Title: Global warming and Greenhouse effect


1
Global warming and Greenhouse effect
  • Zephaniah Bateman
  • Sebastian Robinson

2
Global warming Definition
  • Global warming- An increase in the average
    temperature of the earth's atmosphere.
  • The rise in global temperatures due to an
    increased greenhouse effect

3
Causes of global warming online
  • global warming -Carbon Dioxide from Power Plants
    , Carbon Dioxide Emitted from Cars , Nitrous
    oxide.

4
Causes for global warming text
  • The increase of greenhouse gases in our
    atmosphere.

5
greenhouse effect causes
  • caused by the presence in the atmosphere of gases
    such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane
    that allow incoming sunlight to pass through but
    absorb heat radiated back from the earth's
    surface.
  • Natural heating caused by gases in our atmosphere
    trapping heat

6
greenhouse effect online definition
  • greenhouse effect- The phenomenon where by the
    earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation.

7
Greenhouse effect text definition
  • Natural heating caused by atmospheric gases
    trapping heat at earths surface.

8
Ramifications of global warming online
  • Consequences of global warming, hotter world,
    dirtier air and water, more severe floods and
    droughts, and more wildfires.

9
Ramifications of global warming text
  • If the temperature continues to rise ice caps
    will melt. Lower areas might experience increased
    flooding, sea level is rising in certain areas.

10
Ramifications of greenhouse effect online
  • The burning of fossil fuels adds carbon dioxide
    to the atmosphere. Therefore places the Earth at
    risk.

11
Ramifications for greenhouse effect text
  • Increased storm surges leading to greater coastal
    erosion.
  • Flood frequency and potential damage may
    increase.

12
Ways to prevent global warming online
  • Drive less. Take bikes, walk whenever possible.
  • Consider investing in a hybrid or electric
    vehicle to help prevent against further global
    warming.
  • Replace all the light bulbs in and around your
    home.

13
Ways to prevent global warming text
  • Conserving electricity
  • Reduce the amount of fossil fuel that must be
    burned
