<prompt> Hlalosa mohlala oa acidification ea leoatle.nan  <response>: Instruction in English: Describe an example of ocean acidification. . Response in English: Ocean acidification is the process of increasing acidity in the worlds oceans due to the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. An example of this is the impact it has on the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia. As the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, it reacts with seawater to produce carbonic acid, which in turn reduces the availability of carbonate ions. These ions are necessary for building shells and skeletons of marine organisms such as corals, mollusks and some species of plankton. The reduction in carbonate ions makes it difficult for these organisms to form and maintain their hard outer shells or skeletons.In the case of the Great Barrier Reef, ocean acidification is resulting in slower growth rates and weaker skeletons, making the coral more vulnerable to stress factors and more susceptible to diseases, storms and coral bleaching. This not only affects the coral, but the entire ecosystem which relies on the coral for shelter and food. Hence, ocean acidification is a major concern for the health and survival of coral reefs and marine biodiversity worldwide. . Response in Sesotho: Ocean acidization ke tsebetso ea ho eketsa asiti maoatleng a lefatse ka lebaka la ho monya carbon dioxide ho tsoa sepakapakeng. Mohlala oa sena ke phello eo e nang le eona ho Great Barrier Reef haufi le lebōpo la Australia. Ha leoatle le monya carbon dioxide, le kopana le metsi a leoatle ho hlahisa asiti ea carbonic, e leng eona e fokotsang ho ba teng ha li-ion tsa carbonate. Li-ion tsena lia hlokahala bakeng sa ho aha likhetla le masapo a lintho tse phelang metsing tse kang likorale, li-mollusk le mefuta e meng ea plankton. Ho fokotseha ha li-ion tsa carbonate ho etsa hore ho be thata hore likokoana-hloko tsena li thehe le ho boloka likhetla tsa tsona tsa ka ntle tse thata kapa masapo. Tabeng ea Great Barrier Reef, acidization ea leoatle e baka lebelo la ho hōla butle le masapo a fokolang, e leng se etsang hore likorale li be kotsing ea khatello ea maikutlo le ho hlaseloa habonolo ke mafu, lifefo le ho soeufala ha likorale.

Kahoo, ho eketsa asiti ea leoatleng ke ntho e amehang haholo bakeng sa bophelo bo botle le ho phela ha mafika a likorale le mefuta-futa ea lintho tse phelang leoatleng lefatšeng ka bophara.
