Multiple Choice
Marine scientists monitor atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide. As atmospheric levels rise, more of the gas dissolves in the oceans. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dissolves as more carbon dioxide enters the oceans. Marine organisms such as clams need CaCO3 to build their exoskeletons.
Based on this information, which change is most likely to be a direct result of these increasing levels of oceanic carbon dioxide?
