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.
100
Name one common greenhouse gas
Carbon Dioxide
100
Name the most common way nature contributes to global warming.
When animals breathe they release Carbon Dioxide Or Depends on answer
100
What are two common ways of transportation that does not add to global warming?
Walking and Biking
100

What is the most abundant natural GHG in the atmosphere?

What is Water Vapour (H2O)

200
How do people cause climate change?
Humans use energy and release carbon dioxide into the air
200
What are greenhouse gases?
Gases trapped in the atmosphere
200
How do volcanoes contribute to global warming?
When they erupt, they release large amounts of Co2
200
How does planting trees help reduce carbon dioxide levels?
They take in Co2 and release oxygen via photosynthesis.

How can earth's forests affect global warming?
The forests use the CO2 in the atmosphere
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 cold-water animal species responding to the increase of temperature in their waters?
Many of the species are dying off, migrating, and breaking patterns of life cycles.

What is a drawback of using wind power as a renewable resource?

It's dependent on weather conditions (wind).

400
Name 3 Greenhouse gases
CO2, methane, water vapor, and nitrous oxide
400
How are green houses gases linked to global warming?
The green house gases get traped in the atmosphere therefore making the temperatures rise
400

How do forests contribute to the removal of greenhouse gases?

They respirate by exchanging Co2 for oxygen

400

What organization was established to present research and models to the UN?

IPCC. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 

400
What do CFC's and deforestation cause?
What is global warming (extra greenhouse gases in the atmosphere).
500
How will climate change affect the ocean?
Polar Ice caps may melt therefore increasing ocean levels.
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
What are 2 alternatives for making electricty that do not contribute to global warming?
Wind and Hydropower
500
What is the evidence that global warming maybe happening?
Temperature changes in ocean, melting ice caps, arctic animals are dying, more hurricances, tornados and thunderstorms
500
What are 3 facts about carbon?
What is an element, abundant in our bodies, moves from living thing to living thing when eaten, in decaying animals and plants, can turn into fossil fuel over millions of years, atomic number is 6, atomic mass is 12.01, symbol is "C" and tons more
