What is Air Pollution? Air Pollution is the introduction of chemicals‚ particulate matter‚ or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms‚ or damages the natural environment into the atmosphere. What is Atmosphere? The atmosphere is the complex dynamic natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet Earth. Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earth’s

resources are limited‚ and Earth has a tremendous number of consumers. 3. Geographers observe two major misuses of resources: We deplete scarce resources‚ especially petroleum‚ natural gas‚ and coal‚ for energy production. We destroy resources through pollution of air‚ water‚ and soil. 4. Two kinds of natural resources are especially valuable to human’s minerals and energy resources. 5. Historically‚ people relied primarily on power supplied by themselves or by animals‚ known as animate

Define the Issue Natural Gas is a good‚ clean source of energy for many uses. It does not pollute the atmosphere and is increasing in popularity. With fossil fuel sources depleting‚ natural gas is becoming more looked at as a new main energy source. There is a large quantity of natural gas held within the layers of shale underground and only recently new technology was developed that can release the gas from the shale in a process called fracking. Geographic Trends In the past people have

vulnerabilities? - One of the major strengths of Gazprom is ownership of large reserves of natural gas‚ though this is something that is not sustainable. Its monopoly ownership of major network of pipelines (UGSS of Russia) was a major advantage‚ providing Gazprom virtual control over the domestic transmission system in Russia. This removed any danger of competition from domestic oil producers who also had the ability to produce gas from their operations. The other obvious strength was close ties with the government
