Climate Change

The Law of Conservation of Mass (or Matter) states that

• Mass (or Matter) cannot be created nor destroyed, just change forms.

• Mass (or Matter) cannot be transformed, but can be created or destroyed.

• Mass (or Matter) is infinite in the universe.

• it is against the law for Mass (or Matter) to exist.

What is the Greenhouse Effect? READ ALL ANSWERS VERY CAREFULLY!!!

• Gases trap some of the sun's energy on Earth so they cannot escape into space. This leads to Earth's overall WARMING.

• Gases trap some of the sun's energy on Earth so they cannot escape into space. This leads to overall Earth's COOLING

• An effect that causes the Earth's orbit to change, making the Earth WARMER.

• An effect that causes the Earth's orbit to change, making the Earth COOLER.

• The warming of the Earth's core causes the Earth's surface to get WARMER.
