For example‚ the atmosphere forms and destroys the ozone‚ the ozone can have an effect on the human body and the article also provided information on what we could do about the ozone layer to help the atmosphere. I had a little bit of information in my mind about the atmosphere destroying the ozone‚ but I never knew that the atmosphere also forms it. This fact made me question why the ozone layer is becoming more and more dangerous to human life if the atmosphere not only destroys but also

Among air pollutants emitted by natural sources‚ only the radioactive gas radon is recognized as a major health threat. A byproduct of the radioactive decay of uranium minerals in certain kinds

Earth contains many things that allows us to live. How was the Earth formed and why do we live in it is a question many of us would like to find out‚ but there are many answers to these questions and we cannot come up with a conclusion. The theory that is said to explain the formation of our earth is called the Big Bang

as oceans‚ precipitations‚ and clouds (Slaght‚ 2009‚ p34-41). Out of the two main causes of climatic alterations‚ natural cause is one of them. It refers to phenomenon such as forest fires‚ volcanic eruptions that cause tons of pollutants to our atmosphere‚ but also keeps the world in balance. For example‚ disasters such as volcano eruptions release at least 130 million tons of pollutants annually. Moreover‚ studies from the recent volcanic eruptions such as El Chichon‚ Mexico (1982)‚ and Mount Pinatubo

Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted on a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the atmosphere of Earth (or that of another planet). In most circumstances atmospheric pressure is closely approximated by the hydrostatic pressure caused by the mass of air above the measurement point. Low-pressure areas have less atmospheric mass above their location‚ whereas high-pressure areas have more atmospheric mass above their location. Likewise‚ as elevation increases‚ there is

These are all ways humans interact with the atmosphere. There are many other ways humans can interact with the atmosphere but I will talk mainly about how human interaction is creating holes in the ozone‚ how we have created the enhanced greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming. The ozone

Global Warming; Cause And Effect Global Warming Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go a whole winter without even seeing snow? Well the way the atmosphere is heating up today you just might experience this kind of event in the future I chose to do my cause and effect paper on global warming because I believe it has a major impact on humans‚ not only today‚ but especially in the future.

(a cloud that protects us from harmful sun rays. But it’s just a cloud. The gases that came from human creations like sprays and cars started “attacking” to the cloud and that was so fragile that it opened allowing some harmful sun rays enter our atmosphere.) So the responders were answering that the reasons for global warming are the use of car‚ emissions from industrial processes and pollution. And of course most of the solutions that they were proposing were things like “we have to focus on controlling

for global warming. We could not live without the greenhouse effect. The main gases are ozone‚ nitrous oxide‚ carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ and water vapor. These reflected rays‚ called infrared radiation ‚ keeps the atmosphere warm. They are vital in maintaining the balance in our atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is mostly a result of the sunlight’s energy and the clouds that absorb and reflect heat. Without the greenhouse effect‚ earth would be less than 33 degrees Celsius cooler.

surface and the lower atmosphere‚ it results in an elevation of the average surface temperature above what it would be in the absence of the gases.[1][2] Solar radiation at the frequencies of visible light largely passes through the atmosphere to warm the planetary surface‚ which then emits this energy at the lower frequencies of infrared thermal radiation. Infrared radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases‚ which in turn re-radiate much of the energy to the surface and lower atmosphere. The mechanism
