Dec Warming Sea Level Species Climate Change Bio Affected

Front climate change and how bio affected if global warming continues 4.2.1(f)
Back
climate change
- warming trend, water vapour inc as warmer air holds more, inc sea-level rises (as sea absorbing heat, expanding sea water, causing sea-level rise), less glaciers/ice caps cause sea-level rise

how bio affected if global warming continues
- melting ice caps dec habitats so less plant and animal species in this region
- rising sea-levels could flood land, dec habitats
- inc temps and dec rainfall lead to more xerophytes, killing non-drought resistent species of plant, dec dependent animal species
