    The document is a set of questions and answers about climate change topics such as the greenhouse effect, greenhouse gases, and the impacts of human activities. It explains that the sun's energy is transmitted to Earth as short-wave radiation and is absorbed, causing weather effects like winds and storms. Naturally occurring greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor have a positive effect by trapping some heat in the atmosphere and maintaining a temperature suitable for life.

    transmitted from the Sun to the Earth?
    Q2. What are some greenhouse gases?
    Q3. How do naturally occurring greenhouse gases
    have a positive effect on the Earth and our
    environments?
    Q4. What would the Earth’s surface temperature be
    without the greenhouse effect?
    Q5. What are some weather effects that are caused
    by the Earth absorbing energy from the Sun?
    Q1. What is the main form of energy that is
    transmitted from the Sun to the Earth?
    Q1. • AS SHORT-WAVE RADIATION (I.E., LIGHT
    AND ULTRA-VIOLET RADIATION).
    Q2. What are some greenhouse gases?
    Q2. • CARBON DIOXIDE. • OZONE. • NITROUS

    Q3. How do naturally occurring greenhouse
    gases have a positive effect on the Earth
    and our environments?
    Q3. • THEY HOLD JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF HEAT IN THE ATMOSPHERE, ALLOWING
    EXCESS HEAT TO RADIATE BACK INTO SPACE. • THEY HELP KEEP A HEALTHY
    BALANCE OF HEAT ABSORBED AND EMITTED BY THE ATMOSPHERE. • THEY KEEP THE
    TEMPERATURE OF THE ATMOSPHERE IN A RANGE THAT ALLOWS LIFE TO EXIST.
    Q4. WHAT WOULD THE EARTH’S SURFACE TEMPERATURE
    BE WITHOUT THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT?
    Q4. • ABOUT 130 C
    Q5. WHAT ARE SOME WEATHER EFFECTS THAT ARE CAUSED
    BY THE EARTH ABSORBING ENERGY FROM THE SUN?
    Q2. • WINDS, BREEZES, STORMS • TREMENDOUS
    STORMS (INCLUDING TYPHOONS, HURRICANES, AND
    CYCLONES)
    GROUP ACTIVITY:

    MAKE A FLOW CHART TO SHOW HOW THE SUN’S ENERGY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
    THE NATURAL WARMING OF THE EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE.

    and 2004?
    •Q1. • 80%.
    • Q2. What things cause more
    greenhouse gases to be released
    into the atmosphere?
    • Q2. • Burning fossil fuels such as oil coal, and
    natural gas. • Fossil fuel-based transport. • Electric
    power production. • Human livestock farming. •
    Rubbish landfill. • Fossil fuel production such as
    coal mining and natural gas processing. •
    Agricultural activities. • Burning of fossil fuels.

    emissions has been increasing with an
    increase of 70% of emissions recorded in the
    34 years to 2004
    FOSSIL FUEL

    Fuels that were formed millions of years ago in


    ancient sediments from the remains of dead
    plants and animals
    WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT PEOPLE
    COULD DO TO REDUCE GLOBAL WARMING?

    Use less plastic.


    • Use less carbon-based fuels like petrol,
    diesel, kerosene.
    • Only leave electric light on when needed.
    . DRAWHUMAN ACTIVITIES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO
