Based on the data from the graph, what factor is causing the pH level of water to decrease? What factor is the output?

• Atmospheric carbon dioxide; pH level of water

• Atmospheric carbon dioxide; time

• Atmospheric pressure; pH level of water

• Time; pH level of water

Based on the data from the graph, what is the relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide and pH level of water?

• Increase in pH level of water causes a decrease in atmospheric pressure

• Increase in pH level of water causes a decrease in atmospheric carbon dioxide

• Increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide causes an increase in pH level of water

• Increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide causes a decrease in pH level of water
