    The document discusses the causes of global warming and whether it is due to natural or human factors. While there have been natural climate variations over hundreds of thousands of years, research shows it is 90% likely that recent global warming is caused by human activity like fossil fuel use. This is evidenced by temperature rises well above natural cycles and linked to increased atmospheric CO2 levels from the Industrial Revolution onward. The document also defines key terms related to climate change and global warming.

    Research Topic: Global Warming

    Research Title: Global Warming: Is it caused by humanity or is just a part of a natural


    cycle of the Earth?

    The problems and it’s background:


    1.The too much heat strikes on the Earth causes desertification
    2.The gradual rising of water causes sinking of small islands
    3.The melting of ice caps in North and South Pole

    Hypothesis: Global Warming is just a part of a natural cycle of the Earth but due to
    certain activities of people,well it affects.
    State the coverage and limitation of your study:

    What is causing climate change?

    Geological records stretching back millions of years indicate a number of large


    variations in Earth’s climate. These have been caused by many natural factors,
    including changes in the sun, volcanoes, Earth’s orbit and CO2 levels.However,
    research by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) shows that it is
    90% likely that human activity has caused more recent global warming.

    The Earth’s natural climate cycle

    Over the last 800,000 years, there have been natural cycles in the Earth’s climate.
    There have been ice ages and warmer interglacial periods. After the last ice age
    20,000 years ago, average global temperature rose by about 3°C to 8°C, over a
    period of about 10,000 years.

    We can link the rises in temperature over the last 200 years to rises in atmospheric
    CO2 levels. Rises in temperature are now well above the natural cycle of the last
    800,000 years.   

    Draw a sample paradigm of the concept:


    List five(5) words that you will you define:
    1 Greenhouse gases-is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the
    thermal infrared range. Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect on planets.
    The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon
    dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.
    2 Climate Change- a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a
    change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to
    the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil
    fuels.
    3 Global Warming-is the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's
    climate system. It is a major aspect of climate change and has been demonstrated
    by direct temperature measurements and by measurements of various effects of the
    warming. Global warming and climate change are often used interchangeably.
    4 Temperature-the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object,
    especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a
    thermometer or perceived by touch.
    5 Fossil fuels-is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic
    decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient
    photosynthesis.
