New cards

Global warming

  • average global temperature is rising

2
New cards

Changes in polar and glacial ice

  • Rising global temperatures decrease the extent of coverage of the Earth’s oceans by sea ice

  • Continued glacier shrinking would contribute to global sea level rise, increasing inputs of freshwater

  • Some glaciers will disappear

3
New cards

Rising sea levels

  • Due to melting ice and thermal expansion

  • Coastal areas are more vulnerable to natural disasters as sea levels rise

4
New cards

Ocean acidity

  • Increased level of CO2 in the atmosphere leads to increased acidity levels in the ocean

  • CO2(g) + H2O = H2CO3(aq)

5
New cards

Changing storm intensity and frequency

  • Increasing storm intensity

6
New cards

Changing wind and precipitation patterns

  • The speed, frequency and direction of winds have unpredictably increased

  • Increased temperature can also affect precipitation patterns
