Alterations in climate and weather class4th




The man's action has altered both the climate and the weather...



Since Industrial Revolution men have been producing more and more gases from cars, factories and power plants.

The atmosphere has been filled with carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.

The gaseous blanket surrounding the atmosphere has been thickened. (Greenhouse effect)

The Earth's heat is trapped in the atmosphere, increasing the Earth's temperature.

The rapid increase in the temperature will cause dangerous alterations to the weather and the global climate:

LONG PERIODS OF DROUGHTS
Desertification
Forests will  be destroyed
Sahara will enlarge and reach Italy and Spain
The Nile delta will disappear
Water shortages


PROLONGED HEAVY PRECIPITATIONS
STORMS/TORNADOES/HURRICANES
