Climate Change

Cards (35)

  • Changing dimate over time to the expected nam
  • Climate Change
  • Increased height on sea level, due to low pressure, wind (and associated storms)
  • The covering or submerging of normally dry land with a large amount of water
  • Changes in the orbit of the Earth around the San. The reast elliptical orbit means higher levels of solar radiation and therefore higher average temperatures. The cyde eecers every 100,000 years
  • Product of organic material being decomposed. Animals significantly contribute to the global budget. Greenhouse effect is 30 times that of carbon dadde
  • Product of combustion (burning Released from fossil fuels such as coal, oil, gas. The most frequently occuring gremhouse gas in our atmosphere
  • The retention of the energy in our atmosphere due to the presence of gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour
  • The increase in the proportion of greenhouse gases in our annosphere due to human actions. This eats in the average temperature of the atrasphere increasing above what it would be naturally
  • The reflectivity of materials eg ice reflects 90% of the sun's energy, water 50%
  • Humans cutting down tren which absorb carbos from the atmosphere and store it in the besphere
  • Manufacturing currently is powered by fassil fueh
  • The process of removing carbon dioxide from the combustion process so that the amount being released into the atrsssphere is reduced. The carbon is typically stored in the Ithasphere
  • Typical weather conditions for a location including the presence of seasons
  • The conditions we experience in the atmosphere-temperature, precipitation, wind
  • A ratal event that poses a risk to human life
  • Reducing the effects of soothing
  • Year 11 Term 1
  • Causes of climate change
  • Volcanic eruptions
  • Milankovitch cycles
  • Solar output
  • Burning fossil fuels
  • Enhanced greenhouse effect
  • Agriculture-release of methane
  • Effects of climate change
  • Loss of all tropical coral reefs
  • Sea level rise globally
  • Rising global temperatures
  • Increased droughts
  • Changing weather patterns
  • Displacement of people due to flooding
  • Cost of mitigation strategies
  • THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT
  • Explain what happens at each number
