How does elevated ocean temperature primarily affect coral reefs?
It causes coral bleaching.
It increases the growth of marine algae.
It enhances the color of corals.
It improves the oxygen supply in water.
What is one adaptive response of corals to changes in ocean temperature?
Increasing the density of their calcium carbonate skeletons.
Altering their symbiotic algae composition.
Growing in deeper waters only.
Slowing down their growth rate.
What role does genetic diversity play in coral's ability to adapt to rising ocean temperatures?
It has no effect on adaptability.
Higher genetic diversity increases resilience to stress.
All corals have the same genetic makeup.
Genetic diversity makes corals more sensitive to temperature changes.
