Question

In this activity, you’ll use presentation software to create a presentation of 10 to 15 slides that predicts how Earth’s climate zones (polar, temperate, and tropical) will change over the next century. You’ll use what you learned about the climate zones in Task 1. Your presentation should answer these questions:

Which types of climactic events do you predict will alter the climate zones?
How will climate zones be affected?
What evidence from online or other sources supports your predictions?
How might changing climate zones affect the plants and animals that live in them?
A thesis statement is the central idea of your argument. It should be focused and provide answers to the question, What am I trying to claim? It should tell listeners how you think Earth’s climate zones will change over the next century. Write your thesis statement in the answer space.

Answer 1

Thesis Statement: Over the next century, Earth's climate zones will undergo significant shifts due to climatic events, such as rising temperatures, increased precipitation, and extreme weather patterns, which will impact the distribution and characteristics of polar, temperate, and tropical regions. Evidence from various online and scientific sources supports these predictions, indicating the vulnerability of these climate zones to anthropogenic climate change. These changes will have profound effects on the ecosystems, plants, and animals residing within these zones, leading to potential species extinctions and alterations in biodiversity.
