Crops

Wheat and rice won't be so affected as they can grow well in high temperatures; however, plants such as maize and sugarcane need cooler climates.

Changes in rainfall patterns will affect the growth of plants and crops.

Countries without enough food will suffer from hunger as plants won't grow as they usually do due.

Increased temperatures

The water of the oceans will expand

The ice of the Antarctic and Greenland will melt and this will contribute to the sea level

Greater sea levels will threaten the low-lying coastal areas

Millions of areas of land will be at danger from flooding

What is Climate change?

luisramirezvid — 2024-02-26 00:36:05 UTC

We can define climate change as the changes in temperatures and weather patterns. These changes have caused global warming and the melting of the ice in the polar ice caps. And they can cause the extinction of animals, floods, droughts and hunger in people.

In the following information we can see different elements affected by climate change

Water

Changes in the climate will change the weather patterns and will bring more rain in some countries, but other will have less rain.

Dry areas won't have rain and so they will become drier and wet areas will have more rain, becoming wetter.

Animals

The homes of plants and animals will be affected all over the world.

Polar bears and seals may become extinct.

Countries

Countries whose coastal regions have a large population, such as Egypt and China, may have to move whole populations inland to avoid flooding.

The effect of a change in the weather on plant growth may lead to some countries not having enough food. Brazil, parts of Africa, south-east Asia and China will be affected the most and many people could be affected by hunger.

People

luisramirezvid — 2024-02-26 00:42:18 UTC

The effect on people will depend on how well we can adapt to the changes and how much we can do to reduce climate change in the world

What can we do to stop climate change?

luisramirezvid — 2024-02-26 00:51:35 UTC

We can reduce our consume of plastics

Use energy saving bulbs

Protect green spaces

Avoid consuming or wasting too much.
