Problems
this happening to Earth's temperature because of climate change
what is it getting warmer
this is the cleanest use of energy
nukeular
What gas does traveling emmit?
What is CO2?
this is when a change in climate causes effects that make the change even stronger.
what is a positive feedback loop
This is the long term change in Earth's temperature and weather patterns
What is climate change?
this type of weather like very hot days is happening more often
what is extreme heat
this type of energy comes from the Sun and doesn't produce greenhouse gases
what is solar energy
What gas does livestalk emmit?
What is Mehtane?
as ice melts Earth absorbs more heat because this darker surface is exposed
This term means the warming of Earth's surface over time
What is global warming?
this happens when there is not enough rain for a long time
what is a drought
riding a bike walking or taking a bus instead of driving helps reduce these
what are carbon emissions
What material is used for most bulding, sidewalks, and roads that effect the climate?
What is Concrete?
when temperature rise this frozen ground thaws and releases greenhouse gases
what is permafrost
These are gases that trap heat in Earth's atmosphere
What are greenhouse gases?
as ice melts this is happening to the level of the oceans
what is rising
planting more of these helps absorb carbon dioxide from the air
what are trees
What uses lots of water and fossel fuels?
What is AI?
warmer air holds more of this which is also a greenhouse gas
what is water vapor
This is the layer of gases surrounding the Earth
What is the atmosphere?
extreme heat, drought, and strom can lead to this global issue where people don't have enough to eat
what is food insecurity
switching from fossil fuel to wind and solar is part of this energy transfer
what is renewable energy
This human activity increases carbon by removing trees that store carbon?
What is Deforestation?
this type of feedback loop slows down or reduces climate change effects
what is a negative feedback loop
This is the trapping of heat by gases in the atmosphere, like a blanket around the Earth
What is the greenhouse effect?
