What is acidification ?
It means when acid is pumped into an object it will cause the pH level will rise and if the pH level gets to high it will cause it to acidify. In other words if acid was to be pumped into an object the pH levels would rise which will cause it to become acid. It means when there are to many particles/gases like poison or carbon in the atmosphere the ocean absorbs some of these these gases which causes the hp level to rise and if the pH level gets to high it will acidify.
What is deforestation ?
Deforestation is happening everywhere and it's a bad thing why? you might ask its because the amount of trees being cut down are just to much. At a rate of thirty six trees per minute getting cut down is just to overwhelming so we need to reduce the amount of trees getting cut down. Deforestation is when people cut down trees for a specific reason like for making furniture or making houses or clearing out spaces for farms and for other purposes and not replacing the trees. Deforestation doesn't just affect our atmosphere just because there are no trees to take in the carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen it also affects the water cycle because the precipitation patterns which is a part of the water cycle. So when it rains trees and plants absorb the rain but through transpiration they lose water which is evaporated into the atmosphere and clouds form from the evaporated water and when there is enough water collected it will pour down again and it works as a cycle and it will do that again and again but when there are no trees the cycle is broken because when it rains there are no trees left to uptake the water so most of the rain builds up and and moves of the surface as runoff this means that there isn't much water to be evaporated which means there is a smaller contribution to clouds and rain. Eventually this will degrade the environment because its lacking the amount of water it needs.
What are trees used for ?
Trees are really important because if there were no trees on earth we would not be alive. Trees are used for many purposes its used for furniture,houses,pencils,paper etc etc and they also have an important role in humanity trees absorb carbon dioxide which is released by cars,trucks and many other uses of transportation and factory's too where clothes and cars are manufactured release a lot of co2 which is absorbed by trees and releases oxygen but humans do the opposite we breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide Even though we need trees to live we still cut them down at a pretty fast rate. One thing that would really help is if all the trees that got cut down were replaced so it would be like a cycle but if it was going to get cut down for farms or buildings at least plant some new trees somewhere else even though there are alot of trees in this world we still need to think about what where doing to our forests and our lives
Ice cap melt
If all the ice on Antarctica,Greenland and the world's glacier melted what would happen ?
It would raise global sea levels by an astonishing sixty eight point three meters which is equivalent to two hundred and twenty four feet. That is an enormous amount and it would destroy many places called home to hundreds of thousands of people for example Fiji,Tuvalu,Samoa,Tonga and all the pacific nations will be completely emerged under water which will lead to many families fleeing to other states to find a new home but such a catastrophe would take five thousand years at the current rate of ice melting to happen but it would severely ultra the geography of our planet but this wouldn't just have an affect on the pacific nations it would also greatly affect many other states around the world like in north America Vancouver,Seattle,Portland and most of San Diego and Los Angeles would be under water San Francisco would be an island and San Jose would be destroyed by the waves. The San Francisco bay a would greatly expand in size to completely swallow Sacramento the gulf of California would expand so far north that Palm Springs would become a coastal city while along the Atlantic coast the ocean would expand to swallow the cities of Corpus Christi,Houston,
New Orleans the entire state of Florida as well as the entire state of Delaware almost all of Long Island and the cities of New York,Philadelphia,Baltimore,Washington D.C and Boston South America would also be severely flooded with two new Inland seas existing on the continent and the cities of Buenos Aires,Montevideo and Rio DE Janine would all be under water. Europe would be one of the most devastated areas in the world. The entire country of the Netherlands would be under the water and so would nearly all of Denmark and half of Belgium. The British isles would become more of an archipelago and London would be totally buried under the sea Northern Germany would also be entirely under water including the city of Berlin and Venice and Italy would have long since reclaimed by the Adriatic sea Istanbul will also be under water the Crimea peninsula would become the Crimea Island and the Black and Caspian seas would be connected with one another which would mean that Kazakhstan,Uzbekistan,Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan would no longer be landlocked countries Africa would perhaps be the least severely affected continent but Egypt would be severely damaged by having both Alexandria and Cairo going under water the Persian Gulf meanwhile would swallow the entire countries of Bahrain and Qatar and the city of Baghdad. India and Pakistan would be badly damaged but the entire country of Bangladesh would cease to survive in this catastrophe hundreds of millions of people would be underwater in China including Beijing and Shanghai in edition to the cities of the Seoul,Pyongyang and Tokyo. Australia would be home to a new Inland sea and finally Antarctica would become more of and archipelago but unlike the Antarctica up today this Antarctica would likely be Habitable and easily Colonizable by future humans.
So what can we do to prevent this disastrous future from happening ?
Reducing the usage of humanity's fossil fuels.
Take on serious action about climate change because the government doesn't seem to be taking
serious action of it.
Reduce the amount of trees getting cut down per minute because there a just to many trees that are getting cut down and not being replanted which is bad because it helps humans and animals live.
Take quick action of trying to get rid of all uses of transportation that run by gas and start working on trying to make more transportation that run by electricity which will make a large difference.
Stop pollution because it's happening all over the world and extend the amount of bins being made all around the world so that the rubbish can be recycled and there will be a place for it to be thrown into and not on the ground or into the oceans because a lot of sea creatures are mistaking rubbish thrown or blown away into their homes for food which will be stuck in their stomachs and it could lead them to have diseases or even death just because of our foolish actions and mistakes so we need to stop pollution because it's affecting human lives and it's affecting the ocean lives.
how does ice cap melt affect climate change ?
Through the water cycle.
