Climate change causes rising temperatures, sea levels, and changes in precipitation patterns that can negatively impact ecosystems. As climates warm and conditions become drier, many species may go extinct as suitable habitats decrease. Ecosystems will be further stressed by more extreme events such as heavier precipitation, ice storms, heat waves, droughts, and hurricanes. These effects of climate change threaten both human and animal habitats.

1. CLIMATE CHANGE AND ECOSYSTEM
What is climate ?
Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns when
that change lasts for an extended period of time.
What is Ecosystem ?
An ecosystem includes all of the living things (plants, animals and organisms) in a given area,
interacting with each other, and also with their non-living environments
(weather, earth, sun, soil, climate, atmosphere).

2. EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Rise in Temperature
Rise in Sea Level
Change in Precipitation Pattern
Drier Conditions
Other Changes

3. RISE IN TEMPERATURE

4. EXPECTED FUTURE TEMPERATURE RISE

5. SEA LEVEL RISE

6. CHANGE IN PRECIPITATION PATTERN

7. DRIER CONDITIONS

8. OTHER CHANGES

9. HOW COULD THIS
EFFECT OUR
ECOSYSTEM ????

10. INCREASE IN CO2

11. CHANGE IN HABITAT SUITABILITY
 Many species can go extinct
 Humans forced to change habitat
 Decrease in suitable habitat area
For both humans and animals

12. EXTREME EVENTS
Heavy precipitation
Ice storms
Heat waves
Drought
Wind storm
Hurricane , tornado
Flood
