mid-1800s) humans had affected the Earth’s atmosphere drastically. We have quickly attained a mass amount of geological force in terms of our ability to change the atmosphere so easily. Human population has been constantly escalating rapidly‚ ever since 1900. About 7 billion people are living right now! With such a large population‚ there has been an increasing need for products. Carbon Dioxide is a “Greenhouse Gas”. Greenhouse Gasses can trap heat in our atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide levels have increased

Besides‚ Ammonia is a very common by product from agriculture related activities and is one of the most hazardous gases in the atmosphere. ➢ Air Pollution-Paragraph 2.

any rock or soil that remains frozen constantly for 2 or more years” (Unknown‚ 2008). Greenhouse gases are trapped within the frozen permafrost. Permafrost is rich in CO2 and Methane; Methane preserves twenty three times more heat than CO2 in our atmosphere. (Wolter‚ 2008) The more permafrost melts‚ the more methane and CO2 are released. Methane and CO2 are greenhouse gases; greenhouse gases are gases that retain heat very well and release it slowly‚ thus causing the greenhouse effect. Methane and

Other major causes include deforestation‚ land-use changes‚ and chlorofluorcarbons (CFCs)—leading to a warmer atmosphere. Increasing amounts of evidence of natural disasters are becoming more frequent‚ as a result of the higher temperatures. Disasters include: floods‚ droughts‚ melting glaciers and deteriorating health.

Lit 18 Sept. 2009 Setting and Atmosphere In Kate Chopin’s “Desiree’s Baby”‚ she describes the tragic tale of Desiree and her baby from life to death. She uses powerful imagery and symbolism to create a dark and heavy atmosphere in attempt to evoke powerful emotion from the reader. Chopin does a formidable job as she uses descriptive imagery to lay a foundation for the atmosphere to build off of. Several points in the story where she effectively creates this atmosphere would be when she brings in the

study of the waxing and waning of these ice sheets as one aspect of global climatic change‚ they were able to point out other reasons for our planet’s change in climate. First is because of the lowing level of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Carbon dioxide or CO2 is a greenhouse gas that acts as a thermal blanket which keeps our planet’s surface warm. Before‚ they said‚ Earth’s temperature was much warmer. But because CO2 levels were lowering‚ it got cooler and cooler. And the drop

effect is an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that results in more heat being retained and an overall warming of the Earth’s temperature. Although they make up a small percentage of atmospheric gases‚ changes in the concentration of greenhouse gases have a huge effect on the balance of natural processes. Burning fossil fuels - coal‚ oil and natural gas - releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Cutting down and burning trees also produce a

effects like greenhouse effect‚ acid rain and ozone layer depletion. One of the effects of air pollution is greenhouse effect. Greenhouse effect means the phenomenon whereby carbon dioxide traps solar radiation in the earth’s atmosphere. As the heat is trapped in the atmosphere‚ the temperature is rising and caused the global warming. With the occurrence of global warming‚ the icebergs at the North Pole and South Pole will melt. This situation brings about the extinct of animals such as polar bears
