  • Greenhouse gases contribute to global warming by trapping heat
  • What are some key effects of global warming on ecosystems?
    Temperature increases, habitat loss
  • Sustainable practices can reduce the carbon footprint.

    True
  • Global warming is primarily caused by the rise of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
  • Deforestation is a major cause of greenhouse gas emissions.
    True
  • Key effects of global warming on ecosystems include more frequent and intense extreme weather events
  • What are the main causes of global warming?
    Increased greenhouse gas emissions
  • Match the greenhouse gas with its source:
    Carbon Dioxide (CO2) ↔️ Fossil fuel combustion
    Methane (CH4) ↔️ Agriculture
    Nitrous Oxide (N2O) ↔️ Fertilizers
  • What is the long-term effect of global warming on Earth's temperature?
    Increase in average temperature
  • Deforestation reduces the ability of ecosystems to absorb CO2.

    True
  • Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.
    True
  • The most significant greenhouse gas responsible for global warming is carbon dioxide
  • Methane is primarily emitted from agriculture, natural gas leaks, and landfills
  • What are the key effects of global warming on ecosystems?
    Sea level rise, habitat loss
  • Deforestation is a major cause of increased greenhouse gas emissions.
    True
  • Carbon dioxide is the most significant contributor to global warming due to its high concentration and long lifespan
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most significant contributor to global warming due to its high concentration and long lifespan
  • Nitrous oxide (N2O) is primarily produced by agriculture and industrial processes.

    True
  • Match the greenhouse gas with its major sources:
    Carbon Dioxide (CO2) ↔️ Burning fossil fuels, deforestation
    Methane (CH4) ↔️ Agriculture, natural gas leaks
    Nitrous Oxide (N2O) ↔️ Fertilizers, industrial processes
  • Steps of the greenhouse effect mechanism
    1️⃣ Sunlight reaches the Earth's surface
    2️⃣ Earth's surface emits infrared radiation
    3️⃣ Greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation
    4️⃣ Greenhouse gases re-emit infrared radiation
    5️⃣ Heat is trapped, warming the Earth
  • The greenhouse effect is the primary driver of global warming.

    True
  • Match the greenhouse gas with its major source:
    Carbon Dioxide (CO2) ↔️ Burning fossil fuels, deforestation
    Methane (CH4) ↔️ Agriculture, natural gas leaks
    Nitrous Oxide (N2O) ↔️ Fertilizers, industrial processes
  • What is the primary effect of sea level rise on coastal ecosystems?
    Flood coastal areas
  • Extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods, can damage ecosystems and disrupt food chains.
  • Sea level rise caused by global warming destroys coastal habitats.
    True
  • What are the effects of extreme weather events on ecosystems caused by global warming?
    Damage ecosystems and disrupt food chains
  • What is the most significant contributor to global warming?
    Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
  • What is global warming defined as?
    Increase in Earth's temperature
  • The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps Earth warm.

    True
  • Match the human activity with its contribution to global warming:
    Burning fossil fuels ↔️ Releases carbon dioxide (CO2)
    Deforestation ↔️ Reduces carbon sinks
    Industrial processes ↔️ Emits nitrous oxide (N2O)
    Agriculture ↔️ Releases methane (CH4)
  • What role do international agreements play in addressing global warming?
    Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
  • Match the greenhouse gas with its primary source:
    Carbon Dioxide (CO2) ↔️ Burning fossil fuels
    Methane (CH4) ↔️ Agriculture
    Nitrous Oxide (N2O) ↔️ Fertilizers
  • What are some key effects of global warming on ecosystems?
    Sea level rise, habitat loss
  • Match the greenhouse gas with its impact on global warming:
    Carbon Dioxide (CO2) ↔️ Most significant contributor
    Methane (CH4) ↔️ More potent than CO2
    Nitrous Oxide (N2O) ↔️ Strong greenhouse gas
  • Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is crucial to mitigate the effects of global warming
