| Central Question: What factors lead to the change in biomes and what impact does that have on distribution? Guiding Thought Question: Take a look at the satellite imagery of the Aral sea to the right. The left side shows the Aral Sea as it was in 1989, the right side shows it in 2014. Theorize what could have possibly happened that would have caused it to undergo such a drastic change between 1989 and 2014. Today's Learning Objective: Students will investigate the ecological effects of humans on biomes and their locations by completing an inquiry based investigation of the North American Prairies and then taking notes on some of the geographic human and natural factors. |  |

I think the main reason for this change would be pollution in the ocean.

Climate change probably caused the sea to dry up.

I think that desertification is the reason for the big difference in the two photos.

erosin man. It wore down the banks and the water simply flowed away and spread out

I think that climate change has caused a drought by the Sea that caused it

did it have something to do with the amount of salt on the body of water? or maybe its swam away

humans used up resources and caused global warming as well as any tectonic changes that could've occurred

climate change probably caused the lake to evaporate over time

The land that the Sea used to lie on has dramatically risen, pushing the water out of the basin. Overuse of the sea also would be a factor to make the water level decrease.

The sea could have dried up because it was drained to use for farming and drinking water, or it could have dried up due to climate change.

Drought and warmer climate are possible explanations.

Drought could have caused the water to dry up and climate change could have caused the drought

There could be desertification or other climate changes that caused the water to dry up.

Reasons for this change include drought and an increasing temperature in the surrounding area.

If the climate were to become warmer or if the water was over used it could have dried up. Another reason could be land changes over time such as erosion.

There are a lot of factors that could have played into this. It could be erosion, climate change, but in my opinion a drought.

Warmer temperatures caused a drought and then it began to dry up.

The warming of the earth could have caused the water to evaporate

could've been a dam that was built that stops the water from getting to the sea

climate change or erosion could've wore down a portion of it allowing it to flow out into another area. The glacier could've carved at it or the water itself Leave a Reply. |
