True
False
Why do we call them Fossil Fuels?
If we burn too much of it we will turn into fossils
Because it releases CO2 into the atmosphere
It sounded better than just gas

An increase in ocean temperature is associated with a process called ______________, in which algae living within corals die.
coral bleaching
acidification
rising sea levels
ocean currents
How can rising sea levels affect us on land?
