Section 10-3: Impacts of Climate Change on Ontario

Exercise 1
Result
1 of 1
How melting effects landmass and habitats for animals. How increased temperatures change growing seasons for local vegetation and food availability for various animals. Lastly, how precipitation amounts affect the activity of plants and animals
Exercise 2
Step 1
1 of 3
a) Positive impacts are that an increase in temperature will require less energy spent heating buildings. Negatives are the damage caused to ecosystems, possible flooding due to mass melting, and the need for more energy to cool buildings in warm seasons
Step 2
2 of 3
b) I do not think many areas can benefit from a warming climate since native organisms will be affected and either go extinct, migrate away, or face rapid evolution.

Exercise 3
Result
1 of 1
The hardiness zone will change and some crops may not grow as well while others may grow better.
Exercise 4
Result
1 of 1
Species that thrive in colder environments may migrate away while species that thrive in moderate environments may migrate in
Exercise 5
Result
1 of 1
Insect infestations, wildfires, woodpeckers may migrate in and harm trees, new tree viruses may enter Ontario and attack trees not used to defending against the diseases.
Exercise 6
Step 1
1 of 3
a) Positive because the warming climate creates a loop that leads to increasing temperatures
Step 2
2 of 3
b) To break the loop the government can limit the use of fossil fuels to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that are emitted.
Result
3 of 3
a) Positive because the warming climate creates a loop that leads to increasing temperatures
