Activity One - Draw and Label

For this activity we are going to see how much you can remember about the enhanced greenhouse effect. Draw out a copy of the diagram below on A4 paper and add to it all the knowledge and understanding of how the enhanced greenhouse effect works. 

Activity Two - Describe

As always in Geography it is important to be able to interpret different visual sources of information. Using the images below answer the following questions.

• • 1. Using image three, identify the countries which produced the largest amounts of carbon dioxide?

    2. Do any of the countries you recorded in question 1 surprise you? If so, explain why.

    3. Using image four, describe the pattern of carbon emissions against GDP. Remember to also give examples of specific countries.

    4. For the top five countries that you have identified as being large producers of carbon emissions, explain why this is the case. Think back to the 'Resources' unit and use the 'Useful Resource' box below.

    5. Using image five, describe and explain the trends in emissions by source.

    6. Using image six, describe the changes in carbon dioxide emissions by sector.

Image Three - Emissions per Capita

Image Four - Carbon Emissions by Country and GDP

Image Five - Carbon Emissions by Source

Image Six - Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector

Activity Three - Discuss

While it is interesting to look at who produces the most carbon emissions and within which sector, we now need to link this to the concepts of power and possibilities. 

• • 1. Using the first article in the 'Useful Resources' box write down the ten largest consumers of carbon emissions.

    2. Using the second article in the 'Useful Resources' box write down the KOF figure for the countries that you have listed in question 1.

    3. Is there a correlation between emissions and how globalised a country is? Explain your answer.
