What is the most likely cause of the coral bleaching shown below?
Surface ocean temperatures of the eastern tropical Pacific are colder than average during an El Niño event.
An increase in the temperature of seawater is one possible cause of coral bleaching. The Global Coral Bleaching Events graph shows the relationship between the change in seawater temperature and three global coral bleaching events.
The change in seawater temperature is correlated with the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide graph shows how the amount of carbon dioxide in he atmosphere has changed since 1960.
