Ocean Temperature Rise

Ocean temperature rise refers to the gradual increase in the average temperature of the world’s oceans due to global warming. As greenhouse gases trap more heat in the atmosphere, some of that heat is absorbed by the oceans. This process causes ocean waters to warm, which can affect marine life, lead to more intense storms, and contribute to the melting of ice caps. Since oceans cover about 70% of the Earth’s surface, their temperature rise is a significant indicator of climate change and has far-reaching impacts on global ecosystems and weather patterns.
