| Give four ways scientists are measuring changes in environments using non-living methods. | 1) Satellites 2) Automatic weather stations 3) Rain gauges 4) dissolved oxygen meters |
| How do Satellites measure environmental change? | They measure the temperature of the sea surface and the amount of snow and ice cover there is |
| How do automatic weather stations measure environment change? | They tell use the atmospheric temperature at various locations |
| How do rain gauges measure environmental change? | They measure how much it rains a year |
