Today we did some research on why coral reefs are dying. We had to make a DLO on the topic. Climate change is affecting "Coral Reefs because a warmer ocean causes thermal stress that contributes to coral bleaching and infectious diseases". This article also mentions "ocean acidification (a result of increased CO2); causes a reduction in pH levels which decreases coral growth and structural integrity" (the info for this caption is from oceanservice.noaa.gov > facts > coralreef-climate).
Hi Hunter,
ReplyDeleteI like your slides that you made about ocean changes and coral reefs.
I like the DLO that you made and making awareness about the coral reefs.
Maybe next time you could write a little more.
