What is Climate Change?

Back

Climate Change refers to significant changes in global temperatures and weather patterns over time, primarily driven by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes.

Front

How does carbon dioxide affect climate?

Back

As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures increase, leading to global warming.

Front

What is a natural source of greenhouse gases?

Back

Volcanic eruptions are a natural source of greenhouse gases.

Front

What is the direct cause of rising sea levels?

Back

Melting Land Ice is the direct cause of rising sea levels.

Front

What effect do more greenhouse gases have on the atmosphere?

Back

More greenhouse gases lead to more warming of the atmosphere.

Front

What gas is a major contributor to global warming?

Back

Carbon Dioxide is a major contributor to global warming.

Front

What are greenhouse gases?

Back

Front

What is the greenhouse effect?

Back

The greenhouse effect is the process by which certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat, keeping the planet warm enough to support life.

Front

What human activities contribute to climate change?

Back

Burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes contribute to climate change.

Front

What is the role of deforestation in climate change?

Back

Deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide, increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
