Answer to Question 1

Answer: Global warming is the result of the Earth's temperature increasing during the 20th century by approximately 1 degree Celsius. This increase in global temperature is due to increases in greenhouse gases such as CO2 that enhance the greenhouse effect. The effects of global warming are a reduction in the size of glaciers and the polar ice sheets and consequently a rise in sea level.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Latent heat exchange is when water changes state and is a key component of the precipitation process and involves the transfer of tremendous energy from low latitudes to high latitudes causing the development of major weather systems and hurricanes.
