What causes the changes of seasons on earth?

• The flow of oceanic currents

• The tilt of Earth’s axis as Earth moves around the sun

• The distribution of rain influenced by mountains

• Amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

Coral reefs are dying or “bleaching” because there is a change in the pH level of the ocean. We call this process “ocean acidification.” This type of data can be used as…

• Evidence to explain why fishes do not swim near dying coral reefs

• Evidence to support the claim that Climate Change is real

• Evidence to support fishes need to change their habitat from rivers to oceans

• Evidence to support the hole in the ozone is real
