This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: GW UTC AK, increased evaporation from land surface causing more severe droughts, dangerously thin ice & more open ocean affects hunting and transportation for indigenous people, decrease in Arctic sea ice disrupts natural temperature balance achieved by thermohaline circulation, phytoplankton blooms absorbing more CO2, more moisture to be evaporated causing bigger ocean storms (hurricanes & typhoons), ocean thermal expansion causing more moisture to be evaporated, increasing water temperatures causes decrease in Arctic sea ice, bigger ocean storms (hurricanes & typhoons) causing coastal flooding & erosion, coastal flooding & erosion affecting food sources and habitat for humans and wildlife, more CO2 possibly decreasing Global Warming, increasing water temperatures melting ice sheets in Greenland & Antarctica, natural temperature balance achieved by thermohaline circulation leads to increase in Global Warming, increasing water temperatures causing ocean thermal expansion, ocean thermal expansion raising global sea levels, global air temperatures causing increased evaporation from land surface, melted water to flow in channels causing faster movement of ice sheets in Greenland & Antarctica, bigger ocean storms (hurricanes & typhoons) increase phytoplankton blooms, ice sheets in Greenland & Antarctica raising global sea levels, global sea levels causing coastal flooding & erosion, more severe droughts affecting vegetation
