  2. Global warming Definition • Global warming- An increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere. • The rise in global temperatures due to an increased greenhouse effect

  3. Cause’s of global warming online • global warming -Carbon Dioxide from Power Plants , Carbon Dioxide Emitted from Cars , Nitrous oxide.

  4. Causes for global warming text • The increase of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.

  5. greenhouse effect causes • caused by the presence in the atmosphere of gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane that allow incoming sunlight to pass through but absorb heat radiated back from the earth's surface. • Natural heating caused by gases in our atmosphere trapping heat

  6. greenhouse effect online definition • greenhouse effect- The phenomenon where by the earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation.

  7. Greenhouse effect text definition • Natural heating caused by atmospheric gases trapping heat at earth’s surface.

  8. Ramifications of global warming online • Consequences of global warming, hotter world, dirtier air and water, more severe floods and droughts, and more wildfires.

  9. Ramifications of global warming text • If the temperature continues to rise ice caps will melt. Lower areas might experience increased flooding, sea level is rising in certain areas.

  10. Ramifications of greenhouse effect online • The burning of fossil fuels adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Therefore places the Earth at risk.

  11. Ramifications for greenhouse effect text • Increased storm surges leading to greater coastal erosion. • Flood frequency and potential damage may increase.

  12. Ways to prevent global warming online • Drive less. Take bikes, walk whenever possible. • Consider investing in a hybrid or electric vehicle to help prevent against further global warming. • Replace all the light bulbs in and around your home.

  13. Ways to prevent global warming text • Conserving electricity • Reduce the amount of fossil fuel that must be burned
