Green House Gases- Global Warming

Front

What is the primary greenhouse gas responsible for trapping heat in the atmosphere?

Back

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Front

What term describes the average weather conditions in a particular area over a long period?

Back

Climate

Front

What evidence supports the occurrence of global warming over the past century?

Back

Rising global temperatures.

Front

What would happen to Earth’s temperature without the greenhouse effect?

Back

The Earth would be significantly colder.

Front

How do trees contribute to reducing global warming?

Back

Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Front

What is the greenhouse effect?

Back

The process by which certain gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, keeping the planet warm.

Front

Name two other greenhouse gases besides carbon dioxide.

Back

Methane (CH4) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O).

Front

What human activities contribute to the increase of greenhouse gases?

Back

Burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes.

Front

What is the role of methane in global warming?

Back

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat more effectively than carbon dioxide.

Front

How does deforestation impact carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere?

Back

Deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb CO2, leading to higher atmospheric CO2 levels.
