For this project, we had to make a map, with many terms about climate change, and connect them all. We also had to say the relationship between the terms and how they affect each other. We ended with 18 terms that were all connected through climate change.
TERMS:
Mitigation: reducing the severity, seriousness, or painfulness of something.
Power plant: an installation where electrical power is generated for distribution.
Nuclear power: the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant.
Wind: a natural movement of air of any velocity
Fossil fuel: formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.
Sinks: a reservoir that takes up a chemical element or compound from another part of its natural cycle.
Forests: a large area covered chiefly with trees and undergrowth.
Oceans: a large area covered chiefly with trees and undergrowth.
Renewable energy: energy that is collected from renewable resources, which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.
Sea level rise: Since at least the start of the 20th century, the average global sea level has been rising. Between 1900 and 2016, the sea level rose by 16–21 cm.
Ice cover: miniature ice sheets, covering less than 50,000 square kilometers
Temperature: the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch.
Greenhouse gases: a gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation, e.g., carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons.
Carbon dioxide: a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air
Water vapor: the gaseous phase of water.
Methane: gas that is found in small quantities in Earth's atmosphere. Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon.
Nitrous oxide: a chemical compound, an oxide of nitrogen.
For this project it was kind of boring but I had to think of many connections. There were many terms so therefor this project took some time. Since there were around twenty bubbles we had to make around that many connections. If i had a choice I would not do this project again because I already knew all of this information I just had to put it on paper. This would have been a good brain drain project. But, this project really made me think of connections and use my brain.
