My Investigation on climate change
ACIDIFICATION
What is happening to the oceans?
It is absorbing the C20 which is carbon dioxide as a result its making more acid.
What does this do to shellfish?
They won't be able to grow so the fish won't be as big and they won't be as big for us to eat
HOW DOES CLIMATE CHANGE CONTRIBUTE TO THE ACIDIFICATION OF OUR OCEANS?
Ocean acidification refers to decreasing levels of pH in the ocean, which makes the sea more acidic. It is the long-term change in seawater chemistry due to the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Roughly 30 percent of human-made CO2 is absorbed by the oceans.

DEFINITION: Trees being cut down
What are trees used for?
To help us breath and provide oxygen and keeps the water cycle going and running smoothly.
HOW DOES DEFORESTATION AFFECT THE CLIMATE?
It stops the water cycle from happening which means that weird things happen like more floods and etc. It can stop oxygen from getting released from the trees because the trees will stop absorbing the carbon dioxide. Trees collect water when it rains and if people cut down the trees the trees can't collect the water and they can't create oxygen.

ICE CAP MELT
DEFINITION: When the water is melting
If all the ice melted what would happen? If all the water in the antarctic and everywhere else our water levels will rise to 230ft tall and land area would shrink significantly. There is 13 million cubic meters. If all of it were to melt the entire the while earth would feel the impact. Central china would completely disappear beneath the ocean in total 1-2 billion people could die/ displaced because of this.
HOW DOES ICE CAP MELT AFFECT CLIMATE CHANGE? Sea levels would rise and 1-2 billion people alongside central china could be displaced.

WATER VAPOR
DEFINITION: Water in its gaseous state, especially in the atmosphere and at a temperature below the boiling point. Water vapor in the atmosphere serves as the raw material for cloud and rain formation.
HOW DOES WATER VAPOR AND EVAPORATION CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE?
