Greenhouse Effect

Annabella Baumann

What is Greenhouse Effect ?• Process of keeping temperature balanced for

development of life.• Earth = Greenhouse • Atmosphere’s job - keep temperature even • GHG’s – trap heat

Greenhouse Gases• CFC’S – Cholorofluorocarbon• Ozone• Water Vapor • Nitrous Oxide • Carbon Dioxide • Methane

GHG’S Trap heat that earth had released previously, and send it back to the earth.

Carbon Dioxide & Methane

• Permafrost , Siberia• Bigger than whole USA !• Methane = 23 times CO2

How is it affecting our planet ?• Warming up oceans – More water

vapour – more greenhouse effect • Destruction of Ozone layer• Planet drying out!• Species dying !

Factors and GHG’s

• Factories & Industries• Cars , Trains , Planes• Burning Fossil Fuels• Deforestation• Uncontrolled Farming• Air pollution

Rising and Rising …

Industry : THE most harmful !

Proof of Global Warming

What is it ?

Effects such as :• change in temperature• changes in amount of precipitation• effects due to our careless behavior

Rise in Sea Level

• glaciers melt• not the same temperature• disappearing islands• more floods

Deforestation• Cutting down of trees• Rainforests• Turn into savannahs

The 3 Predictions

• Sea Level Rising• Storms• Sea acidity

Sea Level Rising

• Ice sheets melt • Climate Change• Islands sink • Will keep melting !

Storms

• Climate Change will get worse !• Storms , Tornadoes , natural disasters • become stonger & more prevalent

Sea Acidity • Atmosphere disintegration• CO2 falls into oceans• Oceans become acid • animals die
