Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Many scientists believe that oceans will not look the same in the future. Oceans will change their colour. The reason behind this scenario will be climatic change as it will make the blue and green colour of the oceans bluer and greener, respectively. Many scientific researchers have proven that it will stimulate the growth of many creatures that live in oceans and affect the colour we see. The reason we find an ocean blue is the combination is the sunlight’s interaction with water molecules and whichever creatures live in the water. The molecules presented in water absorb all colours except blue which is reflected back. The green colour of the water is because of Phytoplankton which are tiny microscopic organisms like plants that use sunlight to create a chemical energy which is essential for their survival.
