Nearly _% of the U.S population lives in a coastal area that may be effect to sea level rises
30%

what are 3 effects of climate change mentioned in the powerpoint.
-Glaciers and snow/ice covered areas are starting to melt at a very rapid pace
-High temperature extremes
-Bodies of water are getting warmer and rising rapidly at higher rates
-There are many more extreme storms happening more often
300
A warmer ocean is...
a higher ocean
300
Flooding is 300%-900% more frequent than it was ___years ago
50 years ago
400
what has happened to the Athabasca glacier
it has melted at a high rate over the years which then causes the sea levels to rise from the ice and snow that melts
400
why does the water go up the straw in the experiment shown on video.
because when heat is added the water expands and it had nowhere to go so it had to go through the straw.
400
by 2100 what cities could be entirely drowned and underwater and unusable due to coastal flooding
Dhaka Bangladesh , Lagos Nigeria and Bangkok Thailand

what is climate change
Climate change is the change in the usual weather found in a place and the change of the natural weather patterns
500
How is thermal expansion causing the sea levels to rise?
The temperatures of the waters are getting much warmer than they should be, this is caused by the increasing global temperatures. Then causing the sea levels to increase at a significant rate.
