Global warmingThe Earth's temperature is a vital aspect for the Earth and its surroundings. Atmospheric temperature as well as natural gases are the main reasons why the Earth inhabits all its life. When changes alter the natural effects of the Earth's environment, factors put the environment at risk. Increasing warming of global temperatures is a major concern for Earth's environment. Global warming is an important source for examining how and why the environment, coastal areas, water resources, agriculture, food supply and the health of human life have changed. There are many reasons why global warming has had such effects on the environment, but natural causes and human activity are the main factors. The main goal of this research is to provide factors for why global warming is occurring and information on why global warming has such an effect on Earth's geological events, as well as solutions to control warming climatic. The importance of understanding global warming will help control its impact. on the terrestrial environment. Global warming is the effect of increased warming in atmospheric temperature resulting in a change in the Earth's climate (USGS.gov, 2008). Increased global warming is the result of two greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, being filtered and trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. The layers of Earth's atmosphere are intended to protect life from high-energy radiation and the frigid vacuum of space (nasa.gov, 2010), but as the layers of the atmosphere thin, their vital protective role will decrease. Landfill waste, industries and deforestation are the reason global warming exists and will in turn affect all life on Earth.
