Ocean Acidification is caused when the amount of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere gets dissolved in the ocean. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases due to burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas ,emission of gases from the automobiles etc. The extra amount of carbon dioxide lowers the pH of the water and making the oceans more acidic.
