The ocean is close to the atmosphere which causes it to absorb large quantities of carbon dioxide. This reacts with the ocean's water and creates carbonic acid. Each molecules of carbonic acid then releases 2 hydrogen ions that increase the ocean's acidity, Therefore it dissolves the calcium in the shells and disposed most carbonate in the ocean that

the maintenance of golf course landscaping is to replace all of the current grass with artificial turf. Compared to the traditional real grass turf that golf courses use, artificial turf does not need to be watered at all.

be detrimental effects to the earth. The ground becomes more unstable, becoming vulnerable to future landslides, floods, and coastal erosion. It harms ecosystems, such as Thermokarst lakes. Wildlife and communities use these lakes for a source of water. As the permafrost thaws, the lakes will drain completely, destroying an important resource. Buildings and infrastructure built on permafrost will become a major issue, as the ground becomes more unstable, and therefore dangerous. The heat of the
