Causes and Impacts of Global Warming

Sea-level rise is primarily caused by melting ice from the poles due to increasing temperatures. Global warming leads to species extinction as many cannot adapt to rapid temperature changes, exemplified by polar bears facing habitat loss and overheating. The impacts of global warming include altered weather patterns, flooding in coastal areas, wildlife extinction, and increased human health risks.

1. What are the causes of sea-level rise?

The causes of the sea-level rise are because of the heat and
the temperature, the ice from the north and south pole is
melting that’s why the sea-level is rising.
2. How is the extinction of species related to global
warming?
The extinction of species is related to global warming
because of the sudden rise of temperature, some species are
unable to adapt to the changes. One example of a nearly
extinct animal is the polar bears. The ice, glaciers, or the
habitat of polar bears were melting slowly due to
temperature, other than that, some of the polar bears were
overheating and dying, because of the heat that’s why they
were nearly extinct.
3. Describe the possible impact of global warming on
the following:
 Weather patterns- The rainy season will be longer
due to global warming. The water evaporates faster and
creates a powerful storm. When the rainy season is
longer, the food crops will be destroyed due to storms
and rains, as a result, shortage of food.
 Sea level- The possible impact of this is that some of
the countries will be flooded.
 Wildlife- Some of the animals or wildlife will be extinct
like the Polar bears, underwater species, and more.
Because of the temperature, the animals near the
equator will go up the globe. When that happens, some
of the countries will have less wildlife.
 Human health- Humans will become more prone to
viruses and other illnesses.
