Effects of global warming on oceans 
Rising sea temperature
Rising sea levels
Melting poles
Ocean acidification
What greenhouse gases affect the ocean
greenhouse gases such as methane, chlorofluorocarbons, and hydrofluorocarbons, that remain in the atmosphere for just a 1-10 years which cause sea levels to rise for 100 after the gases left the atmosphere.
How is climate affected
Transfer of heat via ocean currents, convection, conduction and radiation
Ocean life
Ocean has absorbed 80% of heat in atmosphere
Oceans cover 70% of earth
Many species forced to migrate so they maintain temperature because global warming has caused the water to warm up.The warm water is not habitable for many species.
Warming oceans impact life in the ocean also impacts humans because fish and other protein food sources are vital to humans.If the ocean continues warming up the way it does humans won't have any fishes and tourism economies will be affected

1901-2015, temperature rose at an average rate of 0.13°F per decade
coral bleaching happens when a is stress response caused by high sea temperatures that can lead to coral dying
The ocean absorb a large amount of the carbon dioxide released by human activities, the oceans become acidic.
Ocean acidification makes it harder for mollusks and other shelled creatures to build calcium carbonate shells
Higher ocean acidification makes it harder for marine life to breathe
directly affect the metabolism, life cycle, and behaviour of ocean life
Burning fossil fuels that increase greenhouse gases levels atmosphere alter chemical composition of seawater making it more acidification
Glaciers and polar ice melts making sea levels rise
Affects humans because impacts the availability of sea food for humans.
Humans impacted because humans and industries relay on ocean for food and natural resources
Rising greenhouse gases cause increased atmospheric warming which lead to polar ice melting
Melted sea ice results in the loss of vital habitat for animals in Arctic and Antarctic.
The ocean’s heat capacity is about thousand times larger than the heat capacity the atmosphere,
100 million tons of carbon dioxide is derived from the atmosphere.
Millions upon millions of tiny ocean plant life called phytoplankton are responsible for doing this, through photosynthesis
When carbon dioxide dissolves in oceans carbonic acid is main. This results in higher acidity, mainly near the surface of the ocean
Carbonic acid is the cause of reproductive disorders in some fish
Carbon in oceans impacted shelled creatures
Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases in the ocean
oceans absorb about a 1/3 of man-made CO2 emissions, roughly 22 million tons a day.
Heat is transferred between the surface of the ocean and other bodies of water and the atmosphere through radiation, convection, and turbulent heat exchange, the evaporation, and condensation above the ocean.
When air is in contact with the ocean is at a different temperature than the sea surface, heat transfer by conduction takes place.
The difference in temperature between the inland cities and cities surrounded by water is the drives the development of prevailing wing. In the winter months, the much colder air over a continent flows outward toward the ocean, and in the summer months, the much hotter air over a continent draws moist air inland, bringing forth summer rains
Caused by expansion of sea water as it warms
Ice loss from Greenland and western antartica make sea levels rise
When seawater reaches inland, it can cause destructive erosion, wetland flooding, agricultural soil contamination, and lost habitat.
Big storms and high sea levels can lead to destructive storms
Higher sea levels means more floods
the oceans to rise between 11 and 38 inches (28 to 98 centimeters) by 2100, enough to swamp many of the cities along the U.S. East Coast. More dire estimates, including a complete meltdown of the Greenland ice sheet, place sea level rise to 23 feet (7 meters), enough to submerge London.https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/global-warming/sea-level-rise/
Global sea level rose 8 inches in last 100 years
coral bleaching results in the starvation, shrinkage, and death of the corals that are needed for thousands of marine life that live on coral reefs.
Many fish migrated because their body was not capable of living in the rising temperature
Rising sea levels are drowning wetlands, coral reef and sea grass meadows
Destroys coastal habitats ex-sea turtle nesting near beach
634 million people that are directly threatened by sea level rise
ocean current systems
Causes:changes in ocean temperature and wind patterns
Species that depend on ocean currents for reproduction and nurtraints will be harmed
Migratory patterns affected
Play major role in maintaining climate
Land temperatures change as ocean currents take on cooler or warmer waters
algae production in polar marine environments depends on sea ice
The oceans transfer heat from one location to another through large ocean currents
The oceans transfer heat from one location to another through large ocean currents
Without ocean currents, regional temperatures would be more harsh and extreme they would be super hot at the equator and cold toward the poles and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable to life.
