Essential Question: How does climate change affect the landscape? Investigation Question: How does climate change affect ocean currents?
Investigation 1 Claims:
Climate change is directly related to the burning of fossil fuels that create greenhouse gases. The melting of glaciers effect the direction of ocean currents. A change in ocean currents can affect storms over land.
