global warming Flashcards
NAME 4 human activity that increase global warming
burning fossil fuels
deforestation
dumping waste into to landfields
agriculture
NAME 5 natural factors increasing global climate
orbital changes Milankovitch volcanic activity solar output surface impacts
solar output?
radiation from the sun-increases earths temp
volcanic activity?
co2 and dust released into the atmosphere during an eruption
blanketing the earth
temperatures fall
surface impacts?
large cosmic material can impact the earths surface
dust produced can block solar radiation
orbital changes
(changes how much sunlight we recieve
changes in how the earth moves arond the sun
(natural warming, cooling effect)
the Earth has natural warming and cooling periods caused by Milankovitch cycles
changes the earths orbit to circular to ellipse pattern
ellipse=colder winters hotter temps
