This energy source
produces most of
2
the CO causing
global warming.
Fossil Fuels
Fossil Fuels include
which 3 major fuel
sources?
Petroleum, Coal,
and Natural Gas
Which is supposedly
the “cleanest burning”
fossil fuel?
Natural Gas
What is the
biggest issue
associated with
Burning Fossil
Fuels?
Global Warming
What are two types
of primitive
traditional energy
sources still used?
Wood and
Peat
Name a type of
alternative energy
that is made from
an element?
Hydrogen
This is a type of
alternative energy that
comes from the inflow
and outflow of water that
turns turbines in a dam
Tidal Power
This is a type of
alternative energy that
comes from splitting
atoms
Nuclear Fission
This is a type of
alternative energy
source that comes from
crops, manure, or
municipal waste.
Biomass
This is an alternative
energy where atomic
nuclei are combined.
We are still working to
be able to sustain a
reaction of this type.
Nuclear Fusion
What is the
greenhouse effect?
The natural
trapping of heat
and water vapor in
the atmosphere to
sustain life on
Earth.
Name 3 Natural Processes
leading to Climate Change.
Volcanic Eruptions, Ocean
Circulation, and Solar
Activity
What is a Heat Island and how
can it contribute to Global
Warming and Climate Change?
A metropolitan area that's warmer than
the rural areas surrounding it due to
human activity, concrete/asphalt and
other building materials, and lack of
vegetation.
Building materials hold onto heat and
elevate temperatures.
What are three natural
Carbon Sinks?
Ocean, Wetlands,
and Forests
What will be some
negative results of climate
change?
Melting of Ice
Caps, Rising Sea
Levels, Habitats
Destroyed,
Organisms Die.
How do fossil
fuels impact
climate change?
2
CO
They add
to
the atmosphere
and cause
unnatural
warming.
How will global
warming affect
people in the
future?
Flood cities and low
lying areas, turn areas
into deserts, reduce
water and food, cause
violence and riots.
Is climate change a
natural or an unnatural
(manmade) process?
Both.
How does intense solar
activity impact climate
change?
Causes rises in
Temperature and
2
CO following
more intense solar
activity.
How does tectonic activity
change the climate of an
area?
It causes the plates to
move to different zones
on the planet (more
tropical, temperate or
polar)
What is a weather pattern
that causes a warming of
surface waters off the
coast of South America
and can affect climate
worldwide?
El Nino
How could we reduce
heating in urban
atmospheres?
Plant things on rooftops, use
“cooler roof materials” and
leave more trees and vegetation
in the city (parks, landscaping,
etc.)
What are the
three climate
zones on Earth?
Tropical,
Temperate, and
Polar.
What are some things that
affect climate?
Latitude, Topography,
Bodies of Water,
Plants, Atmospheric
Circulation.
What is the main
Greenhouse Gas that
humans do not
contribute to?
Water Vapor
Make your wager
Name 3
Greenhouse Gases.
Name 3 - Carbon
dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide,
water vapor, and
ozone
