Global Warming

Front

What is global warming?

Back

Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases.

Front

What are greenhouse gases?

Back

Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O).

Front

What is the Greenhouse Effect?

Back

The Greenhouse Effect is the process by which certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat, preventing it from escaping into space, thus warming the planet.

Front

What is the main cause of global warming?

Back

The main cause of global warming is the burning of fossil fuels, which releases large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Front

How does deforestation contribute to global warming?

Back

Deforestation contributes to global warming by reducing the number of trees that can absorb CO2, leading to higher concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Front

What is the impact of global warming on sea levels?

Back

Global warming causes sea levels to rise due to the melting of ice caps and glaciers, as well as the thermal expansion of seawater.

Front

What are some effects of climate change?

Back

Effects of climate change include more frequent and severe weather events, rising sea levels, loss of biodiversity, and changes in agricultural productivity.

Front

What role do oceans play in global warming?

Back

Oceans absorb a significant amount of CO2 and heat, but as they warm, their ability to absorb CO2 decreases, exacerbating global warming.

Front

What is carbon footprint?

Back

A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted directly or indirectly by an individual, organization, event, or product, usually measured in carbon dioxide equivalents.

Front

What is climate change?

Back

Climate change refers to significant changes in global temperatures and weather patterns over time, which can be caused by natural processes or human activities.
