Question

emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the earth, trapping the suns heat and raising temperatures.
a type of photosynthetic algae that corals have a symbiotic relationship with.
a process where coral is stressed and expels its symbionts which makes it appear to turn white.
a certain range of environmental conditions under which organisms can perform their life activities.
water that melts from glaciers and run off the land and into the oceans.
frozen freshwater that sits on top of landmasses.
in the ocean as liquid water warms, it takes up a larger volume.
seawater is slightly basic on the ph scale, however as it absorbs co2, it causes the water to acidify.

background extinction # biodegradable # biological accumulation # biological magnification # climate change

eutrophication # greenhouse gases # habitat fragmentation # harmful algal blooms # invasive species

marine debris # mass extinction # ocean - based sources # overexploitation # point source pollution # pollutant

Explanation:

1. Emissions acting like a blanket are greenhouse gases, which trap heat and contribute to climate - change.
2. Zooxanthellae are the photosynthetic algae in a symbiotic relationship with corals.
3. Coral bleaching occurs when corals expel symbionts under stress and turn white.
4. The range of tolerance is the environmental conditions within which organisms can function.
5. Meltwater is water from melting glaciers flowing into the oceans.
6. Glacial ice is frozen freshwater on landmasses.
7. Thermal expansion is the increase in volume of ocean water as it warms.
8. Ocean acidification is the acidification of seawater due to CO2 absorption.

Answer:

1. Greenhouse Gases
2. Zooxanthellae
3. Coral Bleaching
4. Range of Tolerance (environmental)
5. Meltwater
6. Glacial Ice
7. Thermal Expansion
8. Ocean Acidification
