4) Greenhouse gases
Answers
Answer:
HEY
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
1》 BLEACHING OF CORAL REEFS
When water is too warm, corals will expel the algae (zooxanthellae) living in their tissues causing the coral to turn completely white. This is called coral bleaching. When a coral bleaches, it is not dead. ... In 2005, the U.S. lost half of its coral reefs in the Caribbean in one year due to a massive bleaching event.
2》 FLASH OF FLOODS
Flash floods are a quick and sudden
flood that unusually occured in drt velly
Flash floods may occur after the collapse of a natural ice or debris dam, or a human structure such as a man-made dam, as occurred before the Johnstown Flood of 1889.
3》Tool TO STUDY PALECLIMATOLGY
Paleoclimatology is the study of past climates. Since it is not possible to go back in time to see what climates were like, scientists use imprints created during past climate, known as proxies, to interpret paleoclimate. Organisms, such as diatoms, forams, and coral serve as useful climate proxies.
4》 GREENHOUSE GASES
Gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat just like the glass roof of a greenhouse. ... Earth's surface warms up in the sunlight. At night, Earth's surface cools, releasing heat back into the air. But some of the heat is trapped by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
