Part 7 [Term]

• other term for atmospheric pollution – air pollution
• greenhouse structure is commonly used in countries with temperature – cold
• greenhouse structure is usually made of what transparent material – glass
• the greenhouse structure makes the temperature inside? – warm
• most of the heat absorbed by greenhouse gases are radiated in all directions and cause of the Earth – warming
• Greenhouse is a structure with walls and roof made chiefly of transparent material, such as glass, in which plants requiring regulated climatic conditions are grown .
• The interior of a greenhouse exposed to sunlight becomes significantly warmer than the external temperature, protecting its contents in cold weather .
• Gases the contribute to the greenhouse effect:

  • Water vapor
  • Carbon Dioxide
  • Nitrous Oxide
  • Methane
• a powerful greenhouse gas produced by soil cultivation practices, especially the use of organic fertilizers – nitrous oxide
• a hydrocarbon gas produced from manure of livestock – methane
• most important long-lived "forcing" of climate change – carbon dioxide
• the most abundant greenhouse gas that acts as a feedback to the climate – water vapor
• in water cycle, the process by which water vapor is formed – evaporation
• in water cycle, the process by which clouds are formed – condensation
• released through natural processes such as respiration – carbon dioxide
• Water vapor = H2O
• Carbon dioxide = CO2
• Nitrous oxide = N2O
• Methane = CH4
• The most abundant greenhouse gas - Water vapor
• It acts as a feedback to the climate - Water vapor
• Water vapor increases as the earth's atmosphere warms
• Water vapor increases as the earth's atmosphere warms, but so does the possibility of clouds and precipitation
• Water vapor increases as the earth's atmosphere warms, but so does the possibility of clouds and precipitation, making these some of the most important feedback mechanisms to the greenhouse effect.
• A minor but very important component of the atmosphere - Carbon dioxide
• carbon dioxide is released through natural processes such as respiration and volcano eruptions and through human activities such as deforestation, land use changes, and burning fossil fuels.
• Humans have increased atmospheric CO₂ concentration by 47% since the industrial revolution began.
• This is the most important long-lived "forcing" of climate change - Carbon dioxide
• A hydrocarbon gas produced both through natural sources and human activities - Methane
• A hydrocarbon gas produced both through natural sources and human activities
• A powerful greenhouse gas soil cultivation practices - Nitrous oxide
• Atmospheric pollution - refers to the release of pollutants into the air that are detrimental to human health and the planet as a whole
• Atmospheric pollution - the presence of toxic chemicals or compounds (including those of biological origin) in the air, at levels that pose a health risk
• Atmospheric pollution - the presence of chemicals or compounds in the air which are usually not present and which lower the quality of the air or cause detrimental changes to the quality of life (such as the damaging of the ozone layer or causing global warming)
• Scientists attribute the global warming trend observed since the mid-20th century to the human expansion of the "greenhouse effect"
• greenhouse effect — warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space.
• Long-lived gases that remain semi-permanently in the atmosphere and do not respond physically or chemically to changes in temperature are described as "forcing" climate change.
• Gases, such as water vapor, which respond physically or chemically to changes in temperature are seen as "feedbacks."
• Climate change - Refers to the long-term alteration of temperature and typical weather patterns in a place.
• Climate change could refer to a particular location or the planet as a whole.
