1. HOW DOES GLOBAL
WARMING AFFECT
HURRICANES?
By: Tristan J.

2. What is global warming?
An increase in the average temperature of the Earth's
atmosphere, especially a sustained increase great enough
to cause changes in the global climate. The Earth has
experienced numerous episodes of global warming
through its history, and currently appears to be
undergoing such warming. The present warming is
generally attributed to an increase in the greenhouse
effect brought about by increased levels of greenhouse
gases, largely due to the effects of human industry and
agriculture. Expected long-term effects of current global
warming are rising sea levels, flooding, melting of polar ice
caps and glaciers, fluctuations in temperature and
precipitation, more frequent and stronger El Niños and La
Niñas, drought, heat waves, and forest fires.

3. WHAT IS THE
GREENHOUSE
AFFECT?
The greenhouse effect is the rise in
temperature that the Earth experiences
because certain gases in the atmosphere
(water vapor, carbon dioxide , nitrous
oxide).

9. So what does global
warming have to do
with hurricanes?
Hurricanes are formed in warm water,if
the temperature rises the water will become
warmer and more hurricanes will occur. But,
after reading other theories this one struck me
the most. “More heat will cause faster
evaporation making more clouds allowing little
heat and sun into the atmosphere making the
Earth cooler possibly creating another Ice
Age.” The reason this one struck me the most
is that to me it doesn’t seem possible.

10. The end
The point of all this is that Global
warming must be stopped. Even if it is
the simple stages of the earth or just
because we are not being careful it is
hurting people everywhere and it must
stop.
