Lesson 4 - Greenhouse Madness Flashcards
How is deforestation linked to greenhouse gas?
Deforestation is linked to greenhouse gas the trees absorb the carbon dioxide and cutting down the trees suggest that it prevents future carbon from being locked away.
Name the components of the Climate Change Process.
Natural influences, Human Activities, Direct and Indirect changes in climate change drivers, radiative forcing, non-initial-radiative effects, mitigation process, climate perturbation and biogeochemical feedback process.
Name the world’s top geographer and what his believes are upon the cause of climate change.
The world’s top geographer is Andrew Goudie and he believes that Climate Change will have a big issue because of it’s effect on the environment.
What is the percentage of the population of carbon footprints from China?
The percentage of population of carbon footprint in China is 28.6%, hence meaning 1.3 billion of the population.
“Mankind is not the guilty one in global warming”. What other product is to blame for global warming?
According to George Miller, vegetation is also to blame for global warming.
From the sun, what type of radiation is penetrated into Earth?
UltraViolet is penetrated into the Earth via the sun.
What is the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is trapping the sun’s warmth into the lower part of the atmosphere.
Name one natural influence which has contributed to climate change?
One natural influence which has contributed to climate change is volcanic eruptions.
During the ice age cycle, how many years ago was the highest peak and what was the carbon dioxide concentration (ppmv)?
During the ice age cycle, around 320 years ago was the highest peak at 300ppmv.
How could we reduce greenhouse gas in relation to transport?
Travelling in vehicles uses petrol or diesel which contributes to the realise of carbon dioxide. Instead we could walk shorter distances.
How does China contribute to global warming?
China produces pollution because of many of their factories.
By how much has the carbon dioxide concentrations risen over the 20,000 years?
Carbon dioxide has risen by 100ppm over the 20,000 years, initially starting with 180ppm and is currently at 280ppm.
