Green house effect
The document discusses the greenhouse effect and global warming. The greenhouse effect refers to gases in the atmosphere that trap heat from the sun, causing the Earth's temperature to rise. Global warming is an increase in the Earth's average temperature that results from the greenhouse effect. Some causes of the greenhouse effect and global warming are deforestation, emissions of gases like carbon dioxide and methane, and releases of carbon dioxide from human activities like burning fossil fuels. Consequences of the greenhouse effect and global warming include extreme weather, sea level rise, and impacts on ecosystems and human health and economies. The document provides suggestions for preventing global warming such as reducing energy use and choosing renewable energy sources.
Green house effect
- 1. Green House Effect vs. Global Warming By; Shane JoneS
- 2. Green house effect • The green house effect is the rise in temperature that the earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere trap energy from the sun.
- 3. Global Warming • An increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect.
- 4. Green House • One of the causes of the greenhouse effect is deforestation. • Another source of the greenhouse effect are the emissions of gases like nitrous oxide, carbon-dioxide, methane, ozone and water vapor.
- 5. Global warminG One cause is the release of carbon dioxide from everything such as air planes, buildings, power plants Another cause like the Greenhouse effect is water vapor increasing in the air and deforestation
- 6. Greenhouse Consequences • Due to greenhouse gases, the atmosphere absorbs more infrared energy than it re- radiates to space, resulting in a net warming of the Earth-atmosphere system and of surface temperature • Without the Greenhouse effect our temperature would drop and we would freeze
- 7. Global Warming Consequences • Global Warming has a lot of consequences, It can cause the following: • Extreme Weather • Increase Evaporation • Sea Level Rise • Temperature to Rise • Economy such as, Agriculture, Insurance, Transportation • Ecosystems such as, Forests, Mountains, and Ecological productivity • Health by increasing the risk of spreading disease
- 8. Effort to stop Global Warming • Prevent global warming by minimizing drafts in your home. • Prevent global warming by reducing your waste electricity use. • Prevent global warming with more efficient light bulbs! • Prevent global warming by turning down your hot water heater. • One good way to prevent global warming is choosing to use power produced by alternative means rather than by the burning of fossil fuels, which give off large amounts of carbon dioxide. Solar energy can be a good alternative to use.
