in
the ocean. this is a negative feedback loop, where the ocean's ph will
retum to homeostasis
(c)increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere cause an increase in
ocean ph. the dissolution of calcium carbonate shells increases carbon in
the ocean. this is a positive feedback loop, where the ocean's ph will
continue to increase
(d)decreased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere cause a increase in
ocean ph the dissolution of calcium carbonate shells increases carbon in
the ocean. this is a negative feedback loop, where the ocean's ph will

Bisphenol a (often called bpa) is a chemical found in products that people use every day, from water bottles to food containers to children's toys. unfortunately, bpa leaches out of its many products and makes its way into our bodies. what are the health effects of bpa exposure? ongoing research is finding that elevated exposure to bpa can affect a wide variety of developmental and physiological processes, but one of the first studies of bpa's health effects came about because of a simple mistake in the lab. at a laboratory at case western reserve university in 1998, geneticist patricia hunt was making a routine check of her female lab mice. as she extracted and examined developing eggs from the ovaries, she began to wonder what had gone wrong. she noticed that many of the eggs showed problems with their chromosomes, and some had irregular amounts of genetic material, which can lead to miscarriages and birth defects in mammals. she learned that a lab assistant had mistakenly washed the plastic mouse cages and water bottles with a harsh soap, releasing bpa from the plastic. knowing that bpa is an endocrine disruptor, a chemical that can enter organisms and mimic hormones, hunt set out to discover whether it had adversely affected her mice.

Subduction zones form when an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate or continental plate. the continental crust is lighter and less dense than oceanic crust. continental crust's density is approximately 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. oceanic crust is thinner and the average density is about 3.3 cubic centimeters. when the two crustal plates converge the oceanic plate always bends and subducts beneath a continental plate. once the oceanic crust subjects, the rocks are subjected to changes in heat and pressure. because of this, we would expect to find rocks in the area of a subduction. a) clastic b) igneous c) metamorphic d) sedimentary
