that‚ that are visible. So the power going into the light bulb that is producing non-visible light is wasted. It is wasting energy that way‚ so regular incandescent bulbs are inefficient. 2) In this problem we will explore the greenhouse effect by using the Greenhouse Effect Simulation available from http://phet.colorado.edu/simulations/sims.php?sim=The_Greenhouse_Effect a) Explore the simulation.

The composition of air are nitrogen‚ oxygen‚ inert gases and others and carbon dioxide. There are few major air pollutants such as carbon monoxide‚ sulphur oxides‚ hydrocarbons and photochemical oxidants. The major effects of air pollutions are greenhouse effect‚ ozone depletion and also acid rain. All these occur when there are harmful substances in the air. Composition of air OBJECTIVES The objectives for

Warming Outline Thesis: How is global warming and greenhouse gases affecting our environment? I. What is global warming? A.) Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. II. What is the greenhouse effect? A.)T he greenhouse effect is when the temperature rises because the

Climate change and global warming have been increasing due to the carbon dioxide Greenhouse effect‚ including the degradation of the ozone layer and the burning of fossil fuels‚ such as coal and oil. Climate change is caused by factors that include oceanic processes‚ biotic processes‚ variations in solar radiation presumed via

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS BIODIVERSITY LOSS Biodiversity - refers to the number and size of populations in a community; variability of species in an area In general‚ there are three categorical levels of biodiversity: 1. Genetic biodiversity - involves populations‚ individuals‚ chromosomes‚ genes and nucleotides 2. Taxonomic biodiversity - include kingdoms‚ phyla‚ orders‚ families‚ genera‚ species‚ subspecies and populations - for practical reasons‚

Question One Children learn best by observing the behaviour of adults and copying it. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. To gain new experiences and transforming the existing information is the one of the process of learning. It’s easy to carry for the children to learn because it’s obtained from the parents due to repeated observational learning. Children will appreciate what their parents did without judging them because they are the best role

Lesson II – Effects of Deforestation Deforestation is the removal or destruction of large areas of forest or rainforest. Deforestation happens for many reasons‚ such as logging‚ agriculture‚ natural disasters‚ urbanization and mining. There are several ways to clear forest -- burning and clear-cutting the land are two methods. Although deforestation occurs worldwide‚ it’s a particularly critical issue in the Amazon rainforests of Brazil. There‚ the tropical forests‚ and the species of plants and

Climate Change Essay I claim that human activities‚ like emitting greenhouse gases‚ are causing global warming. Some scientists have decided that we‚ through the greenhouse effect‚ are causing global warming by burning oil‚ gas‚ and coal. The greenhouse effect helps to keep the Earth hot enough that it can sustain human life. Sunlight come down through the atmosphere‚ and then clouds reflect some of it off and back into space. Most of it is used to warm the planet. When the ground is warmed‚ the
