Scientists have been studying threats to coral reefs. The percent of reefs affected by various threats are shown in the figure below. A future global temperature increase may affect all categories on the figure. Predict which category would change the most from global temperature increases and propose a testable question that scientists could study.
a. The biggest effect will be on the far right column that includes thermal stress with a greater percentage of reefs falling into the low and medium threat categories. Scientists could test whether reefs that have greater fishing risk also have greater thermal risk.
b. The biggest effect will be on the far right column that includes thermal stress, with a greater percentage of reefs falling into the high and very high threat categories. Scientists could test whether reefs that have greater temperature changes have greater increases in watershed-based pollution.
c. The biggest effect will be on the far left column that includes fishing, with a greater percentage of reefs falling into the high and very high threat categories. Scientists could test whether increased fishing causes increased marine-based pollution.
d. The biggest effect will be on the far left column that includes fishing, with a greater percentage of reefs falling into the low and medium threat categories. Scientists could test whether reefs that have greater temperature changes have greater increases in fishing threats.
