Climate Change and Coral Reefs
Coral reefs are often called the “rainforests of the sea” because they support so much life. However, rising ocean temperatures caused by climate change are leading to coral bleaching, a process where corals lose their color and vital algae. As the reefs die, many species that depend on them for food and shelter are also at risk. Some scientists are studying heat-resistant corals in hopes of helping reefs survive future warming.
How does the author develop the central idea?
By describing the beauty of reefs
By comparing reefs to forests
By giving personal opinions
By explaining a cause (warming oceans) and its effects (coral death)
