Question

When ocean waters warm, what are the effects?

Answer 1

Answer: The warm ocean waters may cause glaciers to melt back into water causing rise of water levels leading to flooding around coastal areas. A glacier is a body of ice that formed due to repeated snow fall.

Answer 2

The ocean absorbs most of the excess heat from greenhouse gas emissions, leading to rising ocean temperatures. Increasing ocean temperatures affect marine species and ecosystems, causing coral bleaching and the loss of breeding grounds for marine fishes and mammals
