Carbon Dioxide and Climate Change
Research Question: Is the rate of climate change affected by the amount of carbon emission?
Hypothesis: If the Earth's concentration of carbon is high, than there will also be an increase in the Earth’s land temperature because of greenhouse gases that are created over time resulting in the warm up the earth’s land.
Background Information:
The earth is kept warmer than it should be because of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They retain heat. One of the greenhouse gases that have the biggest effect is Carbon dioxide which is released into that atmosphere through cell respiration in living organisms and combustion of biomass and fossil fuels. It is then removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis …show more content…
Hurricanes need a lot of warm and moist air to form and keep them going, with the rise in temperature there is more warm air to be able to make more stronger hurricanes.harder faster rainfalls will occur where there usually is less rain and areas where a lot of snow fell will have more rain and less snow.All this rain will eventually lead to a flood.With the increase of heat in the air and in the land causing heat waves to last longer. This affects us and the live stock farmers raise. Water levels will also rise because of the melting ice causing small islands and other pieces of land to get covered by water.Since the ice is melting, this means there will e less land for animals such as seals, penguins, polar bears, to stand on. This will lead to many death and soon extinction (David …show more content…
Most of the warmth is in the North Pole and South Pole. Areas between the poles and the equator will show a slow transitional rise in temperature which will eventually to affect humans. Unfortunately many of the industries use coal, oil, natural gas, or fossil fuel which will produce carbon dioxide. If there is a restriction on these fuels, The usage of everyday things, such as an air conditioner, would not be so simple and people would not like this. This is why trying to cut down on these fuels is hard (Kidd, 2006).
Independent Variable
Carbon Emission Dependent Variable
Earth’s Land Temperature
Controlled Variable
Why it is coltroled?
Method of control?
Years in which the temperature is measured
It is best to gather the data at a certain rate between each of the year the data is taken so that the data will be more consistent.
Keep a five year gap between each year the temperature was measured.
Materials: There is not a necessity for materials needed in this experiment.
Apparatus: A computer
Method:
Gather reliable data from a valid source.
Create as many tables needed to record the data that was collected from the research.
Create a graph using the data so that it can be further analyzed.
Safety and Ethical Considerations: There is no safety or ethical consideration needed for this
