Diagram showing effects on environment: Release of methane (Greenhouse gas) by permafrost → Decrease in albedo effect (leading to global warming) → Increase in floods, submergence of islands; Also shows: Increase in salinity of rivers → Destruction of habitat of marine organisms
- Clear cause-effect relationships shown
- Mentions specific environmental consequences
- Uses diagram effectively
- Addresses both atmospheric and hydrospheric impacts
