What is the role of shell-building marine creatures in regulating climate? A.

their shells form the hydrocarbon fuels that release greenhouse gases when burned

B.

they utilize the carbon dioxide released while respiring to build their shells

they help to remove carbon dioxide through calcification

D.

they help to remove carbon dioxide through photosynthesis

they help to remove carbon dioxide through calcification

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that they help to remove carbon dioxide through calcification

Shell-building marine creatures play important roles in regulating climate because they help to remove carbon dioxide from the environment through the process of calcification.

Carbon dioxide is a major driver of climate change because the gas is among the greenhouse gases that absorb radiation from the sun thereby causing the warming of the planet. The more the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the more the amount of heat trapped and the more the increase in the global temperature. An increase in the global temperature causes the general climatic factors to become erratic.

Hence, the removal of carbon dioxide through the process of calcification is important for regulating climate change.
