We\u2019re all familiar with those hot periods when we suffer from the weather, but the underwater world also has to deal with them. At present a long-lasting heat wave is threatening 12,000 square kilometres of coral reefs, with almost unimaginable consequences \u2013 it is feared that the heat wave will cause the biggest die-out of corals in history. This is the warning of the American oceanographic agency, the NOAA, and the University of Queensland in Australia.<\/p>\n<h2>Are underwater heat waves common?<\/h2>\n<p>Underwater heat waves are caused by global warming. The current heat wave has lasted since 2014, and it is expected that by the end of 2015 38% of coral reefs will be affected and 5% will have been completely killed off. The prediction at present is that this heat wave will last until at least mid-2016.<\/p>\n<h2>The heat wave, also known as The Blob, coincides with El Ni\u00f1o<\/h2>\n<p>The heat wave consists of a huge volume of warm water, also referred to as The Blob, which has already caused an incredible amount of damage. At present some 12,000 square kilometres of coral reefs are under threat. Like in 1998 and 2010, experts are issuing an alert, because this time, just as in the previous occasions, the heat wave coincides with El Ni\u00f1o, which occurs every four to ten years.<\/p>\n<h2>Corals are important to ecosystems, which are disrupted by global warming<\/h2>\n<p>The coral reefs are very important to underwater ecosystems, being crucial to approximately one-quarter to one-third of all sea life. This means that when coral reefs die the entire ecosystem is slowly disrupted, with almost unimaginable consequences.<br \/>\nAside from the direct effect on the corals, warmer water also influences other factors. For example, many fish species require more energy to propel themselves in warming seawater, while there will also be less food available for them.<\/p>\n<p>*Source: http:\/\/www.pnas.org\/html\/early\/2015\/10\/06\/1510856112.abstract<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":42848,"menu_order":110,"template":"","format":"standard","class_list":["post-42855","red_de_zee","type-red_de_zee","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Corals are under threat from global warming.
