Study Notes
- Habitats on land and sea are changing due to climate change.
- Some species struggle to survive in changing habitats while others take over.
- Ecosystems are at risk of collapsing.
- Arctic animals like walruses and polar bears are struggling to survive due to vanishing sea ice.
- Coral reefs are suffering due to small changes in ocean temperatures, leading to bleaching and disrupting the entire ecosystem.
- A more acidic ocean affects the calcium balance of creatures with calcified shells like shellfish and coral.
- Milder winters and longer summers allow tree-killing insects to thrive in forests.
- Trees weakened by prolonged drought have lower defense mechanisms.
- Warmer weather, weak trees, and thriving insects are causing the massive die-off of Rocky Mountain conifers.
- The polar bear became the first animal to make the Endangered Species Act list of threatened species because of global warming.
