Explanation:
Marine animals is greatly affected by the pH of water. If the pH of the water decreases, the marine animals could not survive and die due to acidification of water. Marine animals grow well in optimum pH of the water. If the water is alkaline i. e. having high pH, the marine animals are adversely affected and decrease occurs in the population of fishes and other marine animals.
Jackrabbits live in deserts, and therefore must release excess body heat through the surface area of their ears to avoid quickly overheating and dying.
