Which of the following local environmental changes will not have global effects? a. decline of glacial ice in russia b. an increase in the annual melt season in the antarctic peninsula c. the early arrival of spring in new hampshire d. none of the above

d. none of the above

The changes that occur in the local environment can have it's impact on the global environment. The burning of the fossil fuels and deforestation at the local level can influence the temperature and other climatic factors at the global level. The changes that occur in the composition of air in one location can affect the changes in air that occur in other locations. The same is true with the water, the changes that occur in water of one region can influence the water cycle of that particular region and the water cycle all over the world.

The decline of glacial ice in Russia, an increase in the annual melt season in the Antarctic peninsula and the early arrival of spring in New Hampshire are the examples of local climatic changes which do not influence the global environment.  

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.
