the greenhouse effect

natural phenomenon, in which the greenhouse gases captures the

energy from the sun as heat in earths atmosphere
life on earth would not be possible without the greenhouse effect
the most common greenhouse gases are; carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapour (H2O), methane (CH4), nitrogen oxides (NO x)

global warming

the composition of the atmospheric gases change over time
with the

help of drilled ice cores the changes of greenhouse gases over time can be studied (CH4 , CO 2 )
changes in the amount of certain greenhouse gases correlates with the change of temperature

data obtained from ice cores drilled in Vostok, Antarctica, shows us

that there has been a natural change on the amount of CO2 over time

expected effects global temperature rises ? melting of polar ice caps

expected effects

global temperature rises ?
melting of polar ice caps and

glaciers
rising sea levels
formation of deserts
more floods
less biodiversity (for instance coral reefs)
more extreme weather events such as storms and floods
extinction of species and disappearance of their habitats

it serves as a protection against solar radiation
