Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the Earth's oceans have absorbed a significant part of all CO2 released into the atmosphere by human activity, and this has led to an increase in the acidity of seawater at a rate much faster than at any time in the last 55 million years.How much faster is the current rate of acidification?AThe rate of acidification remains unchangedBApproximately 2 times fasterCApproximately 10 times fasterDApproximately 100 times fasterEI'm not sure

Recall by how much the acid levels in the ocean have increased by over the past 250 years.

Which of the following can increase the acidity of water bodies?a.Oil runoffb.Eutrophicationc.Sulfur discharge from an industryd.Hydrocarbon runoff from a refinery
