Challenge Question #4
" What do your ice map findings tell you about changes in sea ice thickness
and extent? List at least three ways you think sea ice changes - and related
changes - could affect gray whales and other marine animals."
The maps are predicting what will happen in a 100 year time period. If
things stay the way they are, the ice cover will be not as thick as it was.
There will be less ice.
As the ice changes, the whales will go farther north. If they have to go
farther north, it will change their migration path. They might not come
back as far south. Possibly the babies might not have as safe of a place to
be born and raised. The animals that live in sea near the polar ice caps
might die because their habitat is changing. Some food sources would change.
