    Climate Changes and Earth's Climate: By: Thien Kim and Minh Vy Class 8H5

    Uploaded by

    Thien Kim Do
    This document discusses climate change and its causes. It defines greenhouse gases as gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels. When greenhouse gas levels rise, it can lead to climate change over the long term by changing temperatures, winds, and rainfall patterns on Earth. The impacts of climate change include warming oceans, rising sea levels, melting ice caps, and more extreme weather. Climate change also affects weather and geography by intensifying storms and altering rainfall patterns in some areas. The document also briefly discusses ice ages, asteroids, meteors, and meteorites and their potential impacts.

    Climate

    changes and
    Earth's
    climate
    By: Thien Kim and Minh Vy
    Class 8H5
    Greenhouse gases

    • Definition: Gases in the air on earth that


    trap heat. When fossil fuels are burned they
    release plenty amounts of Carbon
    dioxide (greenhouse gases)into the
    atmosphere.
    • Causes of greenhouse gases: When the
    Carbon dioxide in the air is out of control,
    it will affect the earth’s climate leading to
    the greenhouse gases
    Climate change 

    • Definition: A change in climate is long term


    temperature, wind and rainfall on the earth
    due to humans burning fossil fuels, oil, gas,...
    • Impact of climate change on earth: The
    Earth’s climate has changed a lot compared to
    the past. Our oceans are warming becoming
    more acidic, sea levels are rising, ice caps are
    melting and more extreme weather events.
    Climate change

    • How climate change impact on the Earth’s


    weather and geography: The earth’s
    atmosphere heats up making big changes
    of the weather, therefore natural disasters
    increased: Tornados, huge storms,
    hurricanes, wild fires etc. Due to climate
    change, wet areas are wetter and dry areas
    are drier causing places where crops
    grow could become desserts. 
    Ice age/ Glacial period and
    Interglacial period
    • Ice age is a period in the earth's history
    began approximately 70,000 years ago,
    it was the time when most of the Earth
    surface was buried under thick sheet of
    ice 
    • A warm period between glacial age is
    called an interglacial period
    Asteroid, Meteors and
    Meteorites
    • Asteroid are some small rock that
    orbit the Sun. Although they are
    orbit the Sun like other planet,
    but they are much smaller than
    planet.
    • A meteor is also a small rock or
    metal. When it enter the earth's
    atmosphere, it's going to burn
    very brightly or even explode
    • Meteorites are called "space
    rocks", which are found on earth
    after they fall from the sky.
    What would happen if an
    asteroid collided with Earth?
    • If an asteroid hits the Earth, it will create
    large amounts of dust and smoke floating
    around the atmosphere preventing sunlight
    reaching our earth causing big temperature
    drops. This leads to deaths of many living
    things.
    • If an asteroid the size of a normal house
    hits Earth, this could destroy a small city.
