Answer 1

Coral bleaching is primarily a result of high acid content in the oceans combined with warm temperatures. When corals are exposed to these conditions, they become stressed and expel the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, causing them to turn white or "bleach." Low acid content and decreasing temperatures are not typically associated with coral bleaching.
