What is the greatest threat to Antarctica? by https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq en-us 2021-01-26 09:23:15 UTC 2023-03-14 02:15:29 UTC hello@padlet.com Will Branfield https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq/wish/1140423227 Climate Change because it will make all the ice melt and for example the baby plankton nowhere to stay and then the whole chain will have to adapt or it will collapse.]]> 2021-01-29 13:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq/wish/1140423227 The Greatest threat to Antarctica keanej14 https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq/wish/1140423366 I believe the greatest threat to Antarctica is the ice melting is this will have a massive affect on not just Antarctica but the world as the sea levels will rise by 70 m causing all coastal towns and villages to be submerged. Antarctica will become a rocky wasteland inhospitable by its previous natural wildlife. Which will cause the wildlife food webs and food chains will be absolutely demolished. Also the glaciers are carving which means that the ice is falling off of the glaciers and floating in the oceans and bays around Antarctica. This creates a watery icy mess that fills these oceans making it merely impossible for penguins to get out to the open ocean as they can neither walk or swim on this ice allowing them to be picked of by leopard seals decreasing their population. Antarctica holds a whopping 70% of the worlds fresh ice is held here causing us to lose a vital dependable life source.]]> 2021-01-29 13:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq/wish/1140423366 Alex Sweeting https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq/wish/1140423654 All of the ice that makes Antartica melting and the sea level rising by another 66m and all the animals having to live on the dry land underneath and having to get used to the environment.]]> 2021-01-29 13:04:08 UTC https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq/wish/1140423654 CLIMATE CHANGE IS BAD AND NOT GOOD phelpsi https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq/wish/1140423733 it is increasing the wind speeds massivley and effecting the different species like albatross which is happening because the adults cant recognise them if there not on there nest which they wind causes the to fall off :(]]> 2021-01-29 13:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq/wish/1140423733 The greatest threat to Antarctica slatere13 https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq/wish/1140423755 I think that the greatest threat to Antarctica is climate change because it is going to mean the ice will melt and rise sea levels and it will mean all the wildlife will have to adapt or die. If the snow melts then the Earth my overheat because the white of the snow reflects the heat away from the planet and all people will die. #ProtectThePenguins🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

Oil can easily leak from boats and this will kill lots of wildlife. Tourism is expensive, but people with money still can go there and disrupt Antartica. Animals will not be able to adapt quick enough from all the pollution from boats and plane and the rest of the world. If tourism disrupts wildlife massively, animals will die and the whole food web will collapse. williamsona14 https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq/wish/1140424048

Which makes it harder for animals to travel for food like penguins. ghataurai13 https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq/wish/1140424264  Ishaan Ghataura

It also means that the minerals underneath the ice will eventually start to be exposed, which means countries may race to get at those resources and it may start a war, which would just destroy Antarctica even more.

]]> 2021-01-29 13:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq/wish/1140424301 In my opinion, the greatest threat to Antarctica is Melting sea ice. This is unfortunately happening on a large scale. The melting of this ice is called carving. This, in turn creates brash ice which makes hunting hard for many species of wildlife, including the penguins, because of it's large and sharp shape. If this carries on, there will be no ice left on Antarctica. This ice will instead raise the sea levels submerging many coastal towns and cities. The result will be catastrophic. glasspoolel14 https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq/wish/1140424629

As the ice is melting it is beginning to cause the ice to melt creating large blocks of ice in the water. this causes the penguins to have to go further out to get to open sea where they are vulnerable to leopard seals and many predators of the penguins. eylesh13 https://padlet.com/gburchnall/zkcpvbio0szzdcrq/wish/1140425485

If all of the  ice melts, Antarctica's animals will have to adapt to new environments. Ice in the ocean is called bash ice (they are usually 2 metre thick) and it will make hunting for food harder of the animals that live on Antarctica's ice.

This leads to land loss, calving's and also sea levels rising. All of these are endangering  our planet. A: The loss of the land is bad for the animals as they are loosing their natural habitat. B: Calving is causing more brash ice killing more animals each year, especially baby penguins as they go for their first dives into the water. C: Sea levels rising are a increasingly big threat as countries are starting to be engulfed. Places like Holland ( 6.7 Meters or 22 feet below sea level) that are below sea level  hugely will be submerged, along with other places in the world. This Needs to change. That is why i think that climate change is the biggest threat to antartica

Climate Change also melts the Ice making Brash ice (2m long spiky ice shards which can crush Penguins making them easy prey for the leopard seal.
The melting of the Ice also makes it so Certain animals can't find places to lay their eggs.
