Presentation Transcript

  1. Quiz/Review • Get out a small piece of paper and put your name on it. • When the bell rings, the quiz will begin.

  2. Question 1 • Where do landslides occur most often?

  3. Question 2 • What can be done to lessen a likely landslide?

  4. Question 3 • What can be done to prevent floods?

  5. Answers • Steep slopes after rain. • Build walls, decrease the slope, control the water flow. • Low elevations like near water; lakes, rivers and the oceans.

  6. Climate changes affects of society Glaciers and the atmosphere

  7. Location • The whole world will be confronted with issues with climate at some point.

  8. Risks • Changing temperatures • Unhealthy air to breathe • Change in sea levels • Change in storm seasons • Less fresh water • Less diversity in life

  9. Prevention • Even though there are many different views on the causes of climate change there are many sources proving its occurrence. • Possible sources: • Humans (emissions from cars and burning organics) • Increased volcanism • Over population • Solar Activity

  10. Humans • Many make a correlation to the over population of humans and the increased emissions into the atmosphere.

  11. Volcanism • When a volcano erupts it send gasses into the atmosphere.

  12. Predictions • If the worlds climates continue at the same rate as now: • Massing flooding in coastal cities. • Increase in hurricanes and other storms • Some areas will become colder most on average more extreme weather. • Irreversible damage. • Animals habitats will change. • Crop failures.

  13. Major past events • Evidence suggests other events caused by tilting of the earth had changed. • Plate tectonics may have affected currents. • No ice caps and temperature was 6-8 degrees higher.
