Global Warming
The people on earth faces a major problem called global warming.
Global warming occurs when the average temperature in many places on
earthrise. Environments will change as forming deserts. Icebergs may melt
causing the oceans to rise and flood many coastal areas. Although there may
take several years to happen, it is bound to happen.
We get energy from the sun in the form of heat. The extra heat should
bounce from the earth into space. This does not happen when the earths
atmosphere is full of polluted gases. The extra heat is trapped inside causing
the average temperatures to rise.
The extra heat trapped above the earth is called the green house
gases. Garbage burned in your backyard has greenhouse gases. Even the
wood used in cooking increases the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
.Trees reduces the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Trees use
the carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases in making their own food.
They give off clean air or oxygen. Another way to reduce the amount of
greenhouse gases is to plant more trees.

The air that surrounds the earth is called atmosphere. It lies around the
earth like a thick blanket. The atmosphere protects the earth from the suns
heat. If we have no atmosphere, the sun would fry the earth during the day
and freeze it during the night. The atmosphere helps keep in the heat, too.
Without the atmosphere, the earths heat would escape into the outer space.
Nothing could stay alive on earth without the atmosphere to protect us.

I. The atmosphere protects the earth from the suns heat.
