READING SUMMARY WORKSHEET

Unit: __ Reading Title: RISING SEA

1. What is the reading passage mostly about?

The reason why leading to higher sea levels.
2. What places are mentioned in the reading?
Poles, Equator, Southern Hemisphere.
3. In a few words, give the topic or main idea of each paragraph

P1: Earth's surface air and ocean temperatures have increased,leading to higher sea
levels.
P2: Ocean model suggesting sea level rise may be less than previously predicted,
despite the ocean's non-one-dimensional nature.
P3: In 1986, climate change forum predicted sea-level rises of 20 cm and 1.4 m due to
atmospheric temperature increases, with 2050 projections of 15 cm and 70 cm.
P4: Ocean complexities, volume, currents, land masses, and atmosphere influence are
challenging to accurately model. Conventional models suggest vertical diffusion, but
measurements show lower rates.
P5: Early work overlooked ocean water movement in three dimensions, neglecting
advection, a process where properties like heat and salinity are transported by air or
water movement.
P6: Gyres in oceans store more heat than the atmosphere, originating from the Sun's
heat reaching the Equator. Warm air rises and draws more, driving ocean currents.
P7: Water moves poleward at the Equator, twisted by Earth's rotation and continents'
positions. Circular movements occur in the Southern Hemisphere, flowing eastward
and towards the Poles.
P8: Ocean currents from a conveyor belt distribute heat, causing sea levels to rise
unevenly. However, global warming may alter wind strength and distribution,
potentially increasing sea levels in some areas.

4. Make a list of 10 highlighted words in the text. Then make a sentence for each

dimensional
The physicist theorized about the existence of a tenth, unseen
dimensional plane.
oceanographers Oceanographers spend months at sea collecting data to understand
the complex ecosystems of the deep.
diffuse The sunlight streamed through the leaves of the tree, casting a
diffuse glow on the forest floor.
gyres Vast plastic gyres swirl in the ocean, accumulating marine debris
over time.
Equator Due to its proximity to the equator, the island nation enjoys a
warm climate year-round.
Hemisphere Due to the Earth's tilt, the Northern Hemisphere experiences
winter while the Southern Hemisphere basks in summer sunshine.
beneath Beneath the rustling leaves of the old oak tree, a family enjoyed
their picnic lunch.
subduction The tremendous pressure caused by the subduction of the oceanic
plate created a chain of towering volcanoes along the coast.
interior The designer completely revamped the restaurant's interior,
creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
diffusion The aroma of freshly baked bread underwent a process of
diffusion, slowly filling the entire house with its warm, inviting
scent.
persist Despite the heavy rain, the hikers persisted in their climb to reach
the summit before nightfall.
