Air Pollution Observation between Hong Kong and Chongqing Part 1 General Picture of Hong Kong and Chongqing and Meaning of Comparing A whole host of similarities between Hong Kong and Chongqing make this thesis’s aiming to exploit air pollution and approaches governments take more pragmatic and meaningful. Among the aforementioned similarities‚ the geographical ones could be treated as lurking causes of air pollution and other relative issues. Hence‚ this part is intended to showcase a general

Global warming refers to the rising average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans‚ which started to increase in the late 19th century and is projected to keep going up. Since the early 20th century‚ Earth’s average surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F)‚ with about two thirds of the increase occurring since 1980.[2] Warming of the climate system is unequivocal‚ and scientists are more than 90% certain that most of it is caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse

The Earth as a Planet It is important to look at the Earth in its context as only one of the nine planets which make up the solar system. This is an introduction to the Solar System‚ its formation‚ and composition‚ with special emphasis on the "terrestrial" or "inner" planets. I take a kind of historical approach‚ noting the patterns and regularities observed‚ for example‚ by Tycho Brahe‚ described by Johannes Kepler‚ and explained by Sir Isaac Newton. Laplace and even the philosopher Immanuel

A solar inverter‚ or PV inverter‚ converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into a utility frequencyalternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local‚ off-grid electrical network. It is a critical component in a photovoltaic system‚ allowing the use of ordinary commercial appliances. Solar inverters have special functions adapted for use with photovoltaic arrays‚ including maximum power point tracking and anti-islanding protection

The Earth as a Rotating Planet. What is Geography- writing about the earth. 1. Much more than place names and locations. 2. The study of spatial variation. 3. How and Why things differ from place to place. On the surface of the earth. 4. How observable spatial patterns evolved through time. 5. Focus on the interaction of people and social groups with their environment 6. Geography is about space and the content of space. Geographers try to answer three questions
