Many impacts can be  brought by global warming, here I would introduce two impact each on the aspect on ecosystem and agriculture.

On ecosystem:

1. Shift in distribution of plants:

The changes in climate brought by global warming will alter the natural distribution limits for vegetation. For example, forests are moving north into the ;and that was once Arctic tundra, while the growing season increased in northern high latitudes.

2. Extinction or endangerment of species

Species may not be able to cope with climate change unlike human, hence intolerance of the increasing temperature may led to the extinction of spices. For example, coral reef cannot survive under temperature over 30 degree Celsius hence facing the danger of extinction.

On agriculture:

3.Farm production lowered

A warmer climate would lead to a loss of soil moisture hence increasing the erosion rate, and the dry soil will lower the land productivity as crops cannot grow on these barren land, especially water thirsty crops such as rice.

4.Farm production destroyed

Pests may become more active given the shorter and warmer winter, while floods may be present more often given the rapidly rising sea level and the instability of the climate.

Hope it helps!

notsponge [240]

Answer:

A stream in a bedrock valley located 5000 feet above ultimate base level that is draining a mountainous region in the headwater of a stream system would have a _____.

high gradient, and a narrow and shallow channel with no floodplain

Explanation:

A bedrock valley has no alluvium mantling the bedrock over which it flows. Alluvium (consists of sand, gravel, silt, clay, and gravel, as well as other organic matters) mantlings or coverings are usually developed in the lower part of the river with the formation of floodplains and deltas.  They may also be deposited at lakes or river banks.  Headwater streams deliver nutrients and other organic materials (e.g. fallen leaves) to downstream regions to sustain downstream aquatic life.

Vilka [71]

The statement, “An arid or semi-arid climate occurs where precipitation is greater than potential evaporation”, is false. A semi-arid climate occurs where the recipitation is below the potential evaporation. Regions that experiences arid climate receives less than 10 inches of rainfall in an entire year.
