Air pollution Air pollution is a problem everywhere in the world. Local air pollution usually affects big cities. Air pollution becomes a worldwide problem when local pollution moves away from where it came from. For example‚ winds carry air pollution made in the middle of the western part of the United States to Canada‚ like acid precipitation. Acid precipitation Acid precipitation is precipitation‚ like rain‚ sleet‚ or snow‚ that contains acids from air pollution. When fossil fuels are burned

was a scientist called Alfred Wegener. He found evidence that the continents‚ such as South America and Africa‚ had once been joined and then drifted apart. [pic] Use the diagram to suggest two pieces of evidence that could be used to show that the continents had once been joined. The same Sedimentary rock was found on both continents containing fossils and also the shape of the east side of south America and the west side of Africa fit like a jigsaw puzzle. Evidence

Industrial smog is the black-brown colored haze that is in the air that can be seen over some cities. It is mostly visible in the summer. Burning coal produces sulfur dioxide (SO2) that eventually ends up into our atmosphere. Photochemical Smog is air pollution containing ozone and other reactive chemical compounds formed

AIR CARRIERS Question 1: What is the major advantage of air carriers? How does this advantage impact the inventory levels of those firms using air transportation? Explain how this advantage relates to the choice of modes when choosing between air carrier and other modes of freight and passengers transport. SPEED How does this advantage impact the inventory levels of those firms using air transportation? Lower inventory cost Lower related logistics cost Higher variable cost

Air Pollution * Pollutants enter the air from various sources‚ but burning of fossil fuels contributes the most to air pollution. * Exhaust fumes from vehicles contains soot (tiny carbon particles)‚ lead (from cars using unleaded petrol)‚ carbon monoxide‚ oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons due to the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. * Burning of fossil fuels in the combustion engines of vehicles and electrical power stations also releases large amount of carbon dioxide into the
