Geology as a science is focused on the study of the structures and functions of the Earth's processes, both in the past and at the present. In here we can make a rough division to physical and historical geology.

The physical geology is concerned with the study of the processes at the present, such as the volcanoes, earthquakes, rock formation, pollution issues etc.

The historical geology, on the other hand, is focused on studying the preserved evidence of the geological processes in the past.

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The increase in cloud-cover occurs with introduction of larger amounts of aerosols into the atmosphere. The increased amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere will result in an increase of the greenhouse effect. Basically, the carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, having properties that enable it to trap the heat into the Earth's atmosphere. By doing so, the carbon dioxide will contribute to warmer atmosphere, thus warmer global climate. The effect of it will be that the Earth will have rise in the temperatures on global scale. The ice sheets will mostly melt, resulting in sea level rise. The rise of the sea levels will mean more ocean water, and less land, which in turn will create climate conditions that will be warm and wet in most of the planet.
