4.14 Enhanced Greenhouse Effect

4.14 Understand how an increase in greenhouse gases results in an enhanced greenhouse effect and that this may lead to global warming and its consequences.

• As the green house gases increases it means that more infra-red light will be trapped therefore more global heating 
• Consequences: 
• Polar ice caps melt causing increase in sea level and change in global water currents 
• Average global temperature effects the habitat of animals, biomes will change and move 
• Ice caps will disappear, deserts will grow. forest will dry up
