How Climate Change Affects Ocean Life | Compilation

The video explores the interconnected effects of climate change on marine life, focusing on pelagic red crabs, mud snails, and whales. It highlights how climate events like El Nino and La Nina impact marine species and discusses the role of whales in carbon storage. The potential of seaweed farming as a sustainable solution to reduce the carbon footprint is also examined.

What is the primary diet of pelagic red crabs?

• Small fish

• Phytoplankton

• Seaweed

• Coral

What climate event is associated with the mass stranding of red crabs?

• La Nina

• El Nino

• Monsoon

• Hurricane

How do marine heat waves affect the distribution of red crabs?

• They remain in place

• They dive deeper

• They move southward

• They move northward

What is a significant consequence of the wrong-way migration of the three line mud snail?

• Increased population

• Decreased survival rates

• Improved habitat conditions

• Stable population

What is the primary reason for the three line mud snail's habitat shift?

• Food scarcity

• Temperature changes

• Ocean currents

• Predator presence

How do whales contribute to reducing atmospheric CO2?

• By eating phytoplankton

• Through their iron-rich waste

• By migrating to colder waters

• By reducing ocean noise

What is the main nutrient in whale waste that benefits phytoplankton?

• Iron

• Calcium

• Potassium

• Magnesium

What is a potential benefit of seaweed farming?

• Higher fish populations

• More ocean currents

• Reduced carbon emissions

• Increased ocean acidity

How can seaweed farming help in agriculture?

• As a pest control method

• By providing shade

• As a substitute for synthetic fertilizers

• By increasing soil erosion

What is a limitation of seaweed farming?

• It produces harmful emissions

• It requires a lot of land

• It can only be done in freshwater

• It needs specific ocean conditions
