Marine Climate Change Impacts
Antarctic
Southern hemisphere continent covered by a large ice sheet. In winter the seas surrounding the continent freeze, therefore tripling its size.
Arctic
Northern hemisphere region, including Siberia and Alaska. Very cold air and seas which influence the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Autotroph
An organism which can make its own 'food' by utilising carbon dioxide (plants).
