What are the cause of Greenhouse effect? Describe in detail.
Show model answer
Greenhouse effect: gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour, nitrous oxide and CFCs in the atmosphere let sunlight pass through but absorb the infrared (heat) radiated by the earth and radiate part of it back, warming the earth. A natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth at about 15°C (otherwise about −18°C).
Causes of increase: burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, industries, vehicles, use of fertilisers and cattle farming.
Effects: global warming, melting of glaciers and polar ice, sea level rise and floods, change in climate and rainfall, spread of diseases and loss of species.
Control: use renewable energy, plant trees, save energy and reduce pollution.
Write method to reduce water pollution.
Show model answer
Methods to reduce water pollution: (1) treat industrial and sewage waste before throwing it in rivers and seas; (2) do not throw garbage, oil or dead animals into water; (3) use limited amounts of fertilisers and pesticides; (4) use biodegradable detergents; (5) build sewage treatment plants; (6) pass and enforce laws against pollution and create public awareness.
