Explanation:

The greatest threats to reefs are rising water temperatures and ocean acidification linked to rising carbon dioxide levels. High water temperatures cause corals to lose the microscopic algae that produce the food corals need—a condition known as coral bleaching.

Answer:

The greatest threats to reefs exist in rising water temperatures and ocean acidification connected to rising carbon dioxide levels.

Explanation:

The ocean is a powerful symbol. Throughout history, it has been seen as a sign of power and strength. Today, it is often seen as a character of mystery, endlessness, calmness, hope, and even truth.

A species is often described as a group of organisms that can reproduce naturally with one another and make fertile offspring.

A coral reef exists made of thin layers of calcium carbonate. Coral polyps create a living mat over a calcium carbonate skeleton. Stony corals (or scleractinians) exist the corals primarily responsible for laying the foundations of and building up reef structures.

The greatest threats to reefs exist in rising water temperatures and ocean acidification connected to rising carbon dioxide levels. High water temperatures induce corals to lose the microscopic algae that produce the food corals require—a condition understood as coral bleaching.
