A) A drought- and heat-induced increase of wildfires can have continent-wide impacts on human health
B) Lower temperatures in some areas and at certain times are expected due to disruption in typical weather patterns.
C) An increase in land conversion from natural habitats to developed or agriculture can reduce the zoonotic potential of diseases

. WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS Global warming isoccurring rapidly in arctic marine and terrestrial ecosystems.The reflective white snow and ice cover are melting quicklyand extensively, uncovering darker-colored ocean water, plants,and rocks. In a short essay (100–150 words), explain how thisprocess might exemplify positive feedback.
Define the problem:
What problem are you trying to address as an environmental engineer?
Explain the repercussions of this problem on the Kalba sea and the whole
coastline area.
Aside from marine organisms, who would be affected by this problem?
Would you consider this oil spill to be particularly severe for taking place in
summer during the month of August? Compare the effects of this oil spill if it
were to take place in the month of February.

Drag and drop the effect cards to the correct spot in the table. Use the legend at the bottom to decipher and unscramble the code word. Answer the questions on your answer sheet. Effect Cause Effect An increase in biodiversity to the region. Cause Programns like "Rigs to Reefs" convert old oil rigs in the oceans into artifricial reefs. Effect Large swaths of plastic float on top of the ocean while microplastics sink to deeper ecosystems. Cause Overfishing in an area to meet consumer demands. Effect Cause An increase in algae blooms which takes oxygen out of the water and creates "dead zones". Excessive fertilizer runoff into rivers and streams that flow into the ocean.
