earlier In the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration patterns due to warmer
temperatures.
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate toward the poles and up mountainsides toward higher elevations.
Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm. In many places,
however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or farmland blocking their way north or
<i><b>south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those found, in polar and mountaintop </b></i>
regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not possible. For example, polar bears and marine
mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling sea Ice but have nowhere farther north to go.
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated that 20 to
50 percent of spices could be committed to extinction with 2 or 3 Celsius degrees of further warming. The rate of
warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some species and even entire
ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough and may disappear.
<i><b>Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming. Warmer ocean </b></i>
temperatures can cause coral to “bleach”, a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral. Scientists
estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of addition warming could lead to widespread bleaching and death of coral reefs
around the world. Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean and increases the acidity of
ocean waters. This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems.
<b>Quesion 10: </b>

A.
Influence of climate changes on human lifestyles

Global warming and species migration

Global warming and possible solutions

Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effects of global warming. Scientists have already
observed shifts In the lifecycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier and birds hatching
earlier In the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration patterns due to warmer
temperatures.

regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not possible. For example, polar bears and marine
mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling sea Ice but have nowhere farther north to go.
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated that 20 to
50 percent of spices could be committed to extinction with 2 or 3 Celsius degrees of further warming. The rate of
warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some species and even entire
ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough and may disappear.
<i><b>Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming. Warmer ocean </b></i>
temperatures can cause coral to “bleach”, a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral. Scientists
estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of addition warming could lead to widespread bleaching and death of coral reefs
around the world. Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean and increases the acidity of
ocean waters. This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems.
