== Card #20 : Disruption of the Water Cycle ==
=== Description ===
<section begin=Cardadult20Desc />
If the oceans and the atmosphere are hotter, the evaporation that takes place at the ocean surface increases.<br>
This means more rain clouds and more rain. If this happens on land, then the soils dries out.

== Card #21 : Temperature Rise ==
=== Description ===
<section begin=Cardadult21Desc />
Here we are referring to the average temperature of air above the ground on Earth.<br>
It has increased by 1°C since 1900. Depending on the scenarios, the rise in temperature could reach 2°C to 5°C by 2100.<br>
At the end of the last ice age years, the average temperature was only 5°C lower than today... and deglaciation took 10,000 years!

== Card #22 : Sea Level Rise ==
=== Description ===
<section begin=Cardadult22Desc />
Since 1900, sea level has risen by 20 cm.<br>
Sea level rise is caused by the thermal expansion of ocean waters, and the melting of glaciers and continental glaciers.

== Card #23 : Hindered calcification process ==
=== Description ===
<section begin=Cardadult23Desc />
When the pH drops, the formation of calcium carbonate (and more specifically, of calcified shells) becomes more difficult.
<section end=Cardadult23Desc />
=== Causes ===

== Card #24 : Ocean Acidification ==
=== Description ===
<section begin=Cardadult24Desc />
When {{CO2}} dissolves into the ocean, it turns into acid ions (H<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> and HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>–</sup>).<br>
The effect of this transformation is ocean acidification (the pH decreases).

== Card #25 : Terrestrial Biodiversity ==
=== Description ===
<section begin=Cardadult25Desc />
Animals and plants are affected by the changes in temperature and the disruption of the water cycle.<br>
They may migrate, become extinct or, more rarely, proliferate.

== Card #26 : River Flooding ==
=== Description ===
<section begin=Cardadult26Desc />
The disruption of the water cycle can bring more water or less water. More water can lead to river flooding.<br>
If the soil has been dried out by a drought, it makes things worse because the water runs off.

== Card #27 : Marine Biodiversity ==
=== Description ===
<section begin=Cardadult27Desc />
Pteropods and coccolithophores are at the base of the ocean food chain.<br>
Therefore, if they disappear, all marine biodiversity is threatened. The warming of ocean waters also threatens marine biodiversity.

== Card #28 : Vectors of Disease ==
=== Description ===
<section begin=Cardadult28Desc />
With global warming, animals migrate. Some of them carry diseases and can reach areas where the population is not immunized against these diseases.
<section end=Cardadult28Desc />
=== Causes ===
<section begin=Cardadult28Caus />* [[En-en_adult_card_25_terrestrial_biodiversity|Terrestrial Biodiversity]]<section end=Cardadult28Caus />

== Card #29 : Pteropods and Coccolithophores ==
=== Description ===
<section begin=Cardadult29Desc />
Pteropods are a kind of zooplankton and coccolithophores a kind of phytoplankton. These organisms have a calcified shell.
<section end=Cardadult29Desc />
=== Causes ===

== Card #30 : Droughts ==
=== Description ===
<section begin=Cardadult30Desc />
The disruption of the water cycle can bring more water or less water. Less water is a drought. Droughts are likely to become more frequent in the future.
