Let’s Check

Activity 11. Now, that you know again the most essential terms and concepts on

climate change, the global warming and the greenhouse gases. Let’s try to check

your understanding of these terms and concepts. In the space provided, write you

answers to each of the following questions.

Global temperature and Carbon Dioxide 1. The graph that shows the

concentration of carbon dioxide relative to temperature.

Pollution 2. It would be the possible primary result of too much

industrialization.

Greenhouse gasses 3. Gases that trap heat from the sun into the atmosphere

to provide habitable temperature of the planet.

Earth’s axial tilt 4. Aside from the natural movement of the planet that

causes possible climate change, the ______________

also emphasized concepts on the distance and

rotation of the planet from the sun, it affects and

changed climate.

Aphelion 5. It would be the farthest distance of the planet from the

sun.

Asteroid belt 6. The formation of the orbit of the planet that is affected

from the gravity of Mars and Jupiter.

Precession 7. It when the orientation of the axis of the planet changes

from vega star to Polaris Polaris star.

The keeling curve 8. The graph of __________ simply explains or shows

the concentration of carbon dioxide that is closer to the

family.

Nitrogen 9 . it is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere

John Tyndall 10. He’s concern is about what would Earth would

become if the industrialization is wide spread.

Let’s Analyze

Activity 11. You are now acquainted with most essential terms, definitions and

concepts on climate change and global warming. You are also required to write

briefly your answers on the following questions below. Again write it on the space

provided.

1. How does climate change affect biodiversity?

-The impact of climate change on biodiversity is significant. It can lead to the

extinction of local species, the spread of diseases, and the alteration of marine,

terrestrial, and freshwater ecosystems all over the world. Climate change also

increases the severity and frequency of wildfires, storms, and droughts, which can

have a significant impact on biodiversity. Climate patterns are shifting or changing

abnormally as the planet warms rapidly as a result of human activity, affecting

biodiversity. Furthermore, climate change affects biodiversity in the Arctic and

causes ocean change. It also contributes to increased ocean acidification and

stratification, which has a negative impact on biodiversity.

2. What are some other pieces of evidences for global warming aside from the rise

concentration of carbon dioxide?

-Aside from the rise in carbon dioxide concentrations, there are several other pieces

of evidence for global warming. Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain glacier

ice cores show that the Earth's climate responds to changes in greenhouse gas

levels. Tree rings, ocean sediments, coral reefs, and sedimentary rock layers all

contain ancient evidence. Methane and nitrous oxide concentrations in the

atmosphere have also risen significantly since the start of the Industrial Revolution.

Climate warming trends over the last century are almost certainly the result of human

activities such as the use of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. Several lines of

evidence point to changes in our weather, oceans, ecosystems, and other areas.

In a Nutshell

Activity 11. Based again from the important terms and concepts you’ve learned and

the exercises you’ve done are not enough. At this part, you are required to write your

arguments and lessons learned on the space provided below.

1. Human actions, both past and present, have a significant contribution to global

warming.

2. We can protect the environment by lowering our carbon footprint, conserving

natural resources, promoting sustainable practices, and contributing to conservation

efforts.

3. It is essential that we preserve our planet because it is our only home, and the

health and well-being of all living beings are dependent on a healthy and sustainable

environment.
