Ocean acidification is often referred to as osteoporosis of the oceans because as acidity rises, shell building creatures such as lobster, oyster, crab, shrimp, and coral are unable to extract the calcium carbonate from the water that they need to build their shells and are thus unable to survive.

Ever since the eighth grade, I can honestly say I cut out carbonated drinks from my diet and started focusing on hydrating my body well. It's a message that needs to get out, especially in the south.

Pepsi and Coke have to co-exist on the shelf for the long term because if they pull each other down, no one's going to drink carbonated soft drinks anymore.

So, I simply switched over to wine because it was not carbonated.

American Musician

Often used in science, especially chemistry, geology, and biology.

Scientific Usage

Carbonates are found in everyday materials, like chalk and limestone.

Common Substances

Carbonates play a role in the carbon cycle and climate change discussion.

Environmental Relevance

The verb 'carbonate' often refers to making beverages bubbly.

Fizzy Drinks

Carbonating is an industrial process applied in beverage production.

Industrial Process

Home carbonation devices allow people to carbonate their own drinks.

Culinary Context

 surface is a natural substrate for corals to settle on and colonize it becomes a non-invasive mineral Rock the electricity locally raises the pH creating an alkaline buffer zone and this is important because with ocean acidification and other factors corals have a hard time getting the calcium carbonate they need to build their

 scratch using only natural ingredients first I need an abrasive my brace if has to not dissolve in water because if it dissolves in water then it's no longer a solid and it can't rub stuff off my teeth and I'm going to use something that you can find in rocks all over nature calcium carbonate otherwise

 Over time, these polyps generate rock-like skeletons made of calcium carbonate. Together, colonies of polyps produce large three-dimensional structures, which form the basis of an underwater metropolis. These coral complexes are full of nooks and crannies that house and protect countless life forms.

The big-beaked,...

 It's called a pyrosome or colonial tunicate, if you like. This wasn't what we were looking for. We were looking for corals, deep sea corals. You're going to see a picture of one in a moment. It's small, about five centimeters high. It's made of calcium carbonate, so you can see its tentacles there,

The secrets I find on...

 So perhaps the best way to heal large cracks is to give concrete the tools to help itself. Scientists have discovered that some bacteria and fungi can produce minerals, including the calcium carbonate found in autogenous healing. Experimental blends of concrete

 regrettably. But the phone will ring or the mail will come and then against all odds, you'll get your sense of humor about yourself back. Laughter really is carbonated holiness. It helps us breathe again and again and gives us back to ourselves,

12 truths I learned from...

 So if we had some way to stop this scaling -- and so I picked up some shells on the beach. And I asked them, what is scaling? What's inside your pipes? And they said, calcium carbonate. And I said, that's what this is; this is calcium carbonate.

 their flesh and the deep sea is under saturated in calcium carbonate so it literally dissolved all the bones takes about five years but the entire skeleton of a human at those depths will vanish and what's left behind are there pairs
