Climate Change Affects Sea Level's and Temperature

As explained in the post before, the sea level's have been on the rise due to the dramatic melting of the glaciers, another problem that arises from constant glacier melting, and melting of the arctic ice, is sea surface temperatures. For one, warmer waters in shallow locations have contributed to a massive amount of dead corals, due to this catastrophic event, many coral animals have died or have been weakened greatly due to the loss of their homes, or feeding locations, also many animals have also died due to bleaching which is also closely linked to the process of warmed waters. Similarly to oceans, lakes are warming, the temperature worldwide has risen, the temperature rise increase algal bloom, in lakes, and favour invasive species, and lower lake levels. Referring back to warmer oceans, that also means that sharks would migrate down to past cold waters, including Vancouver, and Seattle, YIKES.
