Climate changes affect our natural world by changing the life cycle of plants. Plants growth may slow or stop. Plants may not grow correctly or nrmally. Oceans become warmer and some animals and plants in the ocean may not be able to survive. The warming of the ocean may change how animals and plants grow and behave too. If ice and snow melt and runoff into the oceans, they will rise. Rising oceans can change habitats along coasts. It could alos affect the salt level in the ocean. If water evaporates faster because of the changing climates, drought can happen. As we see in Texas during the summer, fires are possible. Drought can hurt farming and livestock like cows and sheep. Some people count on farming to survive. Animals change their behavior too. As climates change and affect habitats, animals have to adapt too. It is important that we understand how and why climate changes happen and what we can do to help. LIME GROUP ANALYSIS (Adrian, Josh, Thomas) An exploration of climate change from Discovery Education. We loved learning this way! This activity is a great way to learn about climate changes and is quick and easy to understand! media type="custom" key="9977651" media type="custom" key="10079353"
