Marine life is exposed, higher temperature causing more coral bleaching and more species move into deeper water to find new homes, furthermore, it is increasing ocean acidity and reducing oxygen level in deeper levels of the sea, that is all has a huge effect on marine life cycle, and behavior of marine species including its metabolism. However, the fact that mankind are responsible for climate fluctuation does not alter the danger we are in, as extreme heat, will lead to other serious issues. for example, heat waves, heavy downpours and flooding will affect infrastructure, sea level rise, health, air and water …show more content…
This dirty water can carry some very dangerous bacteria that cause diseases and this considered as one of the biggest unseen risks of floods.
