Global Warming-Response to Text

Global Warming

 

Think carefully about each question, and use evidence from the texts to support your conclusions. Write your answers in full sentences, and use explanations and examples where needed.

 

Surface Level: Find the Answer in the Text

  1. What is global warming?

 

Global warming is one of the main effects of climate change, one of the effects of global warming is that the temperatures of the Earth rise. Many creatures are endangered like the polar bears, their homes are melting slowly and they barely have any ice anymore. 

 

  1. What are greenhouse gases?

 

Greenhouse gases contain Methane  Nitrous oxide Carbon dioxide and more. Greenhouse gases are caused by normal human activities such as burning your garbage, 

 

  1. How does global warming affect the temperature and weather?

 

Greenhouse gases make a thick barrier around the earth making when heat goes  inside and normally the heat gets reflected but instead the gases block the heat from going out so it creates a hot temperature .

 

Inference: Use Clues from the Text to Think of an Answer

  1. How do you think global warming causes sea levels to rise?

 

Global warming causes the sea levels to rise because global warming melts the glaciers and we drink the water in the glaciers because it’s safe. If the glaciers melt their water will get infected by the salt.

 

  1. What do you think could be the consequences of extreme weather for humans and animals

 

One consequence that humans will cause to themselves is that the Earth’s temperature will rise immensely, like for example, from the last 12,000 years! The Earth’s temperature rose cup 60 degrees, which is not that much but when you compare it to the hottest temperature ever recorded it is!
  1. How do you think global warming affects the survival of different species and the food chain?

 

Global warming also effects the waters through pollution which make animals that survive on fish so they will die and more animals will die and Interrupts the food chain

 

Unfamiliar Words: Clarifying Language that may cause Misunderstanding

 

Word Sentence from the text Definition 
Biodiversity This causes a loss of biodiversity because some species may become rare or even disappear completely. all the different types of animals, plants and fungi living on earth.
Renewable We can take action to help by saving energy, using renewable resources, and supporting rules that protect our environment. something that cannot be used up, or that can easily be replaced.
Sustainable If we work together, we can reduce the effects of global warming and make a healthier, more sustainable future for ourselves and the generations to come. being support something; to be able to keep something going in a
Environment These things can hurt the environment, ruin crops, and be dangerous for people and animals. everything around us, both living and nonliving.

 

Global Inferencing: Making Connections between the Text and the Wider World

 

Imagine you are living on a small Pacific Island, and you notice the sea level rising. You have to act quickly in order to save your village from the rising water. What do you do?

 

You can write a narrative or an explanation to describe what you would do.

I actually have many ideas but the 1st idea that popped into my head was retreating back into the central part of the island and start to make stuff such as rafts,a tree house(I thought of a tree house cause if the water came up faster than I thought I could climb to the tree house and I will be safe from the water).Another idea I thought of was making a wall around the island and than I realised it was a dumb idea cause what if I wanted to get another food source so than I thought of making out posts to not only see the but to fish and just for more protection I will add two more walls behind the 1st wall to and there will be doors that can exit outside into the beach if you dropped something or for any other reasons.We could make a moat around the island so if the water came it would go into the moat and this not only can protect our village from the water but can also protect us from other people trying to attack our island.But my idea that I thought that would actually work is if we made a huge raft that can fit everyone in the village and paddle all the way to the nearest island or country.

 

Climate Change-The Biggest Challenge

Climate Change – The Biggest Challenge

 

We have spent the last week learning about Climate Change and the impact that it has on life on Earth. For this week’s writing task we are going to be explaining what Climate Change is, what impact it has, and what we need to do to improve how we look after the environment.

 

Make sure you have read and understood what Explanatory Writing is, and have made a plan.

 

Your task is to explain

 what Climate Change is, and what impact it has on Earth.

 

Begin your writing here:Climate change one of the most worst crisis that has happened in history.Let’s start off by talking about what is climate change.In 1896 there was a man named Svante Arrhenius,(By the way this is when climate change was first taken seriously, not when it started) when he predicted that change in the carbon dioxide level will increase the greenhouse effect.Until in 1938 a English steam engineer named  Guy Calendar(Yes Guy Calender is a real person and his full name is Guy Stewart calendar)discovered that Svante’s theory was true.The way he found out was when he connected Carbon dioxide increase,  Earth’s Atmosphere and global warming.

Climate change impacts Earth through global warming. Global warming is the increase in Earth’s temperature caused when heat shines onto earth’s atmosphere and heat will get reflected giving earth a stable temperature. Sadly that’s not what’s happening, what’s actually happening is when greenhouse gases get too packed  into each other making a thick layer which acts like a barrier. This causes the Greenhouse gases to surround earth letting only a bit of heat get out causing lots of heat to stay inside earth’s atmosphere creating a very hot temperature(If you don’t get it basically for example if the barrier(The greenhouse gases)surround the earth and the people(The heat)try to escape through the barrier only some can make it through.

Climate change can not only affect our world but us too because when it’s very hot the heat will start a forest fire.Spreading to even more and more areas,Trees are also a life source for humans because they give out oxygen and boost the humans immune system which is great!Also when heat shines onto the glaciers they melt making the sea levels rise which is a bad thing because not also do we not have much land we will also not have much fresh water because as you should know we get our water from glaciers so when the melted water goes into the sea the water is not drinkable anymore cause in the sea their is salt in the water.

Here are some ways we can slow down and prevent increasing climate change.We can do something as simple as turn off devices if your not using it or turning off the lights if your not in a certain room,all those things can prevent climate,you can also prevent climate change by not driving and ride stuff that dont need gas like riding bikes walking and maybe driving electric cars.These are only a few ways to prevent climate change.Climate change can be stopped in many ways and if we all proceed to do these simple things we can slow down the increase of climate change.

Climate change is very bad for our community and world.Climate change makes a huge difference in our world and our health and we can choose to increase or decrease climate change.It’s your choice.
