Coral Bleaching
Coral Bleaching
The process where corals lose their color due to stress, often caused by rising ocean temperatures and acidity.
Ocean Acidification
Ocean Acidification
The increase in acidity of the ocean waters, primarily caused by absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Study Notes
Coral Bleaching and Deep-Sea Ecosystems
- The primary cause of coral bleaching is the rise in sea temperature, which causes the coral to expel its algal symbionts, turning white.
- Deep-sea ecosystems are vulnerable due to the slow rate of species migration and adaptation in these environments.
- The primary focus of the video is on the impact of coral bleaching and the vulnerability of deep-sea ecosystems.
- A major consequence of coral bleaching is the loss of coral reefs, which are essential for marine biodiversity and ecosystem health.
- The slow rate of species migration and adaptation in deep-sea ecosystems contributes to their vulnerability.
