What is global warming?

Back

Global warming is 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 that trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect. Examples include carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O).

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 and warming the planet.

Front

What is carbon dioxide (CO₂)?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a colorless gas produced by burning fossil fuels and is a major contributor to global warming.

Front

What are the main causes of global warming?

Back

The main causes of global warming include burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes.

Front

What is deforestation?

Back

Deforestation is the clearing of forests, which reduces the number of trees that can absorb CO₂, contributing to global warming.

Front

What are natural disasters?

Back

Natural disasters are severe and extreme weather events caused by environmental factors, such as hurricanes, floods, and wildfires, often exacerbated by global warming.

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 impact of plastic bags on global warming?

Back

Using plastic bags contributes to global warming because their production and disposal release greenhouse gases.

Front

What is extreme climate change?

Back

Extreme climate change refers to severe alterations in climate patterns, leading to more intense weather events and environmental impacts.
