Global warming has nothing to do with earthquakes.

Earthquakes are at the margin between two tectonic plate boundaries. As the two plates push against each other pressure builds up which is released as a tremor that is felt to us on the earth, known as an Earthquake.

Does a hurricane cause global warming?

No, Hurricane Katrina caused flooding and terrible damage to humans and property, but it did not cause global warming. Global warming is caused among other things by man burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.


Which is not considered a result of global warming?

Is global warming increased by photosynthesis?

No.

What are the global problems of clearing forests and increased gas emissions from factories and motor vehicles?

The main global problems of clearing forests and increased gas emissions are global warming and acid rain. The clearing of forests means additional carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, causing global warming. Increased gas emissions also contribute to global warming and acid rain.


Is the tsuanmi in Japan caused by global warming?

No. The Japan tsunami was cause by an earthquake. Earthquakes are geologic events that are not affected by global temperatures. Global warming affects weather and climate patterns.


Was there always global warming?

No, global warming is a relatively recent phenomenon that has significantly accelerated since the industrial revolution. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have increased greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, leading to global warming.


An increase in average temperatures around the planet is known as what?

Global Warming


What is called global warming?

Global warming is the slow, steady increase in global temperatures. It is caused by increased levels in carbon dioxide and other pollutants caused by things like factories, and transportation.


Will hurricanes increase due to global warming?

It has been theorized that global warming will lead to an increased number and severity of hurricanes, however weather predictions are so incredibly complex that it is currently impossible to know for certain. Some of the most recent global-warming-related predictions failed miserably (predicting an increase in hurricanes in years when the actual number actually decreased). In general, however, the theory is quite plausible since global warming would mean an increase in atmospheric energy and hurricanes are most certainly a very obvious manifestation of a very energetic atmosphere.


What does global warming have to do with tsumanis?

Nothing much. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, or plate movements, usually under the sea. Global warming is caused by deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
