My Investigation on Climate Change

ACIDIFICATION

DEFINITION: when too much acid is pumped into something it becomes acidic.

ACIDIFICATION: HOW DOES CLIMATE CHANGE CONTRIBUTE TO THE ACIDIFICATION OF OUR OCEANS?

It is bad for our ocean because the ph level drops the animals in the ocean will not be healthy enough to survive. this is because when we let carbon in the air 1/3 of it gets sucked up by the ocean witch sounds good but is really bad for the ocean because there is too much acid in it so it becomes bad for people and the animals in the ocean as well as the ocean itself.

DEFORESTATION

DEFINITION: removing trees and forest from a landscape

DEFORESTATION: HOW DOES DEFORESTATION AFFECT CLIMATE CHANGE?

It affects climate change because there is more carbon in the air because there are not enough trees to collect all the carbon. It is also bad for the water cycle because there is more runoff so there isn't enough water for the grass and other plants. It is bad for humans because there is not enough oxygen in the air for them to breath and there will soon be too much carbon in the air. It also affects the animals that live there because they don't have what we need to survive.

ICE CAP MELT

DEFINITION: when ice caps are melting

ICE CAP MELT: HOW DOES ICE CAP MELT AFFECT CLIMATE CHANGE?

It affects climate change because the sea level rises and all the freshwater from the ice will go into the ocean and ruin the coral and sensitive animals/plants. Also, the water from the artic would ruin the animals living on the ice like penguins because they use the ice for things like habitats.

WATER VAPOUR

DEFINITION: when water is evaporating.

WATER VAPOUR: HOW DOES  WATER VAPOUR AND EVAPORATION CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE?  

it is good for the water cycle but since it is getting too hot there is not as much water vapor for the earth. Water vapor is when the water is evaporating into the air. This is when the suns heat goes into the water and it can come off as steam. This steam goes into the air and evaporates as clouds.
