Human activity has greatly increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. the graph below shows one consequence of this change. describe two consequences to biodiversity in ocean ecosystems based on the data in the graph. include specific organisms.

The data on the graph shows an overall increase in global ocean temperatures since roughly the 1970s. An increase in the temperature has consequences for marine animals. Corals are one of the most vulnerable to rises in sea temperature because they can only live in a specific range of temperatureabove that range and coral bleaching will occur. The population and biodiversity of corals will decrease. Millions of other organisms depend on reefs for survival and for habitats. If the population and biodiversity of corals will decrease so too will that of the other dependent organisms.
