What is climate change?

Back

Climate change refers to significant changes in global temperature and weather patterns.

Front

What are examples of extreme weather events?

Back

Extreme weather events include hurricanes and droughts.

Front

How do human activities contribute to climate change?

Back

Human activities contribute to climate change by releasing greenhouse gases from fossil fuels.

Front

What action can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

Back

Emphasizing wind and solar power can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Front

What are renewable energy sources?

Back

Renewable energy sources are energy sources that can be replenished naturally, such as solar power and wind energy.

Front

What is the greenhouse effect?

Back

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

Front

What are greenhouse gases?

Back

Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.

Front

What is the role of fossil fuels in climate change?

Back

Fossil fuels release significant amounts of greenhouse gases when burned, contributing to climate change.

Front

What is deforestation and how does it relate to climate change?

Back

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

Front

What is the impact of climate change on sea levels?

Back

Climate change causes sea levels to rise due to melting ice caps and glaciers, as well as thermal expansion of seawater.
