We really should be aware about this and be more thoughtful on this subject‚ we do not reason on what happened and we are more neglected throwing garbage and not taking care of the environment. Global Warming The average temperature of Earth has been warming up since 1840‚ coinciding with the start of the industrial revolution. However‚ we can not establish a cause and effect relations‚ because the atmosphere does not react so quickly. During

In the particular case of climate change‚ the international community has committed itself‚ through the Framework Convention on Climate Change (signed in Rio in 1994 and ratified by 150 nations‚ including the United States)‚ to “stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic

Colonizing the Red Planet As humans we are very curious. We have explored and conquered all around Planet Earth. It’s only been a matter of time before we move onto bigger and better things. Mars may seem like it is too far away or too complicated to try and accomplish‚ but with the technology changing every day we are closer than ever to reach the red planet. Colonizing Mars can happen if we get water‚ learn how to grow food‚ obtain oxygen‚ and get the materials needed survive. Mars‚ otherwise know

ATMOSPHERE – OCEAN INTERACTIONS :: LECTURE NOTES 1. Introduction to the Atmosphere and Ocean J. S. Wright jswright@tsinghua.edu.cn 1.1 O VERVIEW This chapter outlines the main features of the atmosphere–ocean system and motivates the deeper examination to follow. The character of coupled atmosphere–ocean interactions is briefly introduced. Simple energy balance models are derived and used to illustrate the fundamental mechanisms behind variations of temperature with altitude

that everything in Earth’s system can be placed into one of four major classifications: land‚ water‚ living things‚ or air. These four categories are actually called "spheres." There is the lithosphere‚ which is the land‚ hydrosphere for the water‚ atmosphere meaning the air‚ and lastly‚ the biosphere‚ which is life. These four spheres are all dependent on each other making our entire world connect. Life’s most significant source is water‚ which is why it takes up most of earth’s percentage. This

Earth Surface Atmosphere The atmosphere is the vast gaseous envelope of air that surrounds the Earth. Its boundaries are not easily defined. The atmosphere contains a complex system of gases and suspended particles that behave in many ways like fluids. Many of its constituents are derived from the Earth by way of chemical and biochemical
