4.15: Understand How an Increase in Greenhouse Gases Results in an Enhanced Greenhouse Effect and that this may Lead to Global Warming and its Consequences

GREENHOUSE GASES: Gases responsible for global warming - Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, and CFC's (Chlorofluorocarbons)

ENHANCED GREENHOUSE EFFECT: Suggested link between the increase in greenhouse gas emissions by man and changes in global temperatures and climate conditions

ENHANCED GREENHOUSE EFFECT



Diagram showing the occurrence of the enhanced greenhouse effect

EXPLANATION:

  1. Sun emits short wave radiation (ultraviolet radiation) which is absorbed and re-emitted at a longer wavelength (infrared/heat) by the Earth's surface
  2. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and re-radiates the longer wave radiation
  3. As a result, this heat is retained within the atmosphere to increase global temperatures - the enhanced greenhouse effect

IMPORTANCE OF CELL DIFFERENTIATION:

  • Rise in sea levels due to melting glaciers
  • Increased spread of diseases due to cold climate
  • Migration fo species to more habitable areas
  • Loss of habitat
  • Extinction and loss of biodiversity due to inhabitable environment and disruption to food chains
