“What are the effects of climate change?


Climate change destabilises the Earth’s temperature equilibrium and has far-​reaching effects on human beings and the environment. During the course of global warming, the energy balance and thus the temperature of the earth change, due to the increased concentration of greenhouse gases, which has a significant impact on humans and the environment.

It is not scientifically possible to assign individual weather events to the current climate change, however, it can be statistically proven that global warming will increase the probability of extreme weather events. 

The direct consequences of man-​made climate change include:

rising maximum temperatures
rising minimum temperatures 
rising sea levels 
higher ocean temperatures 
an increase in heavy precipitation (heavy rain and hail)
shrinking glaciers
thawing permafrost
The indirect consequences of climate change, which directly affect us humans and our environment, include: 

an increase in hunger and water crises, especially in developing countries
health risks through rising air temperatures and heatwaves 
economic implications of dealing with secondary damage related to climate change 
increasing spread of pests and pathogens
loss of biodiversity due to limited adaptability and adaptability speed of flora and fauna  
ocean acidification due to increased HCO3 concentrations in the water as a consequence of increased CO₂ concentrations
the need for adaptation in all areas (e.g. agriculture, forestry, energy, infrastructure, tourism, etc.)”

10. What is partial melting compared to the complete melting of a rock? Why is it that rocks do not usually experience complete
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Partial melting occurs when only a portion of solid is melted. It is thus enriched in the chemical components of minerals with lower melting temperatures and the remaining unmelted portion of the rock is composed of minerals with highest melting temperatures. Partial melting preferentially enriches melts with incompatible elements.

Partially melted rock do not usually experience complete melting inside the Earth, due to their different chemical composition and their melting points.

It is thought that partial-melting processes play a major role in generating more-defined liquids from less-evolved ones, so that many basalts may be the result of partial melting in the upper mantle, and many granites may have derived partly or completely from the partial melting of continental crust (anatexis).With increasing temperature and pressure, the subducted oceanic crust (of basic composition) first undergoes metamorphism and then begins to melt or release watery fluids; this material rises into the overlying mantle, which may also begin to melt, giving rise to intermediate magma.

What process is a good example of a positive feedback that then reaches an equilibrium in an Earth system?
ipn [44]

Answer:

The relationship between the warming of the earth’s northern latitude and ice is a practical example of a positive feedback on the earth system.

Explanation:

A positive feedback is a process that brings about an increase in the process of interaction in the earth activities The warming of the northern latitude which is responsible for generating more heat through sunlight with time, usually results in an increase in the melting of ice bodies in the ocean by movement. This activity is regarded as positive because it is associated with an increase in the process. This process is directly proportional to the exchange activities that takes place and often leads to an equilibrium in the earth system.
