(08.03, 08.04, 08.05 HC) Glаciers typicаlly grоw during Ice Age cycles аnd retreat during interglacial periоds. Over the last 800,000 years, there have been eight Ice Age cycles. During the mоst recent Ice Age, glaciers covered about 32 percent of the land and 30 percent of the ocean. We are currently in an interglacial period, and glaciers cover about 10 percent of the land area, mostly in the polar regions. This is part of the normal climate variation cycle. The graph below shows the global carbon dioxide levels and temperatures over the last 800,000 years: © 2020 NOAA Figure 1: Temperature change and carbon dioxide change measured from the EPICA Dome C ice core in Antarctica.   Refer to the graph in figure 1 to answer the following questions: Identify the approximate amount of time between ice ages on the graph. Explain the relationship between carbon dioxide and temperature in the graph. Describe two human activities that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Within the past 200 years, human activity has increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by 40 percent, warming the atmosphere and causing the glaciers to retreat much more rapidly than in a normal cycle. Describe two impacts climate change will have on sea ice ecosystems. Propose a solution to reduce the impact of melting glaciers on Earth's biodiversity. Justify how this solution would protect marine or land species from extinction.
