Hot Turtles

1) Climate Change
Our earth has warming.  over the past century our Earths temperature has risen 1.4 degrees F. and is still warming up this very moment.  When the climate of the Earth changes everything is affected.  everything living on this earth has adapted to the earth and its original form.  when climates change humans and other organisms aren't prepared to live in those conditions which causes them to have serious problems.  People are the main reason for climate change.  Humans can produce bad carbons and gases that get traped in the earth and make a blanket which blocks out what we need.  this affects us all.


2) Amazon Turtles
When turtles lay their eggs the temperature of the sand determines the whether the turtle will be male or female.  when the sand is hotter the baby turtle will be female and if its a colder temperature the baby turtles will be male.  the concern that turtles face when dealing with temperature is if the climate changes and increase there could be a risk of all the turtles becoming female which means there would be no possible way to pro create.  which would adventully mean the turtle would die off. turtle play a major role in the world turtles eat plants and berries and the when they poop the seeds from the plants land and re plant.


3) what can we do
Well we know turtles lay their eggs on the sand and the temperature determine the gender of the new turtle.  if we are worried all the turtles will be born female, we should dig up some of the eggs and relocate them to a much cooler area or an incubater that keeps the eggs cooler.
