Note 11

Success Criteria
At the end of this lesson, I will be able to:
• describe the impacts of transport systems on the
environment.
I can describe the impacts of transport systems on the environment

Questions

Describe the impact on the physical environment when natural

vegetations are cleared to build roads. (Slide 5)

THis will cause deforestation, as the reason of

Forest loss and destruction is because of global
warming. As it will increase temperature and
Increase pollution. It will also cause
deserti cation and soil erosion, increase in
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

State two examples of landform being modified due to development

of transport system in cities. (Slide 9)
Example is the transformation of Chek Lap
Kok island.

Questions

State 6 types of greenhouse gases. (Slide 11)

The six types are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide
Hydrofluorocarbons, per fluorocarbons and sulfur
hexafluoride.

Describe how greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere

when people use transportation like cars in cities.

Greenhouse gases are released into the

atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned to
provide energy for transportation. Excessive
concentrations of these gases trap heat in the
atmosphere, leading to an enhanced greenhouse
effect and global warming.
