Global warming is causing both positive and negative impacts for the UK. Potential positive impacts include longer growing seasons and the ability to grow new crops in southern parts of the country. However, negative impacts outweigh the positives, such as many coastal areas being flooded by rising sea levels, loss of farmland and natural areas, and increased extreme weather events. International agreements like the Kyoto Protocol have aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate global warming, but signing and enforcement among countries has been a challenge.
This document discusses the regional impacts of global warming across various continents. Some key points include:
- In Europe, southern countries will experience extreme drought while northern areas enjoy more moderate climates. Heat waves and floods will cause damage to human life and economies. Agricultural production may rise due to higher CO2 levels.
- In Africa, droughts will devastate agriculture and reduce water levels in rivers and lakes. Coastal areas face threats from rising seas. Species loss is a major concern.
- Australia and Oceania will see changing ecosystems with drier conditions and more fires and cyclones. The Great Barrier Reef is threatened with higher temperatures. Low-lying Pacific islands are at risk from sea level rise.
Global warming is caused by an increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide that trap heat in the atmosphere. This disrupts ocean circulation and causes sea level rise, flooding coastal areas. Other effects include more extreme weather, water shortages, agricultural issues, species extinction, and increased disease. While some Arctic areas may see milder climates, the overall disadvantages of global warming outweigh any advantages. The document outlines the greenhouse effect and various negative impacts of the phenomenon.
Global warming from my classmate Mr. Noilan Arasola..hope it will helpJoy Pasia
Global warming is the rise in average global temperatures from the late 19th century to present day caused by increasing greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. If it continues unchecked, global warming will likely cause sea levels to rise and weather patterns to change, expanding deserts while increasing heat waves, droughts and heavy rainfall. It may also acidify oceans and cause some species to go extinct.
Belarus faces several ecological problems including 18% of its soil being unfit for farming due to radiation from the Chernobyl nuclear accident, many soils beginning to erode as a result of changes to hydrological regimes from land reclamation, and its rivers being moderately polluted primarily by oil products, detergents, fertilizers, and pesticides.
The document discusses various effects of climate change such as more extreme storms, droughts, hurricanes, and floods. It explains that the increasing greenhouse effect from burning fossil fuels is trapping heat in the atmosphere and causing the average temperature of the earth to rise. If emissions are not reduced, scientists predict the global temperature will increase by 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit in this century, which will have widespread consequences like rising sea levels, more frequent heat waves and droughts, expanded ranges for disease-carrying insects, and increased species extinction.
This document discusses droughts in Jaisalmer, India and proposes solutions. It provides background information on Jaisalmer's climate and average rainfall. Droughts are caused by below average rainfall and reduced water vapor in the atmosphere. Droughts impact agriculture and can lead to migration, famine, and economic impacts. Current responses include government financial support and collecting funds from other countries. Proposed long-term solutions include building an underground water storage system to collect rainy season water and reuse water through methods like 3Rs to conserve limited water supplies during droughts.
Flooding and sea level rise due to climate change will have significant economic impacts for many countries if events like the melting of Greenland or parts of the Arctic occur. Higher temperatures are also leading to more intense natural disasters like hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones that cause damage. Droughts negatively impact economies by reducing crop growth and fish populations for agriculture and fishing, and can increase malnutrition and famine by decreasing available food and water.

