However‚ human activities including burning fossil fuels for energy‚ land clearing and agriculture have increased the quantity of greenhouse gases emitted into the earth atmosphere during the past century. As a result an increase in the planet’s average temperature has been recorded. Climate change has the potential to adversely affect

over a long period of time. Weather is defined as the state of the atmosphere at that specific time and location. Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere and its motions‚ especially on the shorter time scale known as “weather”. Meteorologists study the similarities and differences of climate and weather to help understand the bigger picture‚ which is meteorology. The study of weather helps us understand why our small-scale atmosphere is affected by interactions among the earth’s land and water surfaces

The second way is by the chemical being re-introduced into the environment through natural processes like evaporation or precipitation to which follow the first way it is released.

But ozone is also the main ingredient of smog‚ and causes serious health effects and forest and crop damage in the lower atmosphere. Ozone is formed through the chemical reaction of volatile organic compounds and nitrogen dioxide‚ in the atmosphere‚ in the presence of sunlight. This reaction is called a photochemical reaction‚ because sunlight is

Greenhouse effect is “the global warming of our atmosphere caused by the presence of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases‚ which trap the sun ’s radiation.”(Turk & Bensel‚ 2011‚ sec 7.1). The Greenhouse gases are the main culprits of the global warming‚ and they are projected to keep going up.
