across the world believe that human activities contribute to climate change by causing changes in Earth’s atmosphere in the amounts of greenhouse gases‚ aerosols (small particles)‚ and cloudiness. A recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that the largest known contribution comes from the burning of fossil fuels‚ which releases carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases and aerosols affect climate by altering incoming solar radiation and outgoing infrared

from the Earth ’s surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere‚ causing the atmosphere to become warmer. The greenhouse effect is what is causing the temperature on the Earth to rise‚ and creating many problems that will begin to occur in the coming decades. For the last 10‚000 years‚ the Earth ’s climate has been extraordinarily beneficial to mankind. "Humans have prospered tremendously well under a benign atmosphere‚" (Bates 28). <br><br>Today‚ however‚ major changes are taking place

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 effect resulting from pollution. Atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) is known as a Greenhouse gases‚ which means the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can lead to global warming which could affect the world’s environment. Scientists have determined that humans are responsible for the increases by use of cars‚ industries‚ and forest fires

have been alternating it. The atmospheric greenhouse effect naturally keeps our planet warm enough to be livable. Sunlight passes through the atmosphere. Light-colored surfaces‚ such as clouds or ice caps‚ radiate some heat back into space. But most of the incoming heat warms the planet’s surface. The Earth then radiates some heat back into the atmosphere. Some of that heat is trapped by greenhouse gases in

Name: ____________________________________________ Period _________ Date _________________ Earth’s Dimensions Unit: Layers of the Atmosphere & Earth’s Interior INTRODUCTION: The Earth’s atmosphere is divided into 4 layers. There is a boundary where each layer ends and a new one begins and a name is given to this boundary – a pause. Distinct temperature differences are found within each layer. For example‚ at the stratopause‚ the temperature stops increasing with altitude

cities with thousands of smoky industrial enterprises appear all over the world today. The by-products of their activity pollute the air we breathe‚ the water we drink‚ the land we grow grain and vegetables on. Every year world industry pollutes the atmosphere with about 1000 million tons of dust and other harmful substances. Many cities suffer from smog. Cars and factories pollute the air we use. Their fume also destroys the ozone layer which protects the Earth from the dangerous light of the Sun.

England‚ 1984. The aim of these researchers was to look at the incapacitating effect of fire atmospheres paying particular attention to the effects of sub-lethal concentrations of Hydrogen cyanide (HCN). These researchers were concerned with discovering which fire atmosphere components were likely contributors to toxicity by comparing the effects of atmospheres made with Polyacrylonitrile to HCN gas atmospheres on monkeys. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is a fibre commonly used as padding and other fabrics

Thermosphere The thermosphere (literally "heat sphere") is the outer layer of the atmosphere‚ separated from the mesosphere by the mesopause. Within the thermosphere temperatures rise continually to well beyond 1000°C. The few molecules that are present in the thermosphere receive extraordinary amounts of energy from the Sun‚ causing the layer to warm to such high temperatures. Air temperature‚ however‚ is a measure of the kinetic energy of air molecules‚ not of the total energy stored by the air
