Short Essay on Global Warming

By - Tapas Singha. You can take the doc format here. Global warming is the steady and continuous rise in the overall level of earth’s temperature. It has become a significant threat to the  environment. It is caused by a natural process called greenhouse effect but it is intensified to its current level with some human activities. Global warming possesses threat of extreme heat, drought, flood, rising sea levels and extinction of some animal and plant species. Global Warming is caused by a naturally appearing process called the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect begins with the sun and the energy it radiates to the earth. The earth and the atmosphere absorbs some of these energy while the rest is radiated back into space. Naturally occurring gases trap some of these energy and reflect it back, warming the earth.

Types of Motivation

Motivation is defined as the process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors. It may be broadly classified into two types — Intrinsic and Extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic Motivation: In intrinsic motivation, the source of motivation lies within  the task or activity itself. The individual gets motivated to do one or the other things on account of the satisfaction received by him in doing so in order to satisfy his natural instincts, urges and impulses. Extrinsic Motivation: In Extrinsic motivation, however , the source of pleasure does not lie within the task. Here one does not learn or do something for its own sake but does it as a means of getting some external reward i.e. working for a grass or honour instead of seeking joy in the activity itself.
