Media & Society_20 - Acidic Ocean


A new discovery have been made. Researches have found out that not only the asteroids were the main culprit of the extinction of the prehistoric life but also the acidic ocean that caused mass extinction in the aquatic life. Rocks and sediments from the United Arab Emirate have shown signs of acidic water. Scientist believe that the release of carbon have contributed the acidity of the ocean's water. This discovery has also made the scientist worried about our current ocean's situation has there have been high amount carbon being emitted every single time.

Well, it's a good thing that we could study the past by studying the rock's samples and its sediments. A very interesting way for us to learn about the past.
