global warming and marine pollution
Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing changes in climate patterns. Marine pollution refers to the introduction of harmful substances, such as plastics, oil, chemicals, or sewage, into the oceans, seas, or other bodies of water, resulting in detrimental effects on marine ecosystems, including degradation of habitats, harm to marine animals, and negative impacts on human health.
