Answer may vary
what are the states of matter can convection occur?
liquid and gas
expain sea breeze
During the day land heats up quicker. the air above the land is lESS DENSE. This convection causes air to blow the sea towards the shore.

happens when land is cooler than sea. the ocean releses heat causing the air to be less dense and rising. this convection causes wind to blow from the shore towards the sea.
How does deforestation affect the water cycle
the trees normal take up the water from their roots and tranpire them then releasing them back into our atmosphere. since there are no trees the armosphere is alot drier
what are the five greenhouse gases discussed in class
methane, ozone, Carbon dioxide, Nitrous oxide, Water vapour
explain natural greenhouse gas
Natural greenhouse effect is natural and normal. it keeps our earth warme because without our earth would be -16 degrees lower
explain enhanced greenhouse effect
A higher than usually levels of greenhouse and it leads to over amouts of heat trapped in our atmosphere which causes it to start to warm up
How does nuclear products affect the marine life
it does because it heats up the temperature and the maine animals are very sensitive to temperature changes. which can lead to death due to the heat.
