Global Warming and Climate Chnage

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.

What are greenhouse gases?

Back

Greenhouse gases are gases in Earth's atmosphere that trap heat, 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 greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, keeping the Earth warm enough to support life.

Front

What are fossil fuels?

Back

Fossil fuels are natural substances formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals, including coal, oil, and natural gas.

Front

How do fossil fuels contribute to global warming?

Back

Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which contribute to global warming.

Front

What role do trees play in combating global warming?

Back

Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases.

Front

What is an alternative fuel?

Back

Alternative fuels are energy sources that can replace fossil fuels, such as solar, wind, and biofuels.

Front

What is climate change?

Back

Climate change refers to significant changes in global temperatures and weather patterns over time, often linked to global warming.

Front

What is the ozone layer?

Back

The ozone layer is a region of Earth's stratosphere that contains a high concentration of ozone (O3) and protects the planet from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Front

What is the impact of melting ice caps?

Back

Melting ice caps contribute to rising sea levels, which can lead to coastal flooding and loss of habitat.
