Provide an example of climate for a dessert
Dry conditions and little rain
This term describes a long-term increase in Earth's average temperature
What is global warming?
Describes plants releasing water vapour into the air
What is one human activity that adds extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere
Deforestation/Burning Fossil Fuels
Why are most gases found in the troposphere
Because gravity pulls gases closer to Earth's surface
Because climate change is measured over long periods of time.
What do greenhouse gases do?
Trap heat in the atmosphere
Water soaking into the ground is called
What is it called when the ocean absorbs too much carbon dioxide
What is ocean acidification

Why do scientists use averages when studying climate and over how long of a time period is usually measured?
identify long-term patterns rather than short-term variation and it is usually measured over 30 years
Explain the difference between the natural greenhouse effect and the enhanced greenhouse effect.
Enhanced greenhouse effect is from human activities that release more greenhouse gases which trap extra heat
How could global warming impact on the water cycle
Explain how deforestation disrupts the carbon-dioxide cycle
Fewer trees means less CO₂ removed and less oxygen produced
