Biodiversity Climate Habitat Describe Ways Affected Change Melting

This card describes how climate change affects biodiversity in four or more ways: melting of polar ice caps, rising sea levels, higher temperatures with less rainfall, and changes in insect life cycles.

Bu kart, iklim değişikliğinin biyoçeşitliliği nasıl etkilediğini dört veya daha fazla şekilde açıklar: buzulların erimesi, deniz seviyesinin yükselmesi, daha yüksek sıcaklıklar ve daha az yağış ve değişen böcek yaşam döngüleri.

Front Describe 4 ways in which biodiversity may be affected by climate change.
Back Biodiversity & climate change:
  • Melting of polar ice caps - extinction of species living in those regions
  • Rising sea levels - flood low-lying land, destroying habitat and reducing amount of available habitat
  • Higher temps, less rainfal - xerophytes dominating 
  • Insect life cycles and populations change - they are pollinators so if they range changes, plantsa left behind will go extinct
