1. DEFINITION: Global Warming

global warming

Global warming happens when the Earth’s average temperature rises up in the atmosphere due to climate change. It causes greenhouse gases which include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.

 

Global warming can lead to changes in climate events, for example; tropical cyclones, heat waves and harsh precipitation weather. There are three ways in which global warming will make changes to regional climate: changing the hydrological cycle, air flow in the atmosphere and currents in the oceans.

 

Pollution is one of the biggest man-made problems that cause global warming. The burning of fossil fuels, for example, coal and oil, causes pollution and greenhouse gases.
