4.14 Enhanced Grennhouse effect



  • Increase pollution > Greater Greenhouse effects
  • Pollutions causing GHE: CO2/SO2/Water Vapor
  • Vapor takes back UV lights and bounces it back to Earth
  • Consiquences-
    • Ice caps > Higher Sea levels > Changes current flow and wind direction
    • Less land due to more water

4.13 Greenhouse gases



  • Burning fossil fuels > CO2/SO2/NO2 > Causes green gases
  • Grennhouse gases absorb more infrared from the sun > Heats Earth 
  • Farming > Cows > CH4 > 9% of greenhouse gases
  • Water > Vapor
  • Refrigiration and propellants > CFC, Clorine,Flourine, and Carbon > Absorbs UV light/Speeds up process > Breaks Ozone layer

4.12 Greenhouse Effect







  • More CO2 and CH4 = Temperature rises even more

4.11 Gas Pollution




  • Sulpher Dioxide is added to the atmosphere from the combustion of fossil fuels and creats acid rain
  • Plants-Burns tops/reduces calcium and magnesium
  • Animals-Makes water bodies acidic/blocks fish's gills
  • CO2 + Hemoglobins can redue oxygen intake - fatal
