Greenhouse gases
CFCs stands for_________________?
chlorofluorocarbons
What is ocean currents?
- continuous movement of the ocean caused by the winds, earth's gravity, and earth's density.
It brings drought which can last for a very long time.
El Nino
What type of greenhouse gas is released when oil is burned?
Carbon dioxide
- found in air conditioners, refrigerators, spray cans and others.
CFCs
Differentiate leeward side and windward side.
Windward side is where the wind moves upward which cause rainfall and makes the climate cooler while the leeward side is where the wind moves downward which makes the air dry and warm.
Rising of temperature causes the _________ to rise.
sea level
Yes or No:
Weather is the atmospheric condition that can quickly change in a year.
No
- from burning fossil fuels used in cars.
Carbon dioxide
Explain how altitude affects the climate.
The higher the place the colder the climate and the thinner the air becomes.
Tropical cyclones are stronger, with heavier rainfall and higher wind speeds.
Extreme weather
The general condition of the atmosphere within a year is known as what?
Climate
- comes from rice paddies, and livestock digestion.
Methane
Explain how latitude affects the climate.
Latitude affects climate because it controls how much sunlight a place receives where areas near the equator get direct sunlight all year, making the climate hot, while places closer to the poles get less sunlight, making the climate cold.
It brings heavy rainfall for a very long time which leads to floods.
La Nina
What type of greenhouse gas is released in landfills? (methane or carbon dioxide)
Methane
Explain how the gases contribute to climate change.
Greenhouse gases trap heat in Earth’s atmosphere, intensifies the natural greenhouse effect and causes global warming.
Explain why Baguio is colder than the other places.
Because it is located high up in the mountains, where the latitude is high which makes the air thinner.
Explain how the rising of temperature causes floods and islands to submerge.
When the temperature rises, the ice and glaciers from the poles starts to melt going to the bodies of water which makes the sea level rises.
What does 3Rs stand for?
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
