If the water is too hot or cold it can affect the species living there. Coral is especially sensitive to temperature. On average the water temperature in the winter in Maui, is 75 °F.
All in which are man made influences that affect the ocean greatly. It is predicted that by the year 2050 90% of the coral reefs on earth will be dead or threatened. Not only that but soil erosion, algae growth from fertilizer runoff, increased UV exposure, and damage from fishing and diving are just adding to the problem. However, the
Kirsten Markham Mr.Cole World History AP February 22 2017 Changes and Continuities Essay From 1450 to 1750 the Atlantic World consisted of Western Europe, Africa, and the Americas.

Nasca, Peru is an iconic sight for ancient headless burials.

Continental drift makes the Earth’s climate change in many ways, ocean currents being one of them. When a continent is close to a large body of water, the water averages the temperature and administers more moisture. The ocean currents are responsible for moving water around the Earth. If land masses move closer to the North Pole, the
The Marine Biome Written by Molly Joyce A horse--like seahorse is eating shrimp with its long snout when the scuttling sound of a 10--legged red crab arises from the sandy ocean floor, its hard shell upsetting the sandy ocean floor. The crab grabs at the seahorse with its claws snapping ferociously. Crabs are one of the few animals that eat seahorses, along with some species of fish and rays.
