Use the list of words
below to summarize the lesson on Earth's climate history. You will need
to use some words more than once:
absorbed, Arctic Sea,
coastal areas, Equator,
glacier/glaciers, greenhouse
effect, Greenland, heat, higher, ice caps, lower, North
Pole, reflects, South Pole, warmer
|
1) As the Earth gets
warmer, temperatures at the ____________________
and ____________________
will increase more than temperatures at the ____________________ . (Page
1)
2) The ____________________
traps heat and warms a planet, and it also distributes the
____________________ more evenly over the planet. (Page
1)
3) As
Earth's albedo gets lower, more
of the Sun's energy is ____________________
at the surface and the planet gets ____________________. (Page 2)
4) Polar ice has a
____________________ albedo than the
water or rock under it, so it ____________________
away more of the Sun's energy. (Page 2)
5) As glaciers and ice
caps melt, the albedo gets
____________________
and the Earth gets ____________________. (Page 2)
6) In the northern polar
region, melting ice covering
the ____________________
will not affect sea levels as much as the ____________________
covering most of ____________________ would if it melted.
This is because the ice covering
the
____________________
is already sitting in water. (Page 3)
7) Over 600 million
people live in ____________________
within 10 meters of
sea level. (Page 3)
8) If all the
____________________ and ____________________
in the world melted, sea levels around the world would rise by about 70
meters. (Page 3)
