Effects of Global Warming on Wildlife

What is global warming?

• Global warming refers to the cooling of the Earth's surface over time.

• Global warming is the long-term rise in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities.

• Global warming is a natural cycle that has no impact on climate.

• Global warming is caused solely by volcanic eruptions and not human activities.

How does global warming affect animal habitats?

• Global warming leads to the creation of new habitats for all species.

• Global warming has no effect on animal habitats or ecosystems.

• Global warming improves animal habitats by increasing food availability.

• Global warming negatively impacts animal habitats by causing habitat loss, altering ecosystems, and forcing species to migrate.

Name one animal that is endangered due to climate change.

• Koala

• Elephant

• Giraffe

• Polar bear

What happens to polar bears as ice melts?

• Polar bears adapt by hunting different prey.

• Polar bears thrive in warmer temperatures.

• Ice melting increases the polar bear population.

• Polar bears face habitat loss, food scarcity, and increased risk of starvation.

How does global warming impact bird migration patterns?

• Global warming causes birds to stop migrating altogether.

• Global warming alters bird migration patterns by changing migration timing and routes due to temperature and habitat shifts.

• Birds migrate earlier in the year due to increased rainfall from global warming.

• Global warming has no effect on bird migration patterns.

What is one way that fish are affected by rising ocean temperatures?

• Fish develop stronger immune systems due to warmer waters.

• Increased ocean temperatures lead to more abundant plankton for fish.

• Fish migrate to cooler waters, increasing their population density.

• Coral bleaching reduces habitat and food availability for fish.

How can global warming lead to the extinction of species?

• Global warming increases the number of species in an ecosystem.

• Global warming has no impact on animal migration patterns.

• Global warming can lead to the extinction of species by causing habitat loss, altering food availability, and disrupting breeding patterns.

• Species can adapt to global warming without any consequences.

What role do trees play in the habitat of wildlife affected by global warming?

• Trees play a crucial role in providing habitat, food, and climate regulation for wildlife affected by global warming.

• Trees have no impact on the food chain in wildlife habitats.

• Trees are harmful to wildlife and contribute to global warming.

• Trees only provide shade and do not affect wildlife.

How does climate change affect the food chain in ecosystems?

• Climate change disrupts the food chain by affecting plant growth, herbivore populations, and predator-prey relationships.

• Climate change has no impact on the food chain.

• Food chains are only affected by pollution, not climate change.

• Climate change improves plant growth and increases herbivore populations.

What can we do to help protect wildlife from global warming?

• Increase fossil fuel usage

• Ignore climate change effects

• Encourage habitat destruction

• Reduce emissions, promote conservation, support sustainable practices, and raise awareness.
