summary: there are some things that continue to show the impacts that affect the migration of birds and the water in the air.  the rain forest its getting as much rain and because of that the birds are not migrating back to the north. there is not enough water being released into the air. the amount of water released into the air from plants is ten percent of the water in the air. the low amounts of water decrease the number of insects and food sources for birds that also cause problems with migration and when they choose to go. the quesiton is whether the birds will adapt to the problems or they will suffer because of it.

reflection: i think it is interesting how the climate is affecting the plants so much that they cant produce the same amount of water for the air. also it is horrible the matter that the migration and lives of the birds are being affected because of it. its extrodinary how the atmosphere has such an effect on the things living within it. like we learned about how the different levels of danger and how severely they can effect us.

1. why are the birds not migrating?
2. what do you think the long term effects of this will be?
3. do you believe the birds willl adapt or they will suffer?
4. what percentage of water in the air comes from plants?

  1. REFLECTION:

    I agree with Tori that is is interesting how the climate is affecting the plants so much that they can not produce the same amount of water for the air. It is sad to think that when this is happening, animals like birds are suffering. We learned in class that animals like birds migrate every year. I feel that if they can not migrate, their living pattern will get out of hand, and it could impact their lives. It is scary to know what the atmosphere can do to the living creatures inside of it.

    QUESTIONS:

    1) The rain forest is not getting as much rain.
    2) I think it could affect the lives of the birds and other animals.
    3) Over time, I think they will adapt to the new living conditions.
    4) 10 percent.
