Question
Chapter 51.3, Problem 2SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The effects of global warming on the geographical distribution of organisms.
Introduction:
The rise in the global mean temperature due to the elevated greenhouse effect is called global warming. It has raised the mean sea surface temperature and the temperarute of the atmosphere. This has caused the melting of polar ice caps.
