How does the melting of the polar ice caps caused by higher temperatures affect the rest of the hydrosphere?
Global Sea Levels are expected to rise.
What is the primary way that volcanoes and can trigger a mass extinction?
Gasses released by a massive volcanic event can cause catastrophic climate changes. Carbon dioxide will raise global temperatures. while sulfur dioxide will lower temperatures.
What effect has global warming had on shark populations?
I can only speculate but I wouldn't imagine global warming would have had much of an impact on global shark populations to date. Water takes a lot of energy to heat up and changes to global oceanic temperatures are less noticable than atmospheric temperatures. Sharks are cold-blooded so changes in the oceans' temperatures could potentially affect their metabolisms but I would suspect sharks would simply migrate to a more suitable area if one location became unfavourable. Most of the effects of global warming on oceanic ecosystems is through increased concentrations of CO2 in the water which can reduce the ability of invertebrate, such as corals and shellfish, to produce shells made from calcium carbonate. The main threat to shark populations is overharvesting by humans. I heard a statistic a few years ago (so don't know how correct it still is) that shark populations in the Mediterranean were ~3% of their historical size due to overfishing. I'm confident any impact of global warming is fairly irrelevant to the killing of sharks for foods such as shark fin soup.
How does global warming affect China?
Global warming is global, so it affecting China the same as other countries. Temperatures are rising, as are sea levels. Glaciers are melting and China's great rivers may lose their reservoirs of ice.
Which statement best explains how global warming may lead to an increase in the number and intensity of hurricanes?
Global warming may lead to an increase in the number and intensity of hurricanes because warmer ocean temperatures provide more energy for storm formation. Additionally, global warming can lead to changes in atmospheric conditions that favor the development and intensification of hurricanes.
How does earths shape affect global temperatures and wind patterns?
to blow
How will the increasing temperatures of global warming affect the conditions on earth?
In a word, adversely.
How does the ocean affect temperatures on the land?
Ask the smarty who caused Global Warming...
In the ocean Energy flow what is Global concentrations?
My topic is Ocean Energy Flow and my question is what is global concentrations.
What connection exists between global warming and human activities?
As long ago as the nineteenth century, scientists discovered that changes in the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide gases can result in corresponding changes in global average temperatures. However, they did not yet have sufficient evidence that carbon dioxide levels were beginning to increase or that global average temperatures were beginning to increase correspondingly. Since the 1970s, climate scientists have linked the rise of more than 35 per cent in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide to the concurrent rapid rise in global average temperatures. They have also proven that the increase in carbon dioxide levels are caused by human activities. So, joining the dots, global warming is caused by human activities.
Were there earlier fast changes in temperature other than global warming?
There have been changes in temperature in the past, but climate scientists say that average global temperatures have never risen as quickly as they are now.
How might changes in solar energy affect earth's climate?
global warming
How did the process of the drowning marshall islands start?
The Marshall Islands drowned due to global warming, which is melting the polar ice caps and causing rising ocean levels. Researchers have revealed that global warming is increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causing an extraordinary rise in global temperatures.
How does the melting of the polar ice caps caused by higher temperatures affect the rest of the hydrosphere?
Global Sea Levels are expected to rise.
What is the primary way that volcano's can trigger a mass extinction?
Gasses released by a massive volcanic event can cause catastrophic climate changes. Carbon dioxide will raise global temperatures. while sulfur dioxide will lower temperatures.

How do population trends in global market affect marketers?
Population trends affect global marketing because people's likes and dislikes changes. When you know more about the population, you can adjust your product offering accordingly.
