NOT accurate Accurate - Global Warming Box Accurate - Polar Ice Box Accurate - Ocean Currents Box
As polar ice melts, it causes ocean currents to be more efficient.
Research shows that Arctic polar ice is melting faster than it did in previous generations.
As polar ice melts, it causes ocean currents to get slower.
Research shows that Arctic polar ice is growing thicker and covering more area.
Decreased greenhouse gases cause increased global temperatures.
Increased greenhouse gases cause increased global temperatures.
As polar ice melts, it causes ocean currents to be more efficient.
Research shows that Arctic polar ice is melting faster than it did in previous generations.
As polar ice melts, it causes ocean currents to get slower.
Research shows that Arctic polar ice is growing thicker and covering more area.
Decreased greenhouse gases cause increased global temperatures.
Increased greenhouse gases cause increased global temperatures.
Accurate - Polar Ice Box:
-As polar ice melts, it causes ocean currents to be more efficient.
-Research shows that Arctic polar ice is melting faster than it did in previous generations.
Accurate - Global Warming Box:
-Increased greenhouse gases cause increased global temperatures.
As polar ice melts, it causes ocean currents to get slower.
Research shows that Arctic polar ice is growing thicker and covering more area.
Decreased greenhouse gases cause increased global temperatures
And these
None of these statements are accurate.
The statement "As polar ice melts, it causes ocean currents to get slower." is not accurate, as polar ice melting can actually disrupt ocean currents and make them more efficient instead of slower.
The statement "Research shows that Arctic polar ice is growing thicker and covering more area." is not accurate, as research has shown that Arctic polar ice is actually melting at an accelerated rate.
The statement "Decreased greenhouse gases cause increased global temperatures." is not accurate, as decreased greenhouse gases would actually lead to lower global temperatures rather than increased temperatures.
Therefore, none of these statements belong in the accurate boxes on the graphic.

As water floods new areas, sections of crust are transferred by water to new locations.
Resource deposits have been moved by researchers and then found later by other scientists.
Organisms have migrated to new areas, which caused continental drift to occur.
Large segments of crust called plates have moved to new positions over periods of millions of years.
