Climate Change - Sea Levels - Coggle Diagram

- - - - With the flooding of farmland, the same issue arises as the droughts, the loss of production of farms, This is a heavy hitter to every single country. Countries, where food shortages are often prevalent, are hit harder because of the shortages. With even less food going around and being made, everyone in that circle suffers.
  - - - With farms drying up the production of food is greatly decreased. This causes famine and hunger to strike any country that relies completely on their farms for food. Countries like the USA and Canada are still impacted by the loss of farms however imported food is still a viable option
- - - - The submersion of cities sounds like a fantasy story however the concept is very real. The constant increase of sea water is causing costal cities to slowly be engulfed by water. If there is no resolve to global warming or even a decrease in our current actions cities like Miami could soon begin to feel the effects of rising sea water, such as smaller beaches and eventually, loss of the city itself to complete water submersion.
- - - - The flooding of forests causes the habitats of many different animals to be lost. Anything in this area is now completely destroyed. From the soil - to the trees. This also affects humans because the flood of an entire forest means that chopping trees in that area is now impossible.
  - - - The new increase of saltwater can horribly throw off the balance of fresh water to saltwater. The new increase of saltwater causes soil to become contaminated and gives life on earth less freshwater to drink from.
- - - - The drying of lakes causes fish, turtles and other marine life and amphibians to lose their home. Any fish will die due to the lack of water and amphibians may survive for a while longer however they would have to search for a new home and most likely perish in the process.
  - - - With forests flooding the amount of livable space greatly decreases. Small rodents like squirrels and larger animals like deer are having their habitats destroyed as a cost of our global warming. This means that they will slowly die out due to the new unnatural causes.
  - - - Droughts affect every single part of the world from first world countries to third. If a country loses land, farms or water to a drought their production of goods and food shortages with it. If a drought were to hit the entirety of America, and all farms were lost. The entire world would be hit with an unbelievable panic. The loss of every American good, exported food and the people themselves fleeing would be too sudden of a collapse to properly deal with. This is a real and pressing issue that is currently affecting countries world-wide.
- - - - The erosion of landmass will cause a significant decrease in hospitality of land. With large chunks of land suddenly being torn apart the amount of room left on earth for humans and animals to live is quickly shrinking.
  - - - Caused by a rise of saltwater. This destroys the balance of soil by over contaminating it with salt and causes the soil to be unusable for planting, crops or any life sustaining capabilities.
  - - - Caused by the new heat of the world. The heat causes the ice caps to melt and they then help in raising the sea level of the earth.
