Heat inbound-Climate change

This is my science work based on Climate change and effects it has.

Hurumanu - Climate Change

Aim: To look at the causes of climate change and how to prevent it.

Climate Change video; The Facts video

As you watch the video answer these questions:

What is our greatest threat in thousands of years?

How do we see climate change affecting the globe?

1. Floods
2. Sea level rise  
3. Wind
4. Heat waves

What is needed to change history?

To stop releasing gases into the air and stop it now

and use reuse able power sources  

Is climate change a man made disaster?

Yes

Dramatic action must be made in the next 12 years to change it?

Why is our climate changing?

Man kind are releasing green house gases and fossil fuels into the air.

What is causing the warming trend of the climate?

Fossil fuels, Green house gasses and Man kind

What is the main problem?

Humans

What are examples of these?

Humans burning fossil fuels releasing harmful gasses into the air.

Burning fossil fuels releases what gas?

Carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.

How much hotter now is our world?

+1.1c

What do we call this global warming?

Climate change

How is this affecting creatures / animals like bats?

Its killing them and bats die because they get to hot

What percentage of species are near extinction?

30-50%

How could this effect the world ecosystems?

a lot more rain and stronger heat waves. Also kills food and needed animals.

What global change was seen and recording breaking last year?

Heat

How is climate change affecting our weather systems?

1. Floods 

2.More rain 

3. Stronger more deadly heat waves

What is another effect of climate change?

Melting of ice causing dramatic water rise 

What will happen if the ice melts in Antarctica and the Arctic?

More water and loss of use able land

How does this affect people?

Less places to live less places to get food and a lot more.

What other things affect oceans change?

Tectonic plates and the earths core 

What does to much heat do to coral?

They die

Why did some industries not want to stop burning fossil fuels?

can put them out of business and stop production causing less cars and other thing that are very useful.

Investigation

You can decide on how you would like to do this investigation. Your presentation could be on the blog, slides, or PowerPoint.

Write a definition, upload an image and list where these fossil fuels are mined.

1. Coal  Coal is mined in a mine which is underground. Its a black rock which has plant gas in it.
2. Oil  Oil is found in the ground and mainly underwater. Its a dark liquid used as  
3. Natural Gas  Deep in the ground where rock formations are that has plant fuel in it.

Write a paragraph and upload an image about each of these renewable energy.

1. Solar  Solar power is trapping heat from the sun and reforming it into power. That heat is some how reformed into electricity. A lot of countries use it one is Germany and the other is Spain. It is very useful and is draining the sun just a bit which is fine. It is good to use and will be sustainable for a long time.                             
2. Wind  Wind turbines spin and make a generator work which makes electricity. I'm not completely sure how it works but it will be useful for as long as we live. It is very sustainable as wind is a natural thing. Almost every country uses it at this current moment like France and Canada.  
3. Waves: Waves hit a generator that is above the water. The power from this is normally used in power plants and water pumps. Canada also uses this power and so does Brazil. There a magnetic shaft anchoring it to the ground and this generator is normally 1-2 miles offshore. The amount of energy produced is 
   
   based on the waves form.
4. Hydro Hydro power is catching energy of falling water which generates electricity. A turbine takes kinetic energy and converts it into mechanical energy. Then a generator takes the mechanical energy and makes electrical energy. This is very sustainable and does not hurt the environment. 2 countries that use this are the United States and China.                                                                                          Write a 6 sentence reflection about what you have learnt about Climate Change and how it is going to affect us.  

Animals are going extinct, water is rising, more storms are forming, the sun is heating the world more than normal making deadly heat waves. Less land is available to farm and live on. Trees will stop growing because animals are dying. If climate change is not stopped now it will kill earth.

Also it is very deadly it has killed 99.9% of animals already and has to be stopped as
