Warmer oceanic water has a number of negative effects on marine mammals and other animals. Increased temperatures will make it impossible for some animals to survive.

*Global warming is the main cause of the warming of the oceans. As the temperature of the atmosphere rises and begins to heat the water and melt glaciers, the water grows warmer.

How does ocean life affect ocean currents?

It's more likely the other way around. Ocean currents affect ocean life. Perhaps in a subtle way, since all life on the planet affects the atmosphere, especially the algae in the oceans releasing oxygen, that ocean life affects the weather, which in turn affects the ocean currents. It's also possible that some "seaweed forests" slow the movement of currents.

How do ocean current affect climate ang aquatic life?

Ocean currents can affect climate by transferring heat from one region to another, thereby influencing temperature and precipitation patterns. They also help distribute nutrients and oxygen, which can impact marine ecosystems and biodiversity. Changes in ocean currents due to factors like global warming can disrupt these processes, affecting both climate and aquatic life.


HOW do temperature of ocean water affect oxygen levels in water?

As the temperature of ocean water increases, the solubility of oxygen in water decreases. Warmer water holds less dissolved oxygen than cooler water. This can lead to lower oxygen levels in the water, which can negatively impact marine life that rely on oxygen for survival.
