Aim: To look at how fossil fuels are contributing to climate change and how we can prevent this.
Definition of Fossil Fuels:
a natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.
Questions I Have To Answer
What is our greatest threat in thousands of years?
Answer:Climate Change and us having no world left
How do we see climate change affecting the globe?
Floods
Storms
Higher Sea Levels
Air Pollution
What is needed to change history?
The Answer Is To Stop Polluting the air and water with stuff that can pollute our world
Is climate change a man made disaster?
Yes Climate Change is a man made disaster. Because we are making it happen.
Dramatic action must be made in the next _10_ years to change it?
Why is our climate changing?
Because of us Polluting the air and the sea
What is causing the warming trend of the climate?
Us Making Things that use power
What is the main problem?
The World Heating Up Each Year
What are examples of these?
1.Pulltion
2.Heat Waves
3. Flooding
4. Hurricanes
5. Tornados
6. Sea Levels rising
Burning fossil fuels releases what gas?
carbon dioxide
How much hotter now is our world?
1 degrees Celsius
What do we call this global warming?
Climate Change
How is this affecting creatures / animals like bats?
It Is Overheating So The Creatures Are Dying
What percentage of species are near extinction?
8%
How could this affect the world ecosystems?
Overview. Climate is an important environmental influence on ecosystems.
Changing climate affects ecosystems in a variety of ways.
For instance, warming may force species to migrate to higher latitudes
or higher elevations where temperatures are more conducive to their survival
What global change was seen and recording breaking last year?
Last year was so hot that global land- and ocean-surface temperatures were 1.42 degrees
Fahrenheit (0.79 degrees Celsius) above the 20th-century average, NOAA reported. Since 1880,
when record-keeping began,
only three years — 2016 (the highest, in part because of El Niño), 2015 and 2017 — were hotter
How is climate change affecting our weather systems?
1. The Water Levels Rising
2. More Storms
3. Heaver Rain Falling
What is another effect of climate change?
global climate change is now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer,
more intense heat waves.
What will happen if the ice melts in Antarctica and the Arctic?
Hotter weather is also melting ice on land, increasing the volume of water in the ocean.
Scientists are now paying particularly close attention to warming inAntarctica, home to 90 percent of our
planet's ice. If it were all to melt, it would raise sea levels by 190 feet.
How does this affect people?
Our changing climate will affect our economy, environment and way of life.
This page has the climate changes we can expect in New Zealand and the likely impacts.
It links to information that local government can use to prepare for climate change and actions you can take.
What other things affect oceans change?
What does too much heat do to the coral?
Rising Ocean Temperatures Can Kill Corals. Humans are pumping more and
more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. That's trapping excess heat and causing the
surface of the planet to warm. However, surface warming accounts for only about 7 percent
of the excess heat our planet is taking on
Why did some industries not want to stop burning fossil fuels?
Rising Ocean Temperatures Can Kill Corals. Humans are pumping more and more
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. That's trapping excess heat and causing the surface
of the planet to warm. However, surface warming accounts for only about 7 percent of the excess heat our
planet is taking on
Scientific Terms for Students
- coal: a dark-brown to black solid substance formed naturally from the compaction and hardening of fossilized plants and used as a fuel primarily for electricity generation
- natural gas: a mixture of hydrocarbon gases that occurs naturally beneath the earth’s surface and is used as a fuel primarily for cooking and heating homes
- renewable resource: a resource that is never used up (e.g., solar energy)
- non-renewable resource: a resource that is not replaceable after its use (e.g., coal, gas)
Examples of Fossil Fuels:
- Gas
- Oil
- Coal
My Cookie Work
My Cookie Had Lost Of Chocolate Chips It Looked A Little Bit Like this
Then We Had To Choose A Setting And I Choose The Sea
Like This
We Then had answer some questions here are the questions i had and my answers
1. What type of ecosystem is it?
Answer: It Is We Because It Is Under Water
2. What Plants and animals live there?
Answers:
1. Fish
2. Seals
3.Turtles
_______
3. How Do Humans Use This Space
Answer: To Swim
Then We Picked Out all the chocolate chips and my cookie broke and looked like this
And Then We Had To Draw The Ecosystem How It Would Be If All The Animals Died So I Think It Would Look Like This
And then i had to answer another three questions Here They Are With My Answers
1.How Has The Ecosystem Changed?
Answer: All The animals died
2. What Lives There Now?
Answer: Nothing Because All The Animals Died
3. What are some ways we can avoid situations like this in the future?
Answer: Not Using As Much Rubbish And Plastic
Conclusion: What I Learnt From This Lesson Is That Climate Change Will Happen Soon If We Keep Up what we are doing and it is dangerous because we might not have a planet to live on if we keep it up. so
SAVE THE PLANET STOP USING PLASTIC🙋
