Understand how an increase in greenhouse gases results in an enhanced greenhouse effect and that this may lead to global warming and its consequences
- Pollution of carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour (greenhouse gases)
- If their concentration increases then the Infra-red light would be increasingly re-emitted rather than escaping into space
- This will raise the average global temperature which is called global warming
- Consequences:
- Raised sea levels- melting of icecaps
- Changing ocean and wind currents
- This leads to climate change
This will lead to the worlds Biome distribution changing, polarised caps melting, etc.
