Research specific effects of change in temperature. Evaluate procedures to curtail the effects of global warming and make suggestions to a world leader.
Solar radiation heats the landmasses, oceans, and air.
Transfer of heat energy at the boundaries between the atmosphere, the landmasses, and the oceans results in layers of different temperatures and densities in both the ocean and atmosphere. One or two class periods Procedure 1. Ask the students how they define global warming. Have them brainstorm some potential effects of global warming that concern them, and have a student list these on the board. Inform the students that the Kyoto pact in 1997 was an international agreement to reduce greenhouse gases emissions.
