Multiple Choice
Cutting down large forests (deforestation) can result in:
little to no changes
more homes for animals
less plants to absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas

Greenhouse Gases
HERE ARE THE FIVE MAJOR GREENHOUSE GASES!!!!
Carbon Dioxide- burning fossil fuels
Methane- Cattle, coal-mines
Water Vapor- formed from evaporation
CFCs- BAD BAD BAD!! Chlorofluorocarbons (No longer used, HURTS our ozone layer!)
Nitrous Oxide- Burning organic material / burning fuels in industries
25
Multiple Choice
Which of the following are greenhouse gases?
Carbon dioxide
Methane
Water vapor
All answers are correct
26
The Greenhouse Effect
Earth is similar to a greenhouse
The Earth's atmosphere acts like the glass in the atmosphere
Sunlight streams through the atmosphere and heats the Earth.
As this heat radiates up from Earth's surface, some of it escapes into space.
The rest of the heat is absorbed by gases in the troposphere and warms the air.
27
gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere caused by human activity
