Objective: Understand and articulate the interplay of various climate change factors using NASA’s Climate Time Machine tool.
Instructions:
PreparationBegin by reviewing all the sources provided in the module description. It is essential to especially watch the “Climate Change Explained” video linked in D2L first, as it lays the groundwork for this assignment.
Research and ExplorationNavigate to NASA’s Climate Time Machine.
Explore the following scenarios in any order you prefer:Sea Level Rise – Make sure to select the Europe simulation.
Sea Ice
Global Temperature
Ice Sheets
Ocean Warming
Carbon Dioxide
Analysis and CompositionWrite two four-sentence paragraphs, explaining the interactions between the factors mentioned above.
In your explanation, ensure that you refer to each scenario explicitly. When you mention terms like sea level rise, sea ice, global temperature, ice sheets, ocean warming, and carbon dioxide, ensure that they are in bold.
Tips:
Think about how the melting of ice sheets could impact sea level rise. Consider the relationship between carbon dioxide levels and global temperature, and how this might affect ocean warming and sea ice. This is just an example to get you started, and your analysis might touch on other interconnections.
Submission Guidelines:
Submissions should consist of all content and submitted in a PDF.
Ensure that your composition is clear, concise, and free from errors.
Your assignment should be typed using a readable font. Do not upload your written portion in the text box. Points will be taken.
Evaluation Criteria:
Depth of analysis and understanding of the interactions.
Clarity and organization of thoughts.
Proper emphasis on specific scenarios by bolding the terms.
Adherence to instructions and submission guidelines.