The document describes the four seasons and their characteristics. In spring it is warm and plants and flowers grow. In summer it is hot and some plants and trees have fruit. In autumn it rains and leaves usually fall off the trees. Winter is cold, it snows, and trees can have no leaves.
The document discusses drought, including what causes drought, how it affects more economically developed countries (MEDC's) and less economically developed countries (LEDC's), and ways to control and reduce the effects of drought. It focuses on drought in the Sahel region of Africa as a case study, noting that drought is caused by factors like the position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) not moving far enough north, bringing less rain. Human activities like desertification from overcultivation and overgrazing have also exacerbated drought in the Sahel. The document recommends various solutions for MEDC's and LEDC's to control drought such as building dams, introducing drought-resistant crops, afforestation
The water cycle involves water evaporating from surfaces, rising into the air as vapor, condensing to form clouds, and falling as rain or snow to rivers and lakes. Water then either evaporates again or flows into oceans, from which the cycle repeats. Key steps include evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and the collection of water in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and oceans.
Global warming refers to the gradual rise in Earth's average surface temperature. The document discusses several ways that global warming is a serious issue, including more frequent and severe weather events, higher death rates, dirtier air quality, increased wildlife extinction, more acidic oceans, and rising sea levels. All of these impacts threaten both human and natural systems. The conclusion emphasizes that human activity is the main driver of global warming and hopes to increase awareness of this important issue.
Global warming is a gradual increase in the Earth's temperature caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trapping heat in the atmosphere. This occurs when these gases absorb sunlight and radiation that would otherwise escape into space. If left unaddressed, global warming will have severe effects like melting glaciers and ice sheets, rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and disruption of habitats leading to mass extinctions of plants and animals.
Climate change is having major impacts on Pacific Island states. It is affecting poor communities first and most severely. Rainfall and drought patterns have changed, causing water shortages in several Pacific countries. The increasing frequency and severity of disasters like droughts puts food supplies and livelihoods at risk. Climate change also poses greater health risks as it exacerbates problems like diarrhea and illnesses. Rising sea levels already require some Pacific Islanders to relocate, and climate impacts could increase the potential for conflict as more people become displaced.
Brighton is located in southern England on the coast. It has a population of around 155,000 people. Some notable landmarks include the Royal Pavilion built in the 18th century. Brighton experiences a temperate maritime climate with average temperatures ranging from 4°C in winter to 17°C in summer and receives around 850mm of rain annually.
Causes and consequences of climatic changes oralTamires Cordeiro

Indicators of global warming include thawing in the Andes, unusual hurricanes, hotter summers in the northern hemisphere, severe droughts in wet regions, and seasonal disorders. The trends show a predicted increase in global temperatures and sea levels by 2100 along with changes to precipitation patterns and disturbances to carbon cycles. The main causes are greenhouse gas emissions from human activities while the consequences are global warming and a stronger greenhouse effect.
This presentation discusses the impact of drought on the people of Senegal and Sudan. Drought is a weather-related natural disaster that affects large regions for months or years by reducing food production and water supplies. While drought harms many communities, some individuals can benefit economically, such as sellers who can charge higher prices for scarce goods. The presentation examines the specific challenges faced in Senegal and Sudan, including problems securing clean water, impacts on daily life and food security, and effects on the global economy. Solutions proposed to address drought include building water pipes, planting more trees, and constructing dams to store rainwater.
Water evaporates from bodies of water and rises into the atmosphere with heat. As the warm air cools and expands higher in the sky, the water vapor condenses into droplets which grow larger. When the droplets become too heavy, they fall to the ground as rain, snow, sleet or hail. Air pollution occurs when fossil fuels are burned, releasing nitrogen and sulfur oxides into the atmosphere. These gases can dissolve into acid rain and particles can reduce visibility and impact health. Water covers most of the earth but is found in oceans, ice caps, snow, and underground. Many areas face water shortages in summer and rural populations must travel long distances to collect water. Water availability determines what species can survive in an area

Roman gardens served as peaceful refuges from urban life and held religious and symbolic meanings. As Roman culture developed and was influenced by other civilizations, gardens expanded and thrived in Rome. Private Roman gardens typically included three sections - the xystus terrace connecting to the home, the lower ambulation garden for walking and enjoying nature, and the gestation avenue partially encircling the ambulation. Gardens were adapted for homes of average Romans and settlements throughout the Roman Empire, following formal designs with geometry, balance, and symmetry. Mosaic gardens further beautified villas like the renowned Villa Romana del Casale in Sicily.

