Flashcards
Deforestation's Impact
Deforestation's Impact
Cutting down trees disrupts the natural balance, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.
Vehicle Emissions
Vehicle Emissions
Cars and other vehicles produce greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide, leading to increased global temperatures.
CFCs and the ozone
CFCs and the ozone
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) from cooling devices harm the ozone layer, a layer that protects us from harmful radiation; This indirectly affects global warming.

Study Notes
Causes of Global Warming
- Deforestation: Forests absorb carbon dioxide, a key greenhouse gas. Reduced forests disrupt this process, contributing to global warming.
- Vehicle Use: Vehicles burning fossil fuels release carbon dioxide and other harmful gases into the atmosphere, increasing global temperatures.
- Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs): Excessive use of air conditioners and refrigerators leads to CFC emissions, impacting the ozone layer.
- Industrial Development: Industrial emissions significantly contribute to Earth's rising temperature.
