This activity invites students to simulate and observe the different effects on sea level from melting sea-ice.
Students examine satellite images of a recently formed island to identify areas of erosion and deposition.
In this activity, students will use sea-level rise data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends. They will then determine whether sea-level rise is occurring based on the data.
The purpose of this activity is to have students use an Earth Systems perspective to identify the various causes associated with changes to Earth's forests as they review Landsat imagery of site locations from around the world.
In this activity, students use satellite images from the NASA Landsat team to quantify changes in glacier cover over time from 1986 to 2018.
Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected.
