Thus‚ polar bears have been in danger of extinction‚ and penguin that live in Antarctica‚ too. Next‚ rain and snowfall has increased on average across the world‚ so it is beginning to lead to food shortages in some areas. Then when whether or not global warming get worse‚ these affect coming up. As reported “Effects of Global Warming

Continental drift is the movement of the Earth ’s continents relative to each other. The hypothesis that continents ’drift ’ was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596 and was fully developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. However‚ it was not until the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s‚ that a sufficientgeological explanation of that movement was found. |Contents | | [hide] | |1 History

As long as we continue to power our global economy by burning fossil fuels that pollute the air with heat-trapping gases‚ we are contributing to the increase in global temperatures. Consequently‚ the ice sheets in places like Antarctica and Greenland are melting‚ thus causing the sea levels to rise. This past summer‚ in a disconcerting new scientific study by the climate scientist Michiel Schaeffer and his fellow colleagues‚ had suggested that no matter how quickly we cut this

Air Pollution Air pollution is very bad. We should regulate the excretion of air pollution from combustion engines and factories. Air pollution is contaminated air. It is both a health hazard and an environmental hazard. There are several ways how air pollution is bad‚ but there are also ways to help decontaminate or at least lower some of the pollution. Many people know about air pollution‚ but not everyone knows how hazardous it really is. According to the Environmental Protection Agency
