Slide 6 - Quiz

Climate = average weather conditions in a certain area over a longer period of time

Over the past century average temperature has risen by 0.9 degrees

Slide 7 - Slide

Causes for a rise in temperature
Natural fluctua (ice ages and warmer periods of time)

Enhanced greenhouse effect
  • clear evidence: highest CO2 levels in 800.000 years
  • due to fossil fuels and deforestation
Woodland loss and woodland gain between 1990 and 2015 

Slide 8 - Slide

Consequences: 1 Rising sea levels
Arctic ice cap and the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are melting. 

Slide 9 - Slide

Slide 10 - Slide

Consequences: 1 Rising sea levels
The sea level has already increased by 20cm

Problem for low-lying countries (especially in tropical areas)

Slide 11 - Slide

Consequences: 2 Shifting climate zones
Climate zone = a large area with more or less the same climate

Desertification = some areas are changing into deserts due to higher temperatures

Slide 12 - Slide

Consequences: 3 More frequent bouts of extreme weather
Floods (caused by heavy rainfall, storms, or long-term droughts). 

Higher temperature -> more water evaporation ->more rainfall 

warm seawater -> increase in the number of storms and hurricanes.
