Alisha thought about what she had learned in class. She wanted to explain the concept of global warming to her grandmother. Help Alisha give her grandmother a clear explanation by completing the following statements.(3 points)
3. Human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation cause concentrations of
in the atmosphere to increase. These chemicals act like a blanket,
. Examples of these chemicals are
. This causes a phenomenon called
, which means global temperatures are
. When this happens over a long period of time, it contributes to worldwide
.
3. Human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation cause concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to increase. These chemicals act like a blanket, trapping heat. Examples of these chemicals are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. This causes a phenomenon called global warming, which means global temperatures are rising. When this happens over a long period of time, it contributes to worldwide climate change.
4. Which is the MOST logical question Alisha could ask her grandmother about the relationship between deforestation and greenhouse gases? (1 point) Responses How does deforestation change the amount of solar energy released by the Sun? How does deforestation change the amount of solar energy released by the Sun? How do greenhouse gases cause deforestation? How do greenhouse gases cause deforestation? How does deforestation affect the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? How does deforestation affect the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? How do greenhouse gases convert forests into grassland?
How does deforestation affect the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
When trees are growing, they pull lots of Response area from the atmosphere. If trees are cut down, they stop taking in Response area and instead Response area it as they Response area.
When trees are growing, they pull lots of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. If trees are cut down, they stop taking in carbon dioxide and instead release it as they decompose.

Ocean currents are unrelated to polar ice.
Ocean currents appear to be changed by changes in ocean water at the poles.
Data show that polar ice is melting earlier in the spring and freezing later in the winter.
