 | Central Question: How do changes at the earth's polar regions have an effect on other parts of the planet? Guiding Thought Question: Develop a reason why people should pay attention to the environmental changes in the Arctic and Antarctic, and why they should care. Today's Learning Objective: Students will examine specific ecological issues related to the arctic and Antarctic and further examine how they can have a wider impact on other parts of the planet. |

People should care about the Articand Antarctic because it’s like the freezer of the world. When the freezer works you do not need to pay much attention to it. If the power goes out in your house you worry about the freezer because the ice cream is going to melt if the freezer is out. It’s like the Artic and Antarctic because the ice cream is melting and we have to get the power back on.

Climate change is going to be one of the biggest environmental changes because of the melting of ice caps... which causes habitat loss as well and only goes down from there when it starts to effect us.

People should pay attention to the environmental changes because ice melting causes ranges and habitats of species to disappear which can then lead to the extinction of many species, like the polar bear. Without polar bears many species of seals will overpopulate and over dominate the Arctic which will then deplete other food sources like fish, which will take from other species who rely on the fish.

the reason that temperatures in the polar regions are so important is because it regulates the temperature of the ocean.

If all the ice melts the sea level will rise by a lot. We will also lose many animals and ecosystems.

The arctic and antarctic should be paid attention to because their temperatures should be always fairly cold. If they start warming up and losing ice, something is definitely wrong.

The reason we should care is because the melting in ice caps--from climate change--can cause a rise in sea level. It also will play a part in tempature, when the tempature in the arctic changes it'll change the migrations and oceans.

Melting ice raises water levels, flooding coastal areas. And the Arctic wind patterns could change shifting the wind and weather for the rest of the world too

Climate change and melting ice. The sea levels will rise, and the ocean water will dilute, affecting coastal regions and certain species.

Even though we are not close to the antarctic or arctic, if they melt the sea levels will rise and we will loose a lot of our coastal cities and cities along rivers. Habitats will be destroyed, and many animals will go extinct.

People should care about the changes in Arctic and Antarctic because it affects a lot of animals in big ways, and it shows really well how climate change is affecting the globe

It is important because we can see the effects of climate change more drastically here, so when we analyze the climate change around the world we can look at the arctic as a representation of how things are getting worse

If these places start to warm and melt than sea levels will rise and you will lose a lot of land around the coasts

Because the ice melting will not only affect the animals that live there but also people who don't live near there at all. It will cause the sea levels to rise so coast cities will be at risk, and it will cause more precipitation so flash floods can happen in lots of places.

With global warming the melting of the ice can cause habitat loss and ocean temps would rise

If the Arctic and Antarctic would change temperature then that could possibly shift the climate everywhere else.

It is an indicator of raising temperatures that could effect our agricultural production.

because in the long run itll effect them. Leave a Reply. |
