Earth’s acid test: When did ocean acidity allow life to commence?
A new study finds that ocean acidity may have prevented life on Earth from developing for the planet’s first 500 million years.
Sea acidity has reached critical levels, threatening entire ecosystem 🌊⚠️. Ocean acidification has crossed crucial threshold for planetary health 🌍, its “planetary boundary” 📏, scientists say in unexpected finding. This damages coral reefs 🐠🏝️ and, in extreme cases, can dissolve the shells of marine creatures 🐚.
