Greenhouse effect
Greenhouse effect is when heat is traped by gases in the atmosphere close to the suface of the earth.These greenhouse gases, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen (N2O), Methane (CH4), and water vapor (H2O) trap heat, that leads to an inceass in tempeture on earth, and allow life on earth to survive at a tempeture above freezing.
Climate changes
Having geenhouse gases are a good thing but having to much green house gases are a bad thing, these greenhouse gases are coming form buring fossil fuels for electricity.
Here are some things that can happen because of to much greenhouse gases.
Here are some things that can happen because of to much greenhouse gases.
- High sea levels - higher tempature will increass the level of the oceans because ice will be melting and if this happens then costal communities will be under water.
- Rain fall- higher tempature will effect the rain fall in diferent way, places that get rain fall regulary will get less and places were they dont get a lot of rain will get more rain then they are used to
- Storms- most of all the major stoms like hurricanes are caused by heat
- Habit- Animals in the Artic that live on ice will have no where to live becuse it will all be melted.
Solution:
Solar and wind power are thing that can be done to eliminate electricity bill, but putting in solar panels are expensive to do but paying electricity bill over time add up. A typical home installation ranges from 3 to 7 kilowatts and costs between $18,000 to $40,000 to purchase.
passive solar
passive solar building design , windows, walls, and floors are made to collect, store, and distribute solar energy in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer, but they do have electricity if you need it but you dont have to use it as much.
