This results in the destruction of the land (it can no longer be used for planting crops) and soil erosion. The loosened topsoil can be washed down by rains and the sediments get into rivers, streams and waterways. Downstream, they can kill the fish and plant life and block river channels which cause flooding.]]> 2018-01-23 15:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/q3nyiw5k1adh/wish/223838612 mcappuccino https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/q3nyiw5k1adh/wish/223838618 2018-01-23 15:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/q3nyiw5k1adh/wish/223838618 https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/q3nyiw5k1adh/wish/223863971 The greenhouse effect is the natural heating of the Earth, when the sun's solar rays come into the atmosphere to heat up the Earth. The Earth absorbs some of the heat, but the rest is SUPPOSED to go back out of the atmosphere, after reflecting off of Earth. But instead of leaving the atmosphere, the solar rays get trapped by "Greenhouse gases" like Carbon Dioxide. This causes the Earth to heat up. These "Greenhouse gases" are made by air pollution, that is emitted by cars, smoke stacks, and other things. ]]> 2018-01-23 16:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/q3nyiw5k1adh/wish/223863971 mhassan1225 https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/q3nyiw5k1adh/wish/223864072 Air pollution is a mixture of possibly dangerous gases and solid particles in the air. Car emissions, dust, pollen, chemicals are some of the things included. There are different kinds of pollution, some visible some not--that contribute to global warming. Sulfur dioxide is a chemical that is released into the air from chemical factories. When we breath that in, we are exposed to dangerous chemicals which can cause us to be sick. ]]> 2018-01-23 16:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/q3nyiw5k1adh/wish/223864072 https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/q3nyiw5k1adh/wish/223864162 Air pollution is a mix of gas and oil that has been brought up in the air and travels to different places and can harm people from the toxic mix.

Oil spills cause something called oil spill pollution have a very high chance of harming us directly or indirectly.

The two highest sources of greenhouse gas in 2015 were electricity and transportation which both involve burning fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.  ]]> 2018-01-23 16:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/q3nyiw5k1adh/wish/223864481 https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/q3nyiw5k1adh/wish/223864773 a oil explosion is when something with oil
