Atmospheric issues in today’s society are worse than ever even though precautions have been taken in highly developed countries. While many have taken steps to reduce these issues‚ them and many under developed countries still continue to pour out bad pollutants in the atmosphere. Today I will show you more about ozone depletion and how it relates to indoor air pollution. According to our text ozone "is a naturally produced‚ essential component in the stratosphere‚ which encircles our planet some

widespread that it is possible only to make the most general statements about their life history and ecology. They may be found on the tops of mountains‚ the bottom of the deepest oceans‚ in the guts of animals‚ and even in the frozen rocks and ice of Antarctica. One feature that has enabled them to spread so far‚ and last so long is their ability to go dormant for an extended period. Bacteria have a wide range of envronmental and nutritive requirements. Most bacteria may be placed into one of three

It was hypothesized that if the animal was larger‚ then it would have larger hemoglobin. It was thought that larger mammals would need more oxygen-rich hemoglobin to support healthy function. This lab did not support this hypothesis. The results in table 1 displayed that the hemoglobin of all mammalian samples traveled about the same distance. This trend can be seen in graph 1 as the mammalian hemoglobin samples migrated the same distance. Because the proteins traveled around the same distance it

In the mid-twentieth century the earth’s average temperature is increasing due to the fact that global warming is taking place. Global surface temperature has increased about a degree in the past century. The progressive gradual rise of the earth’s surface temperature thought to be caused by the greenhouse effect is responsible for changes in global climate patterns. An increase in the earth’s atmospheric and oceanic temperatures is widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse

is mostly affecting the tropical countries where insects are a huge problem. In most other climates the insect population is killed off almost completely with the colder temperatures especially frozen temperatures‚ hence why there are no bugs in Antarctica. In tropical areas insects live to grow and mature all year round which offers them uninterrupted life cycles and makes the disease infected insects so much harder to eradicate. Elephantiasis is caused by a couple of different things such as the

Many people think that this doesn’t seem like it would affect The United States‚ because the only thing everybody heard that Antarctica slowly shrinking is that the cute waddle polar bears will have no home. But this does in fact have an impact on people all over the world. For example‚ if Greenland’s

Air Pollution Essay The Sources and Affects of Air Pollution (topic): Air pollution is the contamination of the air by noxious gases and small particles of solid and liquid matter in amounts that can cause harm to living organisms. Sources of air pollution include: transportation engines such as automobiles‚ power and heat generation‚ industrial processes‚ and the burning of solid waste. The combustion of gasoline and other fuels in automobiles‚ trucks‚ and jet airplanes produce the most common

The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming Recently‚ global warming has moved to a serious scientific issue. Because sunlight is constantly falling on the earth‚ the law of physics say that the planet has to radiate the same amount of energy back into space. Infrared radiation is sent out by the earth through the atmosphere‚ where molecules (carbon dioxide) hold outgoing radiation for a while‚ warming the surface.1 The molecules are kind of like glass in a greenhouse which is why this process
