Introduction
Ocean acidification is a growing environmental concern that is affecting marine ecosystems worldwide. The increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities is causing a decrease in the pH levels of the ocean, leading to acidification. This phenomenon is having a profound impact on marine geology, altering the composition and structure of marine habitats and affecting the organisms that rely on these habitats for survival.
This project aims to explore the impact of ocean acidification on marine geology, focusing on how changes in pH levels are affecting the physical and chemical properties of the ocean floor, as well as the organisms that inhabit these environments. By understanding these impacts, we can better assess the potential consequences of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems and develop strategies to mitigate its effects.

Project Research Overview
The impact of ocean acidification on marine geology is a critical issue that requires urgent attention. The increase in CO2 emissions from human activities is leading to a decrease in ocean pH levels, which is having significant consequences for marine ecosystems. This project aims to explore the effects of ocean acidification on marine geology, focusing on how changes in pH levels are impacting marine habitats and organisms.
Through a comprehensive literature review, research methodology, and discussion of findings, this project will provide valuable insights into the implications of ocean acidification for marine geology. By understanding these impacts, we can better assess the potential consequences of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems and develop strategies to mitigate its effects. This research is crucial for informing policy and management decisions aimed at protecting marine environments in the face of climate change.
