Climate Change

Question 1

What are interglacial and glacials

Answer 1

An interglacial period (or alternatively interglacial, interglaciation) is a geological interval of warmer global average temperature lasting thousands of years that separates consecutive glacial periods within an ice age. The current Holocene interglacial began at the end of the Pleistocene, about 11,700 years ago.

Question 2

What is the carbon cycle

Answer 2

The carbon cycle is the cycle of how carbon rotates through the our world and how human interfered with it to be a cause of climate change.

Question 3

Natural Stages of the Carbon Cycle

Answer 3

Carbon is asorbed in the animals and plants. When the plants and animals are eaten the carbon is passed to the other animal of if the animal dies the carbon goes to the sea and air. Carbon in the sea and earth build up to create fossil fules

Question 4

How human interfered with the carbon cycle

Answer 4

We made factories that pumped up the fossil fuels and release Unnecessary carbon into the atmosphere where builds up Faster than the trees and animals can absorb it. We are also cutting down trees called deforestation which reduces the amount of carbon thatIs naturally Absorbed (also trees make carbon into oxygen which we as humans need).

Question 5

How does the green house effect effect the carbon cycle

Answer 5

The greenhouse effect effect the climate change because gasses such as CO2 blocks some heat from escaping the atmosphere and going into space and instead reflects back down to Earth.

Question 6

Stages of what happens to heat that comes down to earth because of climate change

Answer 6

The Sun is always pass through the atmosphere to earth.The earths surface is warmed.He has reflected on the Earth back to the atmosphere. Some heat escapes into space with some heat is trapped by CO2 another greenhouse gases burning fossil fuels and cutting forests increase CO2 levels so the atmosphere gets warmer

Question 7

Weather and climate

Answer 7

Weater is day to day where climate is average of longer periods

Question 8

How does temperature change co2 emissions

Answer 8

The higher the temperature the higher the carbon dioxide emissions

Question 9

Population

Answer 9

As the amount of births increases so does the co2 emmisions

Question 10

Glaciers are increasingly retreating

Answer 10

This is evidence that the Earth is warming up

Question 11

Vanishing islands

Answer 11

The sea levels are rising as ice is melting

Question 12

Extreme weather

Answer 12

Droughts,fires and flooding are all happening because of climate change.

Energy supply 26% transport 30% industry and 19% agriculture 14% forestry 17% buildings 8% waste and waste water 3%

Question 19

How ill climate change affect uk

Answer 19

In 2015 the south of the UK will increase in a 2.5°C change of temperature is estimated correctly in summer it is estimated at 2050 most of the UK would of decreased precipitation by -30% and in winter 15% increase.

Question 20

Other consequences of climate change

Answer 20

Lack of habitation and increase of insects as well as heat attracted ones. Increase of droughts and erosion by heavy rain

Question 21

Carbon footprint

Answer 21

The amount of carbon dioxide given off by a city for its transport housing energy and industry

Question 22

BedZed

Answer 22

BedZed is a eco community in the Uk that make eco friendly homes. They use 81% less energy 45% less electricity and 58% less water by thick walls to trap heat and low lighting as well as solar panels and grass on roof for instillation and fitted with sedum to collect rainfall water for grey water harvesting.
There is also green transport like bus stops and safe bike storage with houses facing south to face the sun.

Question 23

Hydroelectric energy

Answer 23

Hydroelectric energy is energy derived from the movement of water. Water has mass. It falls and flows downward due to gravity. When it moves, it has kinetic energy which can be harnessed.

Question 24

Rotational slip

Answer 24

Ice moves in a circular motion from it’s own weight in a hollow
