Human Factors Causing Climate Change

Question 1

Increasing industry has lead to a lot of pollution from chimneys and factories also caused by traffic

Answer 1

• TMT pollution releases carbon dioxide and nitric acid
• TMT this adds to the heat insulating effect of the
  atmosphere which is called the Greenhouse Effect
• TMT it causes an increase in the earth’s temperature

Question 2

Worldwide deforestation

Answer 2

• TMT there are less trees to take in carbon dioxide from
  the atmosphere
• TMT the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
  contributes to the greenhouse effect

Question 3

Car exhausts, nitrogen fertilizers + power stations

Answer 3

• TMT nitrous oxide is produced and released into the
  atmosphere
• And TMT in the process it causes global temps to
  rise

Question 4

Burning of oil, petrol + coal

Answer 4

• TMT nitrous oxide + carbon dioxide is increased and
  dispersed into the environment
• TMT these industrial processes also cause the
  Greenhouse Effect

Question 5

Landfield sites, rice fields + intensive cattle farming

Answer 5

• TMT methane is produced and results in a temperature

rise in the atmosphere

Question 6

Chlorofluorocarbons found in fridges, aerosols + a by-product of the production of polystyrene packaging e.g pizza + burger boxes

Answer 6

• TMT CFC’S are another key gas adding to the terrible

impact that humans have on global warming
