Principle_3_9-12_Nov_07, As the climate warms, the rate at which glaciers and ice caps melt increases. (7C CA) ???? An increase in ice melt causes a decrease in salinity. This will change ocean circulation. (3G CA), Changes in the ocean/atmosphere system result in changes to weather and climate. (3F, 6B CA) ???? An increase in greenhouse gases contributes to warming of the atmosphere., The Ocean/System influences Weather and Climate (Principle 3 Grades 9-12) ???? There is a difference between weather and climate., Changes in the ocean/atmosphere system result in changes to weather and climate. (3F, 6B CA) ???? Carbon is exchanged between the ocean and the atmosphere. This is part of the carbon cycle. (3E CA), As the climate warms, the rate at which glaciers and ice caps melt increases. (7C CA) ???? As glaciers and ice caps melt, sea level rises. This destroys or submerges land forms and habitats, effects agriculture. (7C CA), Ocean currents tranfer heat throughout the ocean basins. ???? Heat in the oceans moderates the climate., Climate is weather over a long period of time. (NSES 9-12, p. 189; 5-8 D1J p. 160) ???? Properties of the ocean change over long time scales and these changes effect the climate. (NSES 9-12 p. 189 DIJ; 5-8 DIJ p. 160), Properties of the ocean change over long time scales and these changes effect the climate. (NSES 9-12 p. 189 DIJ; 5-8 DIJ p. 160) ???? Long term weather data sets contribute to climate predictions., There is a difference between weather and climate. ???? Weather is local and short term. (NSES 9-12, DIC p. 189), Ocean currents tranfer heat throughout the ocean basins. ???? Ocean currents moderate coastal weather.
