Answer 3

sure thing

Answer 4

sure go ahead and show me what you got so far

Answer 5

some of this is off of those websites I showed you, so I would either rephrase them in your own words or quote them (remember to cite as well)

Answer 6

the problems are basically this

a) flooding ***

b) droughts ***

c) heat waves (temperatures are getting higher and higher each year)

d) wildlife and biodiversity is affected since the environment is changing

*** a) and b) sound contradictory, but climate change or global warming is shifting water patterns basically and taking water from those that need it (eg farmers) and water is now going to places where it shouldn't (causing flooding) ***

Answer 7

so if you live in areas where droughts and floods happen, then your life is affected

Answer 8

also, heat waves affect pretty much everyone

Answer 9

and we all rely on nature, so we rely on biodiversity

Answer 10

well the true cause is up for debate, but on one side people will say it's mostly caused by humans while the other side will say it's a natural cycle of the earth

Answer 11

it's hard to say which one is truly correct (maybe a mix of both?) but I think humans are responsible for a lot (since the patterns started changing after the industrial revolution)
