Chapter 16 Global Climate Change

What is the Greenhouse Affect?

• As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures increase

• Condition that is caused by carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere

• causes sea levels to rise because it adds water to the ocean.

• The cooling of Earth due to air pollution.

Why is Carbon Dioxide considered to be a Greenhouse Gas?

• It is a combination of natural and human forces

• It has a biogeochemical cycle

• It is a type of weather that occurs during a particular season

• It absorbs and reradiates infrared radiation to warm the Earth

What is one way volcanic eruptions can effect climate?

• When a volcano errupts, secondary succession begins

• Lava is hot which makes the community hotter

• Ash blocks sunlight, causing temperatures to drop
