What causes global warming?
As human activity takes place, carbon-dioxide is released. It could also be volcanic eruptions that releases CO2 in the atmosphere. It could also be the Earth's position in space.

What are greenhouse gases?
Gases trapped in the atmosphere
200

What term describes the gradual increase in Earth's average surface temperature?

Global warming.

200
How does planting trees help reduce carbon dioxide levels?
They take in Co2 and release oxygen via photosynthesis.
200

What is the term for the process by which forests are cleared, contributing to increased carbon dioxide levels?

Deforestation.

300

What is the term for a species that is at risk of extinction due to various threats, including habitat loss and climate change? 

Endangered species.

300
How are animals affected by greenhouse gases?
Some animals can only live in cold temperatures and if temperature rises, they can become extinct

How are green houses gases linked to global warming?

The green house gases get trapped in the atmosphere therefore making the temperatures rise

How do forests contribute to the removal of greenhouse gases?

They exchange Co2 (carbon dioxide) for oxygen

400

What does the term "carbon footprint" refer to?

The total amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human activities

Which extreme weather event is becoming more frequent and severe as a result of climate change?

Floods

500
If we continued to damage the earth,how would that affect life?
The atmoshere would overheat and therefore lifeforms would not have enough time to adapt.
500

This human activity is primarily responsible for the increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere

Burning fossil fuels
