What is Climate Change?

Back

Climate Change refers to significant changes in global temperatures and weather patterns over time, primarily caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels.

What is the Carbon Cycle?

Back

The Carbon Cycle is the process by which carbon is exchanged among the atmosphere, land, water, and living organisms, playing a crucial role in regulating Earth's climate.

What are Greenhouse Gases?

Back

Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and water vapor (H2O).

Front

What is the Greenhouse Effect?

Back

The Greenhouse Effect is the warming of Earth's surface due to the trapping of heat by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Front

How do humans interfere with the Carbon Cycle?

Back

Humans interfere with the Carbon Cycle primarily by burning fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Front

What is Deforestation?

Back

Deforestation is the clearing of forests, which reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide, contributing to climate change.

Front

What is Global Warming?

Back

Global Warming is the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases.

Front

How do plants help combat climate change?

Back

Plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Front

What is the impact of cattle farming on climate change?

Back

Cattle farming contributes to climate change by producing methane, a potent greenhouse gas, through digestion and manure.

Front

What are some effects of Climate Change?

Back

Effects of Climate Change include rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, and changes in wildlife populations and habitats.
