Answer to Question 1

Warmer temperatures overall; melting glaciers, ice caps, and sea ice; increased drought in some
locations, increased precipitation in other locations; difficulty growing food in some agricultural areas;
and spread of tropical diseases into areas that have traditionally been too cold for them.



Answer to Question 2

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are natural components of the atmosphere. These gases
allow sunlight to pass through the atmosphere but trap some of the heat that radiates outward from
Earth's surface. This is the greenhouse effect. If the mount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
increases, they can trap more heat, and the atmosphere warms.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis syndrome are life-threatening reactions that can result in death. Complications include permanent blindness, dry-eye syndrome, lung damage, photophobia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, permanent loss of nail beds, scarring of mucous membranes, arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Many patients' pores scar shut, causing them to retain heat.
