Greenland Ice Sheets Figure 3 Changes in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere impacts global sea level Rising carbon dioxide CO levels are correlated with rising atmospheric temperatures Researchers collected data shown in Figures 1 and 2 on atmospheric carbon dioxide and global sea level Concentration ppm Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Year The ice sheets reflect energy from sunlight back into space and allow the Earth to stay cooler If the ice sheets melt the amount of energy reflected will change and thus the temperature of the Earth can change Based on the data complete the model to show how a change in the ice sheets leads to changes in other Earth systems Drag and drop the answers in the correct boxes Not all answers will be used Decreased ice sheet mass Increased ice sheet mass Decreased Earth temperature Increased Earth temperature H Less sunlight reflected More sunlight reflected Increased carbon dioxide Increased Earth temperature
