Research & Language
a careful study done to find and report new information about something
Research
a localized, very intense low-pressure wind system, forming over tropical oceans and with winds of hurricane force.
Tropical Storm
when certain gases in the earth’s atmosphere trap or hold heat, created by the sun.
Greenhouse Effect
gases that trap or hold heat created by the sun
Greenhouse Gases
the smallest piece of a substance
Element
a scientific test where you perform a series of actions and carefully observe what happens in order to learn about something
Experiment
a tropical storm in the region of the Indian or western Pacific oceans.
Typhoon
natural materials such as oil, coal, or gas that are burned to create energy

Atmosphere
the most common of all the greenhouse gases that has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom
Water Vapor
Facts or signs that help prove something?
Evidence
it's an extremely large, powerful storm with very strong winds that occurs especially in the western part of the Atlantic Ocean.
Hurricane
the destruction or clearing of forest to make land available for another use

Intensifier Adjectives
a lack of food leading to malnutrition
Food Insecurity
process involving the burning of waste
Incineration
the production and discharge of something, especially gas or radiation.
Emissions

A hydrocarbon gas produced both through natural sources and human activities, including the decomposition of wastes in landfills, agriculture, and especially rice cultivation, as well as ruminant digestion and manure management associated with domestic livestock.
Methane
involves searching for specific information in a reading. Usually look for names, numbers, places, or certain words or phrases.
Scanning
illnesses like dengue, Japanese Encephalitis, and West Nile Virus
Mosquito-borne illnesses
a place to bury waste
Landfill
a type of energy commonly known as heat
Infrared Radiation
A powerful greenhouse gas produced by soil cultivation practices, especially the use of commercial and organic fertilizers, fossil fuel combustion, nitric acid production, and biomass burning.
Nitrous Oxide
