13、the atmosphere. The lowering of the waters PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature. Increasing

14、 use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by sea water. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century. These researchers have tr

17、t PH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changesCoral reefs(珊瑚礁) and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up, the team predict.

19、 experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing-because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2, is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.” 26. The ocean is becoming more acidic due to_. A. the lower water PH value

20、B. the warming atmosphere C. the higher level of CO2 in the air D. the increasing use of oil fuel 27. According to Dr Caldeira,_ .
