Global affects of climate change : - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Coastal erosion
    - - Low-lying coastal areas and islands are at risk of frequent and severe flooding. As sea levels rise, even minor storm events can cause more extensive flooding, affecting communities, agriculture, and ecosystems.
    - - Rising seas can lead to saltwater going into freshwater aquifers. This intrusion can contaminate drinking water supplies and negatively impact the ecosystems that depend on freshwater, such as wetlands and marshes.
    - - Coastal habitats like mangroves, salt marshes, and coral reefs are particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels. These ecosystems provide crucial breeding grounds and habitats for various marine species. As sea levels rise, these habitats may be submerged or degraded, leading to the loss of biodiversity.
