2、ity scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the PacificOcean for almost two decades. Weve been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and wetry and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key thingsthat we measure is COx levels. And Weve been
3、 able to record this increasing quantity ofatmospheric CO, into the ocean. Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and一more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance ofthe sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and c
4、oral in particular. As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid,carbonic acid, Dore explains. And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goesup and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it moreacidic.
5、 The seawater samples Dow and his colleagues have analyzed confirm what the theory predicts.The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore andhis colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked upCO2 and then moved
6、to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation. Its important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can havenegative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. Its potentially catastrophic. 35. What can be the best title of the passage? A. Sea Lif
