    Climate Change Cause and Effect Worksheet Task2

    Uploaded by

    AMINDA JIMENEZ
    Human activities like burning fossil fuels and overpopulation are the main causes of climate change. The greenhouse effect occurs when greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to increased global temperatures. If emissions continue at high rates, climate change will have serious consequences for human and planetary health through impacts on weather patterns, water availability, food sources, and disease. However, replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy can help fight climate change.

    WORKSHOP : Causes and Effects of Climate Change

    Directions: Watch the video, do the exercises, then review the answers by having students
    take turns reading aloud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4H1N_yXBiA

    Fill in the blanks using the word list below.

    Human activities from ____________ to overpopulating are driving up the earth’s temperature
    and fundamentally changing the world around us. The main cause is a phenomenon known as the
    ______________. Gases in the atmosphere, such as ____________, carbon dioxide,
    methane, nitrogen oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons let the sun’s light in, but keep some of the
    _____________ from escaping like the glass walls of a greenhouse. The more greenhouse
    gases in the atmosphere, the more heat gets_______________, strengthening the greenhouse
    effect and increasing the earth’s temperature. Human activities, like the burning of
    ______________ have increased the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by more than a third
    since the Industrial Revolution. The rapid increase in the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
    has warmed the planet at an alarming rate. While Earth’s climate has fluctuated in the past,
    atmospheric carbon dioxide hasn’t reached today’s levels in hundreds of thousands of years.
    Climate change has consequences for our ___________, our ______________, our food
    sources and our _______________.

    heat weather water vapor


    oceans pollution health
    fossil fuels trapped greenhouse effect

    Match the blue words below by filling in the definition number.

    # word # definition
    fundamentally 1 can be reproduced as quickly as produced, clean
    phenomenon 2 rise and fall irregularly in number or amount
    Industrial Revolution 3 to become less in size and importance
    alarming 4 a lung sickness that will not go away
    fossil fuels 5 fog made heavier and darker of smoke and chemical fumes
    diminish 6 changes in manufacturing and transportation when fewer
    things were being made by hand or moved by human power,
    but instead by transportation machines or in large scale
    factories.
    smog 7 basic or essential
    asthma 8 come from old life forms decomposed a long time ago like
    coal, oil, and natural gas.
    renewable 9 an observable fact or event
    fluctuated 10 causing people to feel worried or frightened
    Multiple Choice. Fill in the blank with the entire answer.

    Oceans
    In Greenland and Antarctica ___________________________.
    a. coastal regions are flooded. b. the sea level is melting c. ice sheets are melting.

    The extra water ______________________________.


    a. causes sea level to melt b. causes flooding of coastal regions. C. causes flooding of glaciers

    Weather
    Warmer temperatures lead to __________________________.
    a. fluids b. draws c. droughts d. steam

    Food
    Growing crops becomes more difficult _____________________.
    a. because the plants diminish b. because there is not enough water c. because there is too
    much water d. because the animals run away.

    Health
    In urban areas the warmer atmosphere creates an environment that traps and increases the
    amount of ___________. This is because smog contains ozone particles which increase rapidly
    at higher temperatures. Exposure to higher levels of smog can cause health problems such as
    asthma, heart disease and lung cancer.

    Fill in the missing words with the word list below.


    While the rapid rate of climate change is _____________ by humans, humans are also the ones
    who can _____________ it. If we work to replace fossil fuels with _____________ like solar
    and wind which don’t produce greenhouse gas _________________, we might still be able to
    prevent some of the worse effects of climate changes.
    renewable emissions caused smog fight
