Multiple Choice

The graph shows the amount of ice in the arctic. How

will this affect the biodiversity of species that live in the

arctic?

• biodiversity will increase

• biodiversity will decrease

• biodiversity will not change

Multiple Choice

Global warming doesn't just affect the land, it also warms the

oceans. The graph to the right shows the effects of ocean

warming on coral species in the Florida keys. What conclusion

can be drawn from the graph?

• The increasing ocean temperatures have a positive impact on corals.

• The increasing ocean temperatures have a negative impact on corals.

• The increasing ocean temperatures have no impact on corals.
