Physical impacts of climate change

Scientists have discovered that the Earth is getting warmer because of something called climate change. Climate change is caused by pollution from using things like cars and factories. This pollution gets trapped in the Earth's atmosphere and acts like a big blanket, keeping the heat inside the Earth's atmosphere.

The Earth is like a giant ball and it has different parts like the land, water, and air. Climate change is causing these different parts to change in different ways.

On land, the heat is making the ice and snow melt in places like the North Pole and the glaciers on mountains. This is causing sea levels to rise because when the ice melts, it turns into water and goes into the oceans. This can cause flooding in some places and can change where animals live.

In the water, climate change is making the oceans warmer. This can hurt sea animals because they might not be able to live in warmer water. It can also cause bigger storms, like hurricanes, because the warmer water makes the storms stronger.

In the air, climate change is causing changes in the weather. This means it might be really hot in the summer, or really cold in the winter, and this can hurt the plants and animals that live in those places. Climate change also makes it harder for people to breathe because there is more pollution in the air.

Overall, climate change is having lots of different impacts on the Earth's different parts. We need to work together to stop polluting so we can protect our planet and all the creatures that live here.
