ENGLISH WITH NEWS
Rise in Ocean Temperatures: A Dire Warning for the Planet
This week, scientists have reported an alarming rise in global ocean temperatures, which reached record-breaking levels. The unprecedented warming of our oceans is linked to climate change and has far-reaching consequences for marine life, weather patterns, and coastal communities. Experts warn that if this trend continues, it could lead to more frequent and severe hurricanes, coral reef die-offs, and disruptions to the global food chain.
Key Words:
Climate Change (n.) - Long-term alterations in temperature and weather patterns, mainly due to human activities.
Example: Climate change is accelerating the rise in ocean temperatures, threatening ecosystems worldwide.
Marine Life (n.) - The plants, animals, and other organisms that live in the ocean.
Example: The rise in ocean temperatures is endangering marine life, particularly coral reefs.
Hurricanes (n.) - A type of storm with strong winds and heavy rain, often forming over warm ocean waters.
Example: Warmer ocean temperatures could result in more powerful hurricanes.
The record-high ocean temperatures serve as a stark reminder of the urgent need to address climate change and protect our planet's future. Governments, organizations, and individuals must work together to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the impact of global warming. (Washington Post)
