 Oceans Are Turning Green

Significant Change

A recent study by the UK's National Oceanography Centre disclosed a significant change in the color of the world's oceans.

Region

It is observed that tropical and subtropical regions are the areas where changes in color are noticed.

They found that 56% of the world's sea area has undergone a change in color since 2002.

Presence Of Plankton

The color is changed due to the high presence of plankton, which is a microscopic organism.

Heat caused by global warming is considered to be the reason for the changes.
