This week we started talking about the Greenhouse effect.

We learnt a lot of things about them. Iit is a natural process that occurs when the Sun rays re-in the Earth’s surface and they are trapped by some gases on theirway back out of the Earth. These gases are called greenhouse gases :

– Water vapour.

-Carbon dioxide.   

-Methane.   

-Nitrous Oxide. 

-Ozone.  

When we burn fossil fuels we produce a lot of carbon dioxide and so the total amount of greenhouse gases increases; the warming of the Earth, because of that, is called Global Warming . Some of the most important consequences of the Global Warming are:

1-The melting of the ice layer in Greenland and the Antartic.

2-The sea level will rise.

A short summary:

GREENHOUSE GASES >>>>>GREENHOUSE EFFECTS>>>>>GLOBAL WARMING

Global Warming is the rise in temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere .

We have learned this lesson thanks to oral and group activities.
