Corals and many other marine species live in coral reefs. Most of these species can only live between 1 and 2 meters underwater. What would most likely happen to a coral reef habitat if ocean levels suddenly began to rise?

Answer :

Answer:  

If ocean levels suddenly began to rise, coral reefs will be affected badly. The disappearance of sedimentation will lead to the chocking of corals.  

Explanation:

Sea water rise due to global warming is the biggest threat to the habitats of coral reefs. When hurled by steep changes in temperatures or nutrients, coral reefs tends to dispossess the algae living in their tissues thus turning pale white, this is called as coral bleaching.  

An increase in the carbon dioxide in the ocean, ocean acidification , changes in storm patterns and changes in precipitation also affects the corals adversely.
