Climate Change
Regional temperatures are changing with the
climate. This change in
certain areas of the country makes it hard for plants and animals to live. Animals may
need to
relocate to places that have the temperatures they are used to living in. This move can be
difficult for them.
This change may
cause some
species to move father north where the
weather is cooler or farther south where the
weather is warmer. Many kinds of animals
migrate each year and more are doing so with the
climate changes.
With the changes in
climate, there may be
different places in which plants can still grow in
certain areas. The land and water are also
affected. Researchers use
data to help them
understand these changes. Reports, charts, graphs, and daily monitoring of land is detailed in the
information gathered.
