1. Define Climate Change

Global climate change is the existential threat of our time. Caused by human activities,
the impacts of climate change—rising sea levels, extreme weather and natural disasters,
new cycles of flooding and drought, and economic instability, among others—
disproportionately affect the most vulnerable people, those least responsible for it, and
those least able to adapt to its effects. Addressing global warming and tackling climate
change require national and international action and policy changes. But individuals,
households, and communities have a vital role to play too. Individuals in the major
emitting nations can shift their day-to-day behavior and reduce their carbon footprint.
Fishers, farmers, and other resource users in developing countries can also adopt climate-
friendlier practices and reduce their impact on nature-based solutions to climate change,
Climate change needs behavior change. And change is what Rare does best.

2. Define Greenhouse Effect

The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth's
atmosphere trap the Sun's heat. This process makes Earth much warmer than it
would be without an atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is one of the things that
makes Earth a comfortable place to live. As you might expect from the name, the
greenhouse effect works … like a greenhouse! A greenhouse is a building with
glass walls and a glass roof. Greenhouses are used to grow plants, such as
tomatoes and tropical flowers. A greenhouse stays warm inside, even during the
winter. In the daytime, sunlight shines into the greenhouse and warms the plants
and air inside. At nighttime, it's colder outside, but the greenhouse stays pretty
warm inside. That's because the glass walls of the greenhouse trap the Sun's
heat.

3. Give atleast 5 Greenhouse Gases.

 Water vapor
 Carbon dioxide
  Methane
 Ozone
 Nitrous oxide
 Chlorofluorocarbons

4. Give atleast 5 major causes of production greenhouse

gases.

 Carbon Dioxide
 Methane
 Nitrous Oxide
 Chlorofluorocarbon-12 (CFC-12)
 Hydrofluorocarbon-23 (HFC-23)

5. Who developed TCP/IP?

6. Noble price for Computer Science.

Turing Award, often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of Computing,” carries a $1

million prize, with financial support provided by Google, Inc. It is named for Alan
M. Turing, the British mathematician who articulated the mathematical foundation
and limits of computing.

7. Give atleast 5 types of internet connections.

 dial-up,
 DSL,
