Consider the following statements regarding Marine Heat Wave
It occurs when the surface temperature of a particular region of the sea rises above the average temperature.
It damages marine habitats and also impacts coral reefs and species displacement.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
1 only
2 only
Both
None
Both statements are correct.
Researchers found that marine heat waves (MHWs) deep in oceans may be “significantly under-reported” and caused by ocean currents.
A marine heat wave is an extreme weather event.
It occurs when the surface temperature of a particular region of the sea rises to 3 or 4 degree Celsius above the average temperature for at least five days.
MHWs can last for weeks, months or even years, according to the US government’s agency National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Impacts
MHWs are prolonged temperature events that can cause severe damage to marine habitats, such as impacts to coral reefs and species displacement.
These events are becoming more frequent due to global warming, with notable occurrences off Australia's East Coast and Tasmania, as well as the northeast Pacific coast and North Atlantic.
Higher ocean temperatures, which are associated with MHWs, can make storms like hurricanes and tropical cyclones stronger.
MHWs also fuel the growth of invasive alien species, which can be destructive to marine food webs.
Hence option 3rd is correct.
