A timeshare company has purchased an island and begun clearing it for building the timeshare. How will the clearing of the vegetation on the island affect the surrounding ocean water? (3 points) Algae growth will increase and destroy corals.
Animal habitats will be abundant.
Storms are likely to be more violent near islands.
Deforestation releases more CO2 into the atmosphere.

The correct answer is option A
The corals need clean and clear water that can allow the direct sunlight to pass to through it and reach corals.
The sediments and the plankton on the surface of the water can cloud the water and decreases the amount of sunlight reaching the corals (zooxanthellae)
As a result of this the coral population would decrease in population due to lack of sunlight.
