What will happen to aquatic life if the water they live in becomes too warm?

Well, like polar bears and seals they need the water cold because they need the ice to be on. The ice is like a landing so they can watch from above and dive in and get their prey. If the ice melts then it will be hard to do that and some polar bears can drown if there isn't enough ice. Plus they are like humans in a way. We live at a certain temperature and our body is used to it. It would be like taking a human from Alaska and putting them into Arizona in the summer. The temperature is very different and it would be hard for that person to get used to it, if they lived where it's normally cool/cold. The fish and plant life are used to cold water so having warm water could kill them. Not all creatures can get used to new changes.

What would happen to aquatic life if the density of ice was greater thatn water?
Probable the aquatic life would be impossible.
What is life in the water?
Aquatic life
What is the definition of aquatic life?
Operating or living or growing in water; "boats are aquatic vehicles"; "water lilies are aquatic plants"; "fish are aquatic animals".
What would happen if ice were not less dense than water?
If ice were not less dense than water, ice would form from the bottom up in bodies of water, freezing the aquatic life, and possibly killing off most of the aquatic life every winter.
Water has sufficient dissolved oxygen to sustain aquatic life?
Water does have sufficient dissolved oxygen to sustain aquatic life. This is true because aquatic life has adapted to the limited oxygen using gills.
If water contracted on freezing what implications might this have for aquatic life?
If water contracted on freezing, it would have catastrophic implications for aquatic life. Instead of the ice staying on top at the surface of the water, it would sink if it contracted. This would kill aquatic life.
Why is Life Aquatic?
life is not all aquatic some lives are terrestrial and others are aquatic terrestrial- lives or grows on land aquatic- lives or grows in water
What is in the river?
Water, sediment and aquatic life.
Are penguins an aquatic species?
no they swim but they are not aquatic because they do not spend their whole life in water
What is entrophication?
Eutrophication is a process where a body of water becomes overly enriched with nutrients, leading to excessive growth of algae and other aquatic plants. This can result in oxygen depletion and harm to aquatic life, disrupting the ecosystem balance.
What is a factor that affects aquatic life in the ocean?
Fishing is a factor that affects aquatic life in the ocean. So is water pollution.
How does anomalous expansion of water help aquatic organisms in cold climate?
Aquatic life is benefited by the anomalous expansion of water because the water freezes top to bottom, not bottom to top. If it froze bottom to top, then the aquatic life would be pushed up, up, up, towards the surface of the water. Since it goes top to bottom, and the water at the bottom remains at 277K, the Aquatic life can survive there.
