The concentration of this gasis highly correlated with the
temperature of the Earththroughout history.
What is carbon dioxide?
What is the Greenhouse Effect?
This occurs when heat is trapped
by the lack of transparency of certain
gases to infrared radiation.
This type of process occurs whenchanges lead to greater changes
(snowball effect)
What is a positive feedback mechanism.
What are the seasons?
Levels of carbon dioxide rise and
fall according to these time
periods due to the changes in
the quantity of green plants.
A type of farming that is emerging in urban areas as one possible
solution to future food shortages.
What is vertical farming?
Using these for fuel releasescarbon dioxide that has been
sequestered for millions of years.
What are fossil fuels?
Reasons include feeding denselypopulated areas, providing out
of season foods, specializing thegrowing of certain foods in the
most suitable climates.
What is food transported?
As the Earth warms this becomes more intense resulting
in storms with more energy.
What is the hydrological cycle?
Because of climate change, these phenomena are predicted to be more severe and last
longer leading to crop failures.
What are droughts? What are floods?
