CLASS :   KAPPA-2 PRESENTED BY: T.PURUSHOTHAM
GLOBAL WARMING IT IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST PROBLEMS FACED BY MANKIND TODAY
We need to understand ,[object Object]
What are the causes for this global warming?
What are the harmful effects of this on our mother earth?
How can we prevent global warming?
What are the steps taken by the government in this aspect?
What we students can do to prevent such a big global problem?
Global warming ,[object Object]
[object Object]
The main cause for the global warming are green house gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone and methane which are responsible for  GREEN HOUSE EFFECT
 
EMISSION OF CO 2  INTO ATMOSPHERE
POLAR ICE CAPS MELTING
MELTING GLACIERS IN HIMALAYAS
DISGUSTING EFFECTS ,[object Object]
Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice.
EFFECTS ,[object Object]
Warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe, though the nature of these regional variations are uncertain.
Greenland is now losing 20 percent more mass than it receives from new snowfall each year. Greenland Ice Sheet

Editor's Notes

  1. The February 9, 2007 image shows the area previously occupied by Larsen B ice shelf seen as semi-circular area at the right side of the image. The resulting icebergs from the disintegration flowed to the Weddell sea. These icebergs wouldn’t have raised the sea level since the ice shelf was already floating in water and occupied as much volume as the water that would have been generated when it melted. However, these ice shelves act as brakes to the glaciers flowing out to the sea. So the loss of these shelves can speed up the flow of glaciers to the sea, which can result in the rise of sea level.
  2. These photographs show an enlarged eastward-looking view of a small section of the Hubbard Glacier terminus and the evolution of the “squeeze-push” moraine in front of Gilbert Point that blocked the tidal exchange between Disenchantment Bay (bottom of photos) and Russell Fiord (top of photos), creating Russell Lake which rose to 18.6 metres (61 feet) above sea level over 21⁄2 months before it finally outburst on 14 August 2002, creating the second largest glacial lake outburst worldwide in historical times.
  3. The response to climate change is being observed with the receding glaciers.
  4. The San Quintín Glacier is the largest outflow glacier of the Northern Patagonian Ice Field located in southern region of Chile. As seen in the photographs, this glacier appears to be retreating and losing mass in recent years.
