Impact of Climate Change

Using SPECIFIC examples from your country, list the impacts that Climate Change will/ is having on it. You should organize your information based on the impact on the 4 spheres of the Environments. You must
include AT least 4 pictures on your assignment. 1 mark will be given for every example up to a total of 30.

















Algeria Impact of Climate Change

Climate change is having an ever greater impact on Algeria. This is particularly true of the northern part of the country. The average temperature and the number of extreme weather events such as droughts, heavy rainfall and storms are rising. Compounded by highly variable rainfall and a rise in
the sea level. There is a greater risks of loss of areas used for human settlement and agriculture.










Lithosphere-  Droughts are more common and longer.






Hydrosphere- The decrease of water resources declining agricultural production areas and industries are concentrated along a narrow strip of the northern coastline.





Biosphere- Rainfall is fairly abundant along the coastal part of the tell, ranging from forty to sixty-seven centimeters annually, the amount of precipitation increasing from west to east.




Atmosphere-Most of the population and the major agricultural production areas and industries are concentrated along a narrow strip of the northern coastline.
















Northern Algeria is in the temperate zone and its a mild Mediterranean climate. It lies within approximately the same latitudes as southern California and has somewhat similar climate conditions. Its broken topography, however, provides sharp local contrasts in both prevailing temperatures and incidence of rainfall. Year to year variations in climatic conditions are also common.


Temperatures in summer average between 21-24 C and in winter it drops to 10-12 C. Winters are not cold, but the humidity is high and houses are seldom adequately heated. In eastern Algeria the average temperatures are somewhat lower and on the steppes of the high plateaus winter temperatures hover only a few degrees above freezing.












In Algeria Sahara lies across the Tropic of Cancer in the torrid zone, but even in winter, midday desert temperatures can be very hot. And after sunset the dry air permit rapid loss of heat and the nights are cool to chilly which cause enormous daily ranges in temperature.Precipitation is heaviest in the northern part of eastern Algeria, where it reaches as much as 100 centimeters in some years. Farther inland the rainfall is less plentiful. Prevailing winds that are easterly and north-easterly in summer change to westerly and northerly in winter and carry with them a general increase in precipitation from September to December, a decrease in the late winter and spring months, and a near absence of rainfall during the summer months.

Aquaculture cmot

1) Define Aquaculture (1 mark)
2) Look at the Social (on people), environmental, and economic pros and cons of aquaculture. For each of the three you should list 3 pros and 3 cons. (18 marks)
3) Write a short paragraph (7-10 sentences) explaining your point of view on aquaculture. Is it a good thing? A bad thing? Why. Use examples from your pros and cons in #2. (6 marks)







1.) Aquaculture-Also known as Aquafarming is the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish crustaceans,mollusces and aquatic plants.






2)Alot of Fisherimen have to support Aquaculture and harvast many fish and farm any aquatic organisms and many the fish watse can cause decrease dissolved oxygen levels in the water column,putting further pressure on wild animals.But also has a impact on wild fish. Aquaculture is known as Aqua farming that evolve fishes  cultivating freshwater and saltwater populations under controlled conditions, and can be contrasted with commercial fishing, which is the harvesting of wild fish
3 pros - better welfare for the people          3 cons- fish oil
                                                                                 - exploiting wild fisheris
better welfare for the animals                                    -impact on wild fish

• Freedom from hunger & thirst                            - fish waste
• Freedom from discomfort
• Freedom from pain, disease, or injury
• Freedom to express normal behaviour
• Freedom from fear and distress

 Stocked environment

3.) Aquaculture is an especially important economic activity but for my opinon Aquaculture can be a bad thing because of the environmentally damaging than exploiting wild fisheries on a local area basis. Local concerns include waste handling side effects of antibiotics, competition between farmed and wild animals,and using other fish to feed more marketable carnivorous fish.It also cause fish oils and the cause a huge impact on wild fish and leads to a high demand for wild forage fish. It also cause coastal ecosystems and Genetic modification.And the only good thing about Aquaculture is that its improve welfare and global wild fisheries.
