GREENHOUSE EFFECT
1. Sunlight enters atmosphere Maintain Earth temperature
2. Light (infrared rays) is reflacted back into space preserve life forms
filter and reflect back
3. Heat energy release will be absorbed by greenhouse gases in unwanted solar energy

Loss of flora and fauna (temperature changes)
5. Human activities=> increase of greenhouse gases => increase of Loss of food sources and habitats
heat energy Climate change:
trapped -El Nino
-La Nina

DEFORESTATION
-change in wind directions
Change in :
- temperature of the Earth
- rainfall distribution - is an action of cleaning a wide area
- wind of trees in a large scale

loss of biodiversity
soil erosion , landslide
PURPOSE flash flood
-loss of habitat and extinction
of flora and fauna
Timber: new areas climate change
Disruption:
-construction work - due to increase of CO2 that
