Difference between Climate change and Ocean acidification

Climate change vs. Ocean acidification

Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns when that change lasts for an extended period of time (i.e., decades to millions of years). Ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth's oceans, caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Similarities between Climate change and Ocean acidification

Climate change and Ocean acidification have 28 things in common (in Unionpedia): Albedo, American Geophysical Union, Atlantic Ocean, Atmosphere of Earth, Autotroph, Biosphere, Carbon cycle, Carbon dioxide, Carbon sink, Climate change mitigation, Climate engineering, Coral reef, Ecosystem, Fossil fuel, Global warming, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Lithosphere, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Nature (journal), Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum, Photosynthesis, Phytoplankton, Royal Society, Science (journal), Southern Ocean, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

Albedo

Albedo (albedo, meaning "whiteness") is the measure of the diffuse reflection of solar radiation out of the total solar radiation received by an astronomical body (e.g. a planet like Earth).

Autotroph

An autotroph ("self-feeding", from the Greek autos "self" and trophe "nourishing") or producer, is an organism that produces complex organic compounds (such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) from simple substances present in its surroundings, generally using energy from light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions (chemosynthesis).

Biosphere

The biosphere (from Greek βίος bíos "life" and σφαῖρα sphaira "sphere") also known as the ecosphere (from Greek οἶκος oîkos "environment" and σφαῖρα), is the worldwide sum of all ecosystems.
