Across
  1. 1. State that will suffer a decline in wheat production
  2. 4. Will replace Arctic deserts
  3. 6. Shifted in Antarctica as a result of land mass loss; observed using GOCE
  4. 7. Three species of penguins affected by climate change: Adelie, Chinstrap…
  5. 9. Are slowed down by the movement of ice sheets
  6. 10. Surround Antarctica; their collapse contributes to sea level rise
  7. 12. Along with salinity, causes differences in ocean density
  8. 14. This species will suffer a 15% decline in population
  9. 16. Will replace Arctic tundra
  10. 18. This type of feedback loop is created due to methane emissions
  11. 19. Incidence increases as climate warms; threatens boreal forests
Down
  1. 1. Important penguin food source
  2. 2. Population of this type of budworm is steadily increasing
  3. 3. Mathematical models predict the collapse of this glacier
  4. 5. Light reflected by a surface; will decrease as ice melts
  5. 8. Only option for plant species survival when they cannot adapt to climate change
  6. 11. Emissions of this gas are increasing in the Arctic
  7. 13. Its melting increases drainage and coastal erosion
  8. 15. This species will encounter a shift in foraging areas
  9. 17. Arctic ice may no longer be present during this season
