Across
  1. 4. This species will suffer a 15% decline in population
  2. 6. Important penguin food source
  3. 9. This type of feedback loop is created due to methane emissions
  4. 10. Light reflected by a surface; will decrease as ice melts
  5. 12. Along with salinity, causes differences in ocean density
  6. 17. This species will encounter a shift in foraging areas
  7. 18. Are slowed down by the movement of ice sheets
  8. 19. Population of this type of budworm is steadily increasing
  9. 20. Shifted in Antarctica as a result of land mass loss; observed using GOCE

  1. 1. Three species of penguins affected by climate change: Adelie, Chinstrap…
  2. 2. Will replace Arctic tundra
  3. 3. Its melting increases drainage and coastal erosion
  4. 5. State that will suffer a decline in wheat production
  5. 7. Only option for plant species survival when they cannot adapt to climate change
  6. 8. Surround Antarctica; their collapse contributes to sea level rise
  7. 11. Emissions of this gas are increasing in the Arctic
  8. 13. Arctic ice may no longer be present during this season
  9. 14. Mathematical models predict the collapse of this glacier
  10. 15. Incidence increases as climate warms; threatens boreal forests
  11. 16. Will replace Arctic deserts
