  1. Global Warming and Coral Bleaching By: Danny and Eleni

  2. What is Global Warming? • An increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere How did this happen?

  3. How does Global Warming affect our planet?

  4. Violent Storms: Distracts and Destroy our environment. • Climate Shifts: Change in temperature in our season. • Flora and Fauna: Extinctions. • Effects on Humans: No Natural Fresh Water, Fresh area and a HOT environment.

  5. Coral Bleaching • Coral bleaching refers to the loss of color of corals due to stress-induced expulsion of symbiotic unicellular algae.

  6. Cause of Coral Bleaching • Temperature • Solar Irradiance • Sub aerial Exposure • Sedimentation • Fresh Water Dilution • Inorganic Nutrients • Xenobiotics • Epizootics schedule

  7. How does Coral Bleaching affect the environment? • Destroys the habitat of marine organisms • Results in the migration of organisms to other areas where they may cause adverse competition for food and a larger scale the slow growth of some populations • Destruction of food chains and webs • Erosion of coastlines and beaches when they fail to brake the surge of waves
