- The sun emits sunrays
- The Earth absorbs the energy
- Infrared rays are radiated from the Earth
- Greenhouse gases thickens the atmosphere
- 'Climate change' or 'global warming'?
Causes
Natural activities
- Animals and plants decomposing
- Volcanic activity
- Vaporised water
Human activities
- Greenhouse gas emissions
- Interventions with natural activities
Postive consequenses
In cold environments
- More habitable land
- More arable land
In high mountain landscapes
- More drinkable water
Negative consequenses
In general
- Imbalance in animal and plant population
- Land erosion
Low land environments
- Higher water level
