on a global level such as global warming,
climate change, El Niño and La Niña;
2. Determine the factors that influence
global climatic phenomenon;
Objectives
3. Explain the impact of global climatic
phenomenon on the daily lives of the people;

will raise awareness of the impact of global
climatic phenomenon to the people
Greenhouse Effect
- It is the natural warming
process of the Earth results
when gases in the atmosphere
trap heat from the earth that
would otherwise escape into
space.
• Sunlight makes the earth habitable.
Destruction of
habitat
Deforestation is the
primary cause of carbon
dioxide release because
forest and trees store
carbon dioxide and
commonly known as
“carbon sinks”.
Natural processes also
contribute to global
climate change such as
volcanic activity, changes
within the Sun’s energy
output, and variations in
Earth’s orbit.
Global climate change key indicators:
• melting of
ice at Earth’s
poles and in
mountain
glaciers
Global climate change key indicators:
• extreme weather
phenomena like
heat wave
Global climate change key indicators:
• extreme weather
phenomena like
hurricanes
Global climate change key indicators:
• extreme weather
phenomena like
hurricanes
Global climate change key indicators:
• extreme
weather
phenomena
like drought
Global climate change key indicators:
• extreme weather
phenomena like
floods and
precipitation
What can we do to
reduce emissions of
greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere?
A renewable resource
is one that can be
used repeatedly and
does not run out
because it is naturally
replaced.
Geothermal Energy
Hydrothermal Energy
Wind Energy
Solar Energy
