- 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

4.14 Enhanced Grennhouse effect
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
4.11 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
