(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A correct explanation has to be given for the question, Is atmospheric warming a good or a bad thing.

Concept introduction:

  • Global warming is a serious environmental issue, in which there is an increase in the overall temperature of the earth by various factors.
  • Greenhouse gases are one type of gas which traps the heat within the system and thus it increases the overall temperature of the earth resulting global warming.

Examples: CO2,CH4..

  • Greenhouse effect: The heat near the earth surface gets trapped by the gases present in the earth atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is the primary gas that traps more heat.
  • Atmosphere: The atmosphere is defined as air that is layer of gases which surrounds the earth due to gravity of earth.
  • The earth atmosphere consists of layers such as thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere and troposphere depending on the temperature and its composition.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Check whether the greenhouse effect cause climate change or not and give a necessary explanation.

  • Weather is a short term changes (temperature, wind, rain fall …) in the atmosphere and it can be observed in a short period of time.
  • Climate is the long term weather pattern of a particular area
