... trees and other vegetation remove from the atmosphere in the process of photosynthesis. Ozone depletion is another cause of global warming. The ozone layer shields the Earth from 95 to 99% of the ultraviolet rays from the sun. As the ozone layer is depleted by various causes, more heat energy reaches the surface. The rate at which the surface temperature rises is extremely important. Experts predict that the average surface temperature will rise ... to migrate or perhaps even become extinct. Global warming causes many health risks also. The rise in temperature may increase the risk of v...

Tides are the periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water on earth. These changes in water depth are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, along with the depth of the water, and barometric pressure. The most important force on the tides is the moon. The gravitational force of the earth attracts all the water in the oceans, but it is also attracted to the moon. The water's attraction to the moon is much ... per rotation (approximately). The sun also effects the earth's tides.

... is another impact of global warming that only adds to the urgency to address it. As the temperature increases, snowcaps and ice begin to melt. The run-off trickles to the nearby seas and oceans, and the sea level rises. Also, since snow reflects back the sun's heat, reduction in snowcaps further increases the rate at which the bare ground absorbs the sun's heat and raises temperatures. This is a cycle that goes on ... and on. In his book 'Global Warming', Michael Anderson states that the IPCC has projected that the artic could have a complete ... ...
