Greenhouse effect powerpoint

2. •Rise in Earth’ s temperature
•By certain atmospheric
gases
•That trap the Sun’ s energy

3. • Water vapor (H2O)
• Carbon dioxide
(CO2)
• Nitrous oxide (N2O)
• Methane (CH4)

4. •Heat would escape back into space
•Earth’ s temperature would be 60ºF colder
•Makes Earth suitable for life

5. •Trap heat from sun
•Glass lets in light
•Glass keeps heat
from escaping
•Causes greenhouse to
heat up

6. • Glass lets in light
• Glass keeps heat from
escaping
• Causes the car to heat up

8. • Sun’ s energy passes through atmosphere
• 26% is reflected or scattered
• 19% absorbed by clouds, gases,
and
uurrffaaccee
particles
• 4% reflected to space by
s
• 51% reaches the surface

9. • Heating of the ground
• Melting of ice and
snow
• Evaporation of water
• Plant photosynthesis

10. • Deforestation and agriculture
• Burning of fossil fuels, gasoline,
oil
• Burning of wood and coal
• CFC’ s
• Population Growth

11. • Global Warming
• Endangered
Species
• Climate Change

12. •Heat trapped inside Earth
•General warming effect
created
•Increase in air and
ocean temperatures
•Vital issue in society

13. • Greenhouse gases increase through
human
activity
• Deforestation
• Use of fertilizers
• Burning of organic
matter
• Burning of fossil fuels

14. •Climate changes
•Changes in wildlife adaptations
and cycles
•Melting of polar ice caps
•Increase in sea level
•Flooding in coastal areas
•Ocean Acidification

15. • Species bec oming endangere
d/extinct
• Heavy drought
• Spread of disease
• Rise in tide s
• Change in weather patterns

16. •Natural
resources
depleted
•Need balance between
environment and industry

17. • Reforestation
• Personal
Actions
• Climate Policy

19. • Put notesaway
• Pull out a sheet ofpaper
• Answer the followingquestions
– Describe the greenhouseeffect
– List the possible causes of greenhouse effect
– List the possible causes ofglobal warming
– List the consequences of globalwarming
