fossil fuels, global warming and the greenhouse effect

the greenhouse effect

The greenhouse effect is a good thing but if we have to much of it it's a bad thing because with just enough we stay warm and can sustain life on planet earth but if we have to much of the greenhouse effect the ice caps will melt which will make the seas rise and after the sea rises most islands wil be under water.

These gases cause the greenhouse effect by trapping heat from the sun and keeping it near the earth.

There are gases that we call greenhouse gases. Some of the greenhouse gases are co2 and methane.

global warming

Global warming is our weather patterns changing and natural disasters are going to happen more often and become more deadly.

fossil fuels

Fossil fuels are created by an animal or plant dying and then getting Buried under the earths surface . After that the plants or animals buried under the ground get surrounded by rocks and sand that over millions of years he dead plants or animals have all the moisture squeezed out of them and they transform into fossil fuels.

When we burn fossil fuels we release carbon into the air which then transforms into co2 when it mixes with the air and co2 is a greenhouse gas.

Fossil fuels are coal oil and natural gas which are non renewable energy sources.
