because people are plowing the land to build houses and shopping malls.
It's growing As of 2013, the glacier is shrinking quickly due to global warming.
yes there are but some are drying out quickly
The North Carolina coastlines are shrinking due to a combination of factors such as sea-level rise, erosion, storm surges, and human activities like development and shoreline armoring. These factors contribute to the loss of coastal land, including beaches and wetlands.
Wetlands and freshwater ecosystems have been shrinking due to drought, desertification, climate change, and the damming of rivers. These factors disrupt natural water flow, reduce water availability, and alter habitats, leading to a decline in biodiversity and ecosystem services. As a result, many species dependent on these environments face increased threats to their survival. The loss of wetlands also exacerbates climate change by reducing carbon storage and increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
So there are less floods
swamp river lake and so on
Wetlands have such high nutrients because in wetlands there are slow moving waters so all the nutrients will stay in place that were in the waters. Also, the trees have a high number of nutrients too; so if they die, they will keep the nutrients that they have.
The sun is not shrinking as it sets. "Sunset" is merely what we call it when the earth turns so that the sun is on the other side of where you're looking. It's not really going anywhere - we're just turning around. So there's no shrinking involved at all.
Fertilizer can pollute a wetlands ecosytem because the fertilizer has toxins in it so the animals will die and there will be no more animals to make a wetlands ecosytem because toxins have bad chemicals in them.
The pacific ocean is shrinking due to subduction zones on the boundaries of the North american and Eurasian sides of the pacific plate causing the pacific plate to be subducted. This is bringing north America and Asia closer, but shrinking the pacific in the process.
If nearby wetlands are destroyed, a town located on a floodplain may experience increased flooding risks. Wetlands act as natural sponges, absorbing excess rainfall and reducing surface runoff. Without these wetlands, floodwaters can rise more quickly and with greater intensity, potentially leading to more frequent and severe flooding events. Additionally, the loss of wetlands can disrupt local ecosystems and water quality, further impacting the community's resilience to flooding.
