1. Describe and give examples of the various ways that heat can be transported in the atmosphere. The primary source of Earths heat is the Sun.

The following summary is from Dr Hodges ’ research on the causes of air pollutions. Air pollutions are caused by a number of different types of pollutants. The first type‚ particulate matter‚ consists of solid and liquid aerosols suspended in the atmosphere. These arise from the burning of coal and from industrial processes. Atmospheric particles can scatter and absorb sunlight which reduces visibility. The second type is sulfur oxides which come from the burning of coal and industrial processes. Damage

Global warming is commonly referred to as an increase in the temperature of the lowest layers of Earth’s atmosphere. Global warming has occurred in the distant past as the result of natural influences‚ but the term is most often used to refer to the warming predicted to occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases. Primary greenhouse gases include water vapor‚ carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and ozone . Carbon dioxide‚ as well as other greenhouse gases‚ is a very important

less coal and oil in order to help reduce and hopefully eventually help to eliminate the human carbon footprint on our planet. Human carbon footprints are caused by the releases of carbon dioxide and another gas called methane gas into the earth’s atmosphere and it causes the earth to warm much faster than it has in past years. These faster rising temperatures of the earth have caused some very severe effects on the climate change and now the climate change is being observed around the world by not

leaves most of the salts behind‚ a surprising amount of salt does intrude itself into the atmosphere and rides along distances on the wind. The so called ’cyclic salt’ is picked up by the winds from the spray of a rough‚ cresting sea or breaking surf and is blown inland‚ then brought down in the rain and return by rivers to the ocean. These tiny‚ invisible particles of sea salt drifting in the atmosphere are‚ in fact‚ one of the many forms of atmospheric nuclei around which raindrops forms. Areas
