| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| coral bleaching description | when coral loses its color and dies |
| coral bleaching How does climate change impact this problem? | warming causes zoox (coral food) to migrate and then the coral loses its food source |
| Hurricanes description | the number of really powerful hurricanes is increasing |
| Hurricanes How does climate change impact this problem? | increasing air temperatures causes water temperature to increase which causes stronger, and more storms |
| Ocean pH description | oceans are becoming more acidic (lower pH) |
| Ocean pH How does climate change impact this problem? | water absorbs CO2. CO2 forms carbonic acid in the ocean. The Acid dissolves calcium carbonate shells. |
| Ecological Patterns Description | ecological zones move faster than organisms can adapt (climate changing too fast) |
| Ecological Patterns How does climate change impact this problem? | the world is heating up too fast |
| Effect on Poles Description | the poles affect the entire planet |
| Effect on Poles How Does Climate change impact this problem? | loss of ice caps causes more and more heat to be absorbed, which causes extra runoff and ocean issues |
| Gulfstream and Europe Description | gulfstream moves north or south and changes Europe's climate |
| Gulfstream and Europe How does climate change impact this problem? | Ice caps melt, which changes the point where ocean turnover happens, which changes the route of the current |
| weather | the condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place |
| atmosphere | the envelope of gases that surrounds the planet |
| ozone | a form of oxygen that has three oxygen atoms in each molecule instead of the usual two |
| water vapor | water in the from of a gas |
| El Nino | warm weather event that begins when an unusual pattern of winds forms over the western Pacific |
| El Nina | when surface waters in the eastern Pacific are colder than normal |
| global warming | the gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere |
| greenhouse gases | gases in the atmosphere that trap energy |
| Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) | a group of compounds that are a major cause of ozone depletion |
