• Climate Change

• Greenhouse Gas

Fossil fuels are nonrenewable  resources because they

• take millions of years to form

• are easily replaced

• are in high demand

• don't pollute the air

Without the Greenhouse Effect the Earth would be

• warm 

• cold

• dead

Why is the Ozone important to life on Earth?

• The Ozone reflects all the Ultra Violet radiation

• The Ozone absorbs all the heat that come up from the Earth.

• The Ozone provides all the oxygen to Earth.

• The Ozone protects the Earth’ s atmosphere and the life on Earth from harmful radiant energy emitted by the sun
