Global Warming

Question 1

Definition

Answer 1

A process of increasing the temperature of the atmosphere, sea, and land of the earth

Question 2

Causes

Answer 2

• Green House Effect is a term used to describe the earth having a greenhouse effect above where the sun’s heat is trapped by the earth’s atmosphere
• However, due to the greenhouse effect, some of the heat that should be reflected off the earth’s surface is trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

Question 3

Greenhouse gases

Answer 3

• carbon dioxide (CO2)
• nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
• methane (CH4)
• freon (SF6, HFC, PFC)

Question 4

Human activities that increase greenhouse gases’ concentrations

Answer 4

• consumption of fossil fuels
• garbage
• fossil destruction
• agriculture and animal

Question 5

Global temperature rise

Answer 5

An increase in the melting of ice raises sea levels, resulting in a decrease in land area.
Rising sea levels also have an impact on increasing bleaching and the extinction of various types of fish.

Question 6

Weather

Answer 6

An atmospheric condition that occurs locally over a short period of time

Question 7

Climate

Answer 7

Conditions of temperature, humidity, or the average rainfall pattern in each season in a year or even decades

Question 8

Climate Change

Climate change

Definition

Answer 8

Phenomenon of changes in climate patterns that affect changes in weather patterns from an area to the world in the long term

Question 9

Climate change

Impacts

Answer 9

• rising temperatures on earth
• changes in growing seasons
• changes in rainfall and dry seasons
• more droughts and heat waves
• melting polar ice
• rising sea levels
• damage to coral reefs

Question 10

Climate change

Effects

Answer 10

The effects of climate change are very large on the socio-economic life of humans and other inhabitants of the earth

Question 11

Sea level rise

Answer 11

The rise in sea level occurs because the polar ice caps are melting

Question 12

Agriculture

Definition

Answer 12

Climate change causes shifts in seasons and changes in rainfall patterns

Question 13

Agriculture

Impacts

Answer 13

• delays in planting
• failure to plant due to floods, landslides, or droughts
  as a result, agricultural production decreases

Question 14

Fishery

Answer 14

An increase in sea water temperature causes bleaching of coral reels. Seawater temperature also cause fishes to migrate massively to cooler areas. This phenomenon is detrimental to fishermen because their catch decreases

Question 15

Global forestry

Effects

Answer 15

• grass and twigs dry out easily and burn easily increase in CO and CO2

Question 16

Health

Answer 16

The impact of global warming on the health sector is the increasing frequency of tropical diseases, such as mosquito-borne diseases, outbreaks of diarrhea, rat urine and skin diseases.

Question 17

Ways to prevent global warming

Answer 17

• don’t cut down trees indiscriminately
• do reforestration
• plant trees in the yard of the house
• use energy-saving lamps and turn off lights during the day
• reduce the use of private vehicles

Question 18

Takakura method

Answer 18

• put the cardboard in the basket to keep it moisture
• put in rice husks which function to absorb water that is produces by waste. The husks were made to resemble pillows by sewing them onto netting
• pour in the decomposing bacteria
• place organic waste that has been chopped into the basket
• on top of all the layers, place another rice husks pillow
• cover it with a piece of cloth to avoid flies
• stir the mixture everyday so that the decomposing bacteria can decompose the waste evenly
