Solution

Global warming:

  1. Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the earth’s surface.
  2. Global warming occurs as a result of increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
  3. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and the water vapor.
  4. These gases trap solar radiations released back by earth.
  5. This helps in keeping our planet warm and thus, helps in the human survival.
  6. An increase in amount of greenhouse gases can also lead to an excessive increase in the earth’s temperature, leading to the global warming.
  7. Global warming is a result of industrialization, burning of fossil fuels, and deforestation.

If global warming does not stop:

  1. If global warming continues it would result in the melting of glaciers leading to a rise in sea level.
  2. Global warming may cause heat waves.
  3. Natural calamities like droughts and floods occur.
