Lesson Topic
melting arctic ice
Lesson Outline
Continue discussion presented by ABC news regarding melting Arctic ice. Review of arctic amplification theory regarding the greater rise in temperature in the Arctic region than elsewhere.
Diagram to show that the Sun's rays are not reflected as much as previous. The exposed land and water absorb more of the energy, which was previously reflected.
The biggest long-term effect of warming in the Arctic will be sea level rise. The level has risen 6 inches since the industrial revolution.
The loss from the Greenland ice sheet will have its greatest impact on places far away from the Arctic. Sea level rises from melting and continued climate change will exacerbate coastal erosion.
