QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EXPOSITION TEXT
Team 9's Exposition Text (The questions are available below the text) In this text, we will explain about global warming, what is global warming, and why is it essential to think about it? Global warming is a scientific term for increasing the average earth temperature caused by the trapping of radiation within the world’s atmosphere, similar to a greenhouse effect. This has been a natural process throughout the world’s history, but it has only recently become an issue due to anthropogenic increases in greenhouse gas emissions. Global warming is caused by the rapid heating of the earth’s atmosphere due to trapped energy. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane can build up in the atmosphere, causing solar radiation to become trapped within the planet, as in a greenhouse, thus the name. As a result of the trapping of this radiation, the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere rises over time, and the world grows warmer. Natural and artificial factors contribute to global ...
