Document Summary
Which solution has more hydrogen ions (acidity): a solution with a ph of 5 or one with a ph of 6: ph of 5. What are the two reasons for sea level rise: melting of land ice, thermal expansion of the water. Case study in new brunswick fond the following likely impacts; Extended flooding after storms and during high tides. Intrusion of salt water into rivers and coastal aquifers (salt water into fresh water) Sids - small island developing states - are most vulnerable to sea level rise, because many are very small and quite-low-lying (a few metres above sea level) Observed impacts: many freshwater and marine species have shifted their geographic ranges, seasonal activities, migration patters abundances, and species interactions. Future risks: a large fraction of both terrestrial and freshwater species faces increased extinction risk. Photosynthesis = co2 + water + light > carbohydrates + oxygen. If you elevate co2 you might elevate carbohydrates.
