Summary:
Climate change is affecting streams and rivers. Streams and rivers are likely to be highly sensitive to climate. Climate change is also affecting the habitat of some animals living in those streams or rivers. Studies predict that every degree the temperature rises 21% of the stream decreses. The number of species could also decrease 12-25% in the next 50 years. The climate change also causes other problems such as effects of acid rain.

Questions:
  1. What are some ways this phenomenon could be stopped? we cant really change the climate. But we could not pollute the streams and rivers and that possibly could help.
  2. Is there anything you could do to contribute to the reversal? stop pollution maybe
  3. List three things you learned from this article in your own words. It is affecting our streams and rivers. It alsl affecting habitat to some animals. The number of species could decrease alot over time.
  4. What impact would the continuance of these process have on the biosphere? No more species in river or streams, thr drying up of river or streams
