2. Global warming refers to the increase of the earth's average
surface temperature,due to a build-up of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere.
Due to the observerd incrase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas
concentrations via an enchange greenhouse effect.
Natural phenomen such as solar variation combined with
volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from
pre-industrial times.
3. Natural gás, coal, petroleum..
Global warming causes broader changes, including glacial
melting Arctic shrinkage, and worldwide sea level rise, changes in
the amount and pattern of frequency and intensity of extreme
weather events. Other effects may include changes in agricultural
yields,
addition of new trade routes summer stream flows species
extinctions.
4. Water vapor, methane, ozone, carbon dioxide.
6. Name should we do about global warming?
Using less energy, recycling, save water, using public
transports, using hybrid cars, using solar panels on our
houses.
5. 7. My biome is Rain forests . This biome is located in Near
the Equator, and a world biome map showing this biome can
be found at :

3. The average yearly rainfall of my biome is Rainfall
between 1750-2000mm(68-78 inches) and the average temperature
is not higher than 93ºF(34ºC) and not below than 68ºF(20ºC)
6. Other interesting or unique facts or features are :
The average humidity is between 77% and 88%. In
monsoonal areas, there is a real day season.
Almost all rain forests lie near the equator. Rain forests, now
cover less than 6% of earth's land
surface. Scientists estimate that more than half or all the
worlds plant and animal species live in
tropical rain forest, tropical forest produce 70% of earth's
oxygen.
