Which outcome accelerates coastal erosion when ocean acidity changes?

💡 Explanation

Increased ocean acidity enhances dissolution of calcium carbonate in marine organisms' shells (and shoreline rock). The shells weaken leading to fragmentation and accelerated Erosion, because dissolution increases its rate. Therefore reduced shell integrity occurs rather than sedimentary changes.
