Below are 4 different types of geographical photographs: Oblique, above-aerial, satellite, eye-level. Which photo is the satellite image?
Using Source 10 and Source 9, identify the most logical reason as to why the Arctic is heating up faster than other areas of the world?
The melting of the sea ice leads to darker land being exposed which absorbs more heat rather than reflecting it. This then leads onto rising temperatures on the surface and therefore even faster melting rates of sea ice.
Greenhouse gases emitted by the burning of fossil fuels is leading to dramatic climate change including more intense storms and more prolonged droughts.
Warmer atmospheres due to the increasing greenhouse effect is leading to increased evaporation and the surface of the sea warming up. This leads to loss of biodiversity and coral bleaching.
Large areas of rain forests are being cut down to establish high intensity palm tree plantations, releasing massive amount of carbon dioxide into the environment.
