combustion

• the process of burning something

• A gradual increase in average global temperature

• gas (waste) released by plants animals and combustion

• Gases such as carbon dioxide, which trap heat in the atmosphere.

fossil fuels

• Coal, oil, natural gas, and other fuels that are ancient remains of plants and animals.

• forests being cut down which hurts and ecosystem

• the gradual transformation of land into desert

• water that flows over the ground surface rather than soaking into the ground

ozone layer

• Protective layer in the atmosphere that shields earth from UV radiation.

• When chemical pollution forms acids in rain water.

• A body of rock or sediment that stores groundwater and allows the flow of groundwater.

• a barrier that runs across a river or stream to control the flow of wate

• Release of harmful materials into the environment