1) Ancient Greek society was hierarchical, with male citizens having the most power and slaves having the least. 2) Theatre and public life were largely restricted to men, while women's roles focused on domestic duties like weaving. 3) The Greek economy consisted of agriculture, fishing, trade, and crafts like pottery, with occupations including farmers, craftsmen, merchants, and slaves.
Ancient Greek art and culture flourished for over a thousand years, beginning in the Mycenaean period and evolving through the Classical and Hellenistic eras. Notable developments include advancing from geometric to naturalistic styles of sculpture and the emergence of democracy and other systematic fields of thought in Classical Athens. Greek art and architecture emphasized ideals of beauty, balance, and proportion that strongly influenced Western civilization.
Introduction to Ancient Greece powerpointMr Halligan
The document provides background information on ancient Greece, including its geography, development of city-states, and rivalry between Athens and Sparta. The mountainous landscape of Greece encouraged the formation of independent city-states along the coasts but also isolated communities. Athens developed the world's first democracy while Sparta was known for its powerful warrior culture and discipline. The two city-states eventually went to war in the Peloponnesian War, during which a plague helped lead to Athens' defeat.
Greek architecture was dominated by temples built to honor gods. The Greeks developed three architectural orders - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian - each with distinct proportions and detailing. The Parthenon, built in the 5th century BC on the Acropolis in Athens as a temple to Athena, exemplifies the ideals of Greek architecture through its Doric style. Greek theaters evolved from open areas to more elaborate structures but retained the basic layout, with audiences standing or sitting to watch plays about myths and legends.
The document discusses different types of historic gardens from around the world including Egyptian, Greek/Roman, Mughal, and Persian gardens. Egyptian gardens featured trees like sycamores and date palms grown in rows, as well as ponds and flowers. Greek gardens were mainly utilitarian while Roman gardens were more decorative, featuring statues and a variety of flowers. Persian gardens originated as oases with cross-shaped water channels and were influential on Mughal gardens, which combined Islamic and Indian influences and featured rectilinear layouts, fountains, and pools within walled enclosures.
Ancient Greece had a mountainous landscape that divided the people into independent city-states. Two major city-states were Athens, which developed the world's first democracy, and Sparta, which was a strict military state. The Greeks developed advanced thinking through philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. They also fought the Persians and each other in wars that weakened Greece. Subsequently, Alexander the Great conquered much of the known world and spread Greek culture before his early death. The resulting Hellenistic period saw advancements in science, math, and a blending of cultures across Europe and Asia.
The document provides an overview of different landscape philosophies and garden designs from around the world, including ancient, Islamic, Japanese, Chinese, European, and traditional Balinese gardens. It discusses the key characteristics of each type of garden, such as Islamic gardens being enclosed spaces without sculptures and providing shade. It also outlines the purposes of landscaping, including beautification, environmental control, recreation, and socioeconomic benefits. Finally, it defines the elements of landscape as softscaping, including plants and flowers, and hardscaping, such as walls, patios and water features.
The document provides information about Greece. It discusses Greece's ancient history and the significance of Greek art, philosophy and science in developing Western culture. It notes that Greece's location exposed it to invasions. It then provides details on Greece's geography, climate, natural resources, agriculture, cities, mountains, rivers and islands. It discusses Greece's environmental issues of air and water pollution. Finally, it summarizes some of Greece's most popular tourist destinations like the Acropolis in Athens, Santorini island known for its Minoan civilization, and the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion.
The document provides information about Greece. It discusses Greece's ancient history and the significance of Greek ideas in developing Western culture and democracy. It describes Greece's location in Southern Europe and climate variation due to its geographical position. Key facts include Athens being the capital city, Mount Olympus being the highest point, and the Aegean Sea surrounding over 6,000 Greek islands. Greece's economy relies heavily on tourism, with attractions including ancient sites like the Acropolis in Athens, Santorini known for its volcanic eruption, and the Temple of Poseidon providing scenic views.
Portugal is located on the Iberian Peninsula in Western Europe, bordered by Spain to the north and east and the Atlantic Ocean to the south and west. The climate varies significantly from north to south, with the north experiencing cold, rainy winters while the south has hot, dry weather. Portugal's geography is also marked by coastal regions, river valleys, mountains and islands like Madeira and the Azores. The document then provides brief descriptions of Portugal's eight geographical regions and some of its important cities.
Southern Europe includes Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece. It is located along the Mediterranean Sea and consists of three peninsulas - the Iberian, Italian, and Greek peninsulas. The land contains coastal lowlands, river valleys, and mountainous upland areas. The climate is generally warm and sunny, with mild winters and potential flooding. Resources include minerals, marble, hydroelectric power, and tourism along the important Mediterranean Sea trade routes.
Greece has a mild climate and extensive coastline with thousands of islands, making it an ideal location for sea tourism. It hosts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, from the turquoise waters of Voutoumi Beach to the unique landscape of Sarakinko Beach. The country also offers mountainous regions, historical villages, and various outdoor activities like paragliding that can be enjoyed taking advantage of the warm, sunny weather throughout much of the year.

Greece has a rugged landscape with many mountains, making transportation difficult and farming limited. This geography encouraged the Greeks to become skilled sailors and traders. They traded goods like olive oil and pottery to acquire necessities like grain. The Greeks also developed an alphabet adapted from other traders and new forms of culture that would influence Western civilization.
The document describes the different climate zones and biogeography of Europe and Spain. It outlines five main climate types for Europe: maritime, Mediterranean, continental, alpine, and polar. Each climate type is associated with characteristic vegetation and fauna. For Spain specifically, it notes the oceanic/Mediterranean, interior Mediterranean, alpine, and Canarian climates, along with typical plants and animals for each region.
