Transcript

1. Effects of Climate Change
2. Objectives • The learners are expected to: - identify the everyday effects of climate change. - differentiate weather from climate; and, differentiate drought, wildfires and heat waves from one another. - learn how climate change causes drought, wildfires and heat waves
3. Objectives • The learners are expected to: - identify how climate change affects agriculture and the ecosystem. - understand the importance of studying climate change and the importance of being responsible for our actions.
4. What is Climate Change?
5. Video Analysis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKJ1XSKSqf4&t=220s
6. Guide Questions: A. Define the other effects of climate change. Give examples. B. Which effect of climate change is the most evident in your everyday life, as a student, as a member of your community? C. How can you apply your learnings in your life?
7. Effects of Climate Change
8. Weather
9. What is Weather? - State of the atmosphere, describing for example the degree to which it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy. - Changes in a short period of time.
10. Differentiate Climate to Weather ❏ Changes at a short period of time ❏ Changes everyday ❏ Short term changes ❏ Reported as forecast Weather Climate ❏ Long term changes in the Earth’s climate ❏ includes warming, cooling and changes besides temperature. ❏ Includes seasons ❏ Reported as averages Temperature Precipitation Humidity Wind’s Direction & Speed
11. Effects of Climate Change to Weather The weather : • Changes more frequently. • Boosts the probability of extreme weather events. • Rain Patterns are changing.
12. Effects of Climate Change to Weather Why does the weather changing more frequently?
13. Effects of Climate Change to Weather 1. What is extreme weather? 2. What are its examples? 3. Why and How does extreme weather happening?
14. Effects of Climate Change to Weather 1. How are rain patterns formed? 2. What is the role of Climate Change in rain patterns? 3. Why does rain patterns matter?
15. Examples
16. Drought, Heatwaves, Wildfires
17. Effects of Climate Change Drought Wildfires - a large, destructive fire that spreads quickly over woodland or brush. - a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water. Heatwaves - a prolonged period of abnormally hot weather.
18. How does Climate Change cause these?
19. How does Climate Change cause these?
20. How does Climate Change cause these?
21. How does Climate Change cause these?
22. Examples:
24. Agriculture
25. Effects on Agriculture Climate is the primary determinant of agricultural productivity. • Crop productivity will alter due to climate change • Livestock diseases are mainly affected by an increase in temperature
26. Effects on Agriculture
27. Effects on Agriculture Climate is the primary determinant of agricultural productivity. • Water salinization could affect animal metabolism • Animal begin to suffer heat stress
28. Ecosystem
29. Effects on Ecosystems Climate change plays an important role in ecosystems. A change in climate affects the ecosystems in the following ways: • The changing temperature may force species to migrate • Sea level rises and may force species to relocate or die • Disappearing habitats • Causes natural disasters
