Part II: Read the text below, and then answer the questions. Corals, the basic structures of coral reefs, are affected by the increasing acidity (decreasing pH) of the
oceans. When the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide reacts with water and other
substances to form carbonic acid. This process uses substances in the ocean that corals use to build
their skeletons. So, the more carbon dioxide there is in the ocean, the harder it is for corals to build their
skeletons. Ocean acidification can also destroy existing coral reefs.
1. Give two possible ways that negative human impact on the pH of Earth's oceans can be reduced.
2. Conduct research to learn more about your proposed solutions. Be sure to look up information
about cost, safety, reliability, and social or cultural implications when applicable. What are the
pros of each solution? What are the cons of each solution?

Turtle hatchling survivorship rate is low in many turtle species due to predation. amanda researched the predatory rate on a species of turtle eggs in the red river. the eggs were harvested from trapped turtles and the egg's cloaca film (reproductive discharge) was either washed off or left on once gathered. research suggests that predators use the female's cloaca scent to locate the eggs. the eggs were only handled when wearing gloves and then reburied along islands where the turtles were trapped. the nests were monitored by cameras and manually on foot and data on nest predation were recorded. a. based on the experimental design, what is the dependent variable? b. based on the experimental design, what is the independent variable? c. based on the experimental design, what is the control?

How does upwelling affect coastal fisheries? upwelling damages nutrient supplies at coastal fisheries as the warm, nutrient-rich surface water is replaced by nutrient-poor, cold water. upwelling damages nutrient supplies at coastal fisheries as the cold, nutrient-rich surface water is replaced by nutrient-poor, warm water. upwelling improves the nutrient supply at coastal fisheries as the warm, nutrient-rich surface water replaces the nutrient-poor, cold water. upwelling improves the nutrient supply at coastal fisheries as cold, nutrient-rich water replaces the warm, nutrient-poor surface water.
