CLIMATE CHANGE

And it’s damaging effects

Mississippi Delta coastal wetlands

No ice… devastating to the Polar Bear

Sea Level Rise @ 20 meters

Something to think about!

Skinnerized Test Questions1. Why doesn’t glacier melt effect the rise in sea

level and land mass ice, like Antarctica, does? a) Glaciers are compiled of far less ice than Antarctica.

b) Glaciers displace a volume of water that has a weight equal to that of the glacier.

c) The surface area of Antarctica is greater allowing faster melting than glaciers.

d) Glaciers displace a volume of water that has a greater weight than that of the glacier.

2. What effect does sea level rise have on the wildlife community?

a) No effect. Wildlife can adapt to many situations or migrate if needed.

b) Devastating effect. Drastic change in wildlife could damage the entire ecosystem.

c) No effect. Natural selection will sort it all out. d) Devastating effect. Decreased wildlife means decreased car

accidents that rid the world of bad drivers.
