Global warming

Global warming refers to the increase in Earth's atmospheric temperature due to greenhouse gas emissions, leading to significant effects on oceans, coastlines, and marine ecosystems. Key impacts include rising ocean temperatures, deoxygenation, ocean acidification, and coral bleaching, which threaten marine life and habitats. Additionally, global warming contributes to extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and challenges for both wildlife and human survival.

Global Warming

•Effects on oceans,
coastline & marine
ecosystem
What is global
warming? temperature of earth’s
•The increase in the

atmosphere , caused
by the increase of
certain gases is called
global warming.
•Global warming
caused by
greenhouse effect.
Effects of Global
Warming
 Increasing temperature of ocean.
 Changing rain and snow pattern.
 Migration of fish.
 Sea level rises.
 Changes to habitat and food supply.
 Melting of continental glaciers and ice
caps.
Effect of global warming
Effect of global warming on
ocean the temperature of ocean
1.Increasing
Global warming increasing not only the
temperature of environment but also of ocean. The ocean
absorbs most of the excess heat from greenhouse gas
emissions, leading to rising ocean temperatures.
2.Deoxygenation due to global warming
Global warming increases the temperature of
water,which makes the water warm.And in warm water
oxygen is less soluble.Thus,oxygen in ocean is reducing ,
which is known as deoxygenation.Deoxygenation will, in turn
reduce the life span of fishes and marine animals.Fishes will
3.Migration of fishes
Fishes are not comfortable with the higher of
temperature of oceans.they are not getting enough
oxygen to live.What are they going to do?They will
migrate from one place to another.
4.Ocean Acidification
CO2 absorbed by the ocean makes it more acidic.And
its result is Phytoplanktons are kill and phytoplanktons are
major part of food web. Ocean acidification (the decrease in
pH of the ocean due to its uptake of CO2), affect marine
species and ecosystems and, consequently, the
fundamental benefits humans derive from the ocean.
Coastline
ecosystem
•A coastal ecosystem is an
area where
"
land and water
come together.
•Coastal ecosystems provi
de habitat for a wide
variety of marine plants
and animals as well as
provide resources and
homes to humans around
Effects of global warming on
coastline
1.Thawing permafrost
As Earth's climate warms,
the permafrost is thawing.
That means the ice inside
the permafrost melts, leaving
behind water and soil. ...
As permafrost thaws, microbes
begin decomposing this material.
This process releases greenhouse
gases like carbon dioxide and
methane to the atmosphere.
2.Drought
Increasing
drought frequency
has the potential to
affect land-based
natural and managed
ecosystems, coastal
systems, and both
freshwater quality and
quantity.
3.Floods
Heavy rainfall and snowfall events (which increase
the risk of flooding) are also generally becoming more
frequent. As Earth's climate has warmed, more frequent
and more intense weather events have both been
observed around the world.
4. Strugle for existence
Humans and wild animals face new challenges for
survival because of climate change. More frequent and
intense drought, storms, heat waves, rising sea levels,
melting glaciers and warming oceans can directly harm
animals, destroy the places they live.
Effect of global warming on
marine ecosystem
1.Coral bleaching
Warmer water temperatures can result in coral bleaching.
When water is too warm, corals will expel the algae
(zooxanthellae) living in their tissues causing the coral to turn
completely white. This is called coral bleaching.
 When corals are stressed by changes in conditions such as
temperature, light, or nutrients, they expel the symbiotic
algae living in their tissues, causing them to
turn completely white.
2.Altered lifestyle
Rising temperatures can directly affect the metabolism, life
cycle, and behaviour of marine species. For many species,
temperature serves as a cue for reproduction. Clearly, changes
in sea temperature could affect their successful breeding.
3.Stormy weather
Most scientists believe that global warming will herald a
new era of extreme and unpredictable weather.Tropical storms
and heavier rainfall
may increase and so too would the consequent physical
damage to coral reefs and other coral ecosystem.
4.Migration of marine
species
As the Occasion eans warm,
the location of the ideal water
temperature may shift for many
species. A study has shown that
fish in the North Sea have
moved further north or into
deeper water in response to
rising sea temperatures.
Increasing ocean
temperatures affect marine
species and ecosystems.
