Category 3: Global Warming; Global Warming Defined

Definition - an increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect.
As you can see in the graph, from the late 1800's - late 1900's the graph results aren't a severe problem,but as the later 1900's to the 2000's you can see the graph results are increasing severely.

The future if we don't take action towards global warming is the resources we have will slowly turn on us making the globe not such a beautiful place to be, the greenhouse gases are slowly ruining the enviornment and putting our earth at risk and harm.

That man kind is a big contribution to how the global warming and resources are being abused.

In the cartoon it's explaining that people dont take it seriously that the earth is slowly decaying from our own mistakes. Also how people don't take action to the case of global warming.








It explains or the moral of the cartoon is that the oil is being terribly misused, and that in real cases it should be used more wisely.

The Atmosphere

The atmosphere is divided into 6 parts ;

Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere

As you can see in the picture above , it shows the different layers of the atmosphere , starting with the troposphere and so on doing upwards. I'm going to put a few facts about the different parts of the atmosphere below.

Troposphere- contains 80% of the atmosphere's mass

Stratopshere- the stratosphere has the temperature of −3 Celsius ( C ) or 29.6 Fahrenheit ( F )
Mesosphere- Mesosphere is the middle layer of the atmosphere, in the higher Mesosphere the temperature is −100 Celsius ( C ) in the higher mesophere
Thermosphere- It's usually about 200 C hotter in the daytime than at night, and roughly 500 C
hotter when the Sun is very active.
Exosphere- The exosphere is the easier layer, no problems to go through, and highly easy to get
 through the layer without getting in any collisions

Ozone Layer- The ozone layer is the protective layer over the earth that takes most of the suns UV rays, the

 ozone layer obsorbs 97-98% of the rays, but the ozone layer is slowly getting destroyed ;

The reasons that the ozone layer is being harmed is because of the fuems being put into the atmosphere

such as CFC's. CFC is chlorofluorocarbons. It contains carbon, chlorine, and flourine. The way it harms

the ozone layer is that it's putting a hole in the ozone, making the wave weaker then it should be. In the diagram above it shows " Strong Long Wave " and " Weak Long Wave ". As you can see , the CFC is harming the atmosphere

Weather and Climate

Weather -the state of the atmosphere with respect to wind, temperature, cloudiness, moisture, pressure,
Climate- the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, and winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years.

There's many of people who care about weather such as ;
Farmers- They need rain, sun, etc. for their crops to grow.
Professional Snow boarders- they need the snow to shred down the hills!
