Global Warming-Rise in sea level

Problem:Greenhouse gasses increase as cars and other vehicles factories burn lots of fossil fuels to provide us with our daily needs.

  When Greenhouse gasses(like carbon dioxide)increase,the earth will get warmer,hence there is global warming.

  Due to the temperature rising,there are lots of problems now,like the polar ice caps are melting,causing a rise in the sea level.

 

What happens: When the sea level is rising,low altitude islands may sink below the sea.

The people who live on these island may have huge problems as the sea may destroy human property .

 Also,animals who live on the ice caps will also have problems,as they will have less land to live on,so there may be a problem of overcrowding,and may not be able to adjust to the heat high enough.

Solution:We should all try to conserve energy and use the 3r`s to save the planet.We should also try greener ways to make energy,by using wind or solar energy,or by making more environmentally products for us to use.

Currently,scientist are trying to use Geo-engineering to solve climate change

notes when doing the environment

there's nothing much, because azeem didn't send me much.

1) we must branch out whatever we say

2) we should expand whatever we write and make it more spread out

3) try to keep it short and point out the main points

Define Arts, Design, Media and Technology

Before researching on the internet, we defined the meaning of art, design, media and techonology ourselves.

Art:

• expressing yourself
• unique things
• making it in a whole new way by using tools from our learning device to help us.

Design:

• structure
• making an ordinary and plain object look unique

Media:

• software (example keynotes and pages)
• using virtual applications
• communication

Technology:

• using hightech equipments

After researching, we got the following information:

Art:

• it is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, sculpture, and paintings. The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics.

adopted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art

Design:

• it is the planning that lays the basis for the making of every object or system

adopted from:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design

Media:

• In the arts, media (plural of medium) are the materials and techniques used by an artist to produce a work.

adopted from:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_(arts)

Technology:

• Technology deals with human as well as other animal species' usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species' ability to control and adapt to its natural environment.
