Humans have had a large impact on the earth’s atmosphere. Global warming has been one of the atmospheres biggest problems‚ with pollution surrounding us heat is having trouble escaping back to space leaving it all with us.

Today‚ scientist argue over the consequences of global warming. Scientist say that the heating of the atmosphere can influence many health problems. Some of the related problems due to global warming are death to heat waves and other climate changes‚ and infectious diseases. With the atmosphere temperature rising‚ we all will be at risk. The climate not only harms our bodies‚ it can also harm our crops and waters. Floods and droughts associated with global warming can undermine our health

1. Fortunately Water Now we all know that Earth rains water right? The water from lakes‚ oceans‚ or any body of water evaporates and then that makes clouds and so on eventually ending in water falling from the sky known as water. The Water Cycle is what it’s called if you remember fifth grade science at all‚ but what do other planets rain? The answer might be quite interesting and might even scare you. 2. Unfortunately(?)

process we must first gain a through understanding of the makeup of our own planet‚ Earth. We begin by identifying two types of families of planets‚ rocky terrestrials and gaseous jovians. The latter planet made of gas with no solid surface. The atmospheres of these gaseous giants show a thicker density as you move closer to the core. However‚ unlike Earth’s rocky surface a gaseous jovian cannot be stood on. The four gaseous jovians in our solar system are Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Neptune‚ and Uranus. Rocky

temperature of the Earth ’s atmosphere. This is caused by the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ methane‚ and nitrous oxide) trap heat and light from the sun inside the Earth’s atmosphere. Sunlight shines onto the Earth ’s surface‚ where it is absorbed and then radiates back into the atmosphere as heat. The greenhouse gases trap some of the heat and the rest escapes back into space. But the more gases in the atmosphere results in more heat trapped

Ozone‚ pronounced OH-Zohn‚ is a form of oxygen that is present in the earth’s atmosphere in small amounts. Ozone in the upper atmosphere is a major factor in making life on earth possible. But ozone in the lower atmosphere contributes to air pollution. Society has been widely addressed with the many problems that we are having in our environment today. A major problem is that of CFCs. CFC stands for Chlorofluorocarbons which are found in many of the aerosol spray cans. In December of

In todays world‚ Everyone uses some form of transportation. Whether it be a luxury jet or a bicycle‚ These means of transportation out do anything the people in the past could have even dreamed of. Some of these ways of transportation are good and some are not so good. Generally‚ our new ways of transportation opened up so many opportunities in our lives that we are blinded by the bad things that come along with it. For the most part‚ our advanced ways of transportation are positive. Cars and buses
