There are many different things to take into consideration when assessing sea level rise. Sea level rise is due to climate change. The two main factors that cause sea level to rise are the melting of land ice and thermal expansion. Low lying areas such as the Matanzas River Basin will continue to feel the effects of climate change. Other factors will continue to play roles, such as wetland management and human development. Creekside festival will be a great chance for us to reach out to the…

Planet Earth represents Great Britain. The moon is Greenland because it is very close but it does not have what we are looking for (profit).

Glacial Melting – Cause, Effect, and Solution People and animals around the world need clean water year-round to drink and to use for growing crops and vegetation. Increased glacial melting is one casualty of global warming, which is caused by increased greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases, and ozone (EPA.gov, 2013;NASA, 2015), which tend to absorb infrared radiation (i.e. heat) that was emitted by the earth’s surface, which would have…

The environment and climate have been controversial topics for many people. Environmental and climate damage have caused many societies in the past to collapse.
