One
of
the
biggest
impacts
of
global
warming
on
oceans
is
that
it
has
made
the
ocean
water
grow
warmer.
The
oceans
absorb
the
heat
from
the
air
and
it
results
in
the
warming
of
the
ocean
water.
Research
shows
that
all
the
oceans
on
our
planet
have
grown
warmer
especially
in
the
last
fifty
years.
It
is
the
top
layer
of
the
ocean
which
has
been
worst
affected
by
the
atmospheric
heat
though
even
the
water
at
the
bottom
hasn't
been
left
unaffected.
Data
collated
by
the
researchers
indicates
that
the
top
layer
of
the
oceans
is
growing
warmer
by
0.2
degree
Fahrenheit
with
every
passing
decade.
The
temperature
of
the
ocean
water
is
likely
to
rise
in
the
times
to
come
and
this
would
impact
both
the
top
layer
as
well
as
the
water
that
lies
deep
inside
the
oceans.
The
ocean
water
is
not
only
getting
warmer
but
is
also
becoming
acidic
owing
to
the
absorption
of
harmful
gases
such
as
carbon
and
methane.
Chemical
reaction
caused
due
to
the
absorption
of
these
gases
by
the
ocean
water
is
reducing
its
pH
level.
The
acidification
of
ocean
water
is
harming
the
marine
organisms
as
well
as
the
overall
atmosphere.
Some
of
the
harmful
effects
of
this
phenomenon
include
decreased
immunity
of
marine
creatures
and
coral
bleaching.
Oceans
play
a
major
role
in
determining
Earth's
climate.
Global
warming
is
impacting
the
oceans
which
are
impacting
the
climate
to
a
large
extent.
Erratic
climatic
conditions
being
experienced
in
today's
times
are
a
result
of
global
warming
and
its
impact
on
the
oceans.
While
certain
places
on
Earth
are
experiencing
extreme
rainfall
others
are
suffering
from
drought.
Coastal
areas
have
become
more
prone
to
floods
due
to
the
rise
in
the
ocean
level
because
of
the
melting
of
ice
caps
and
glaciers.
Marine
creatures
are
one
of
the
most
beautiful
creations
of
God.
We
adore
the
cute
penguins
that
spend
most
part
of
their
lives
in
the
oceans,
love
the
semi-aquatic
cuddly
seals
and
are
mesmerized
at
the
sight
of
multi-hued
fishes
shining
in
the
water.
But
do
we
know
how
much
harm
we
are
causing
to
these
innocent
creatures?
The
rise
in
the
level
of
the
greenhouse
gases
is
resulting
in
global
warming
and
this
in
turn
is
having
numerous
negative
repercussions
on
the
ocean
life.
Several
species
of
fishes
and
other
marine
creatures
have
lost
their
life
due
to
the
rise
in
the
temperature
of
the
ocean
water
and
ocean
acidification.
Many
have
gone
extinct
and
several
others
are
likely
to
disappear
soon.
