Acid Rains There are three gases which could cause acid rain‚ which are Sulphur Dioxide (sulphuric acid)‚ NOx (oxides of nitrogen which produce nitric acid) and also perhaps Carbon Dioxide (weak carbonic acid)‚ produces these acids because these gases dissolve in rain water/ precipitation and this forms a weak version of the acid‚ as the gases dissolve it lowers the pH of the rainwater. I think that there has been a increase in the production of acid rain‚ due to the fact that the country as a

economical energy to use as a source to heat and cool their homes‚ drive their vehicles‚ use electric or whatever they do to use energy. Scientists are busy thinking up a variety of ways of producing renewable energy to replace the use of non-renewable energy. Fuel that has taken millions of years to create from the decomposition of the plant and animal matter is known as fossil fuel. What we call oil‚ coal and natural gases are fossil fuels and they are made up of hydrocarbons. When hydrocarbons

gases from fossil fuels play a huge role in why our environment is changing so rapidly. With projections of an increase between 2.5 and 10.5 degrees by the year 2100‚ it is really nothing to take lightly. According to some scientific studies‚ the main gas causing global warming‚ CO2‚ or carbon dioxide‚ has increased in our atmosphere by as much as 30 percent over the last 100 years. That is a significant increase to say the least. Global warming refers to an increase in the Earth’s average surface

Yet polluters and their allies in Congress have been fighting efforts to reduce toxic industrial pollution and are trying to weaken existing clean air protections. That’s why NRDC has joined other public health‚ advocacy and environmental organizations in the "Clean Air Promise‚" a national campaign to protect the health of

Energy Resources and their Uses in Producing Electricity Renewable energy is energy drawn from natural processes that are restored quicker than they are used up‚ some renewable energy resources are biomass‚ food‚ wind‚ waves‚ flowing water‚ solar and geothermal. The sun however‚ is known to be the ultimate energy resource since almost all energy resources originate from the sun’s energy. This is possible according to the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can’t be destroyed

pollutant that warms our planet Earth. Living things produce carbon dioxide when they breathe. However‚ carbon dioxide is considered to be a harmful pollutant when linked with any vehicle‚ trains‚ power plants‚ as well as other various human activities that involve burning fossil fuels such as gasoline and natural gas. Studies have shown that In the past 150 years‚ such activities have released enough carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to raise its levels higher than they have ever been before.

The primary objective of this report is to give a few reasons as to what causes prices of oil and prices of gas to rise. Among these reasons‚ speculation of things that may or may not happen‚ like a terrorist strike‚ is one of the leading factors. Another reason for the continued rise in prices of oil and gas is the constant growth

seriously. “Coal‚ oil and natural gas are called fossil fuels because of the way that they were formed‚ the end products of photosynthesis that formed millions of years ago in large deposits of carbon compounds” (Berg & Hager‚ 2007 p. 7 & 105). Fossil fuels are also referred to as nonrenewable energy sources because natural processes do not replenish these sources within a reasonable period of time in which to be reused‚ they take millions of years to form. Coal and natural gas are most widely used

crude oil‚ and other fossil fuels. These things are called natural resources because they are not made by people; rather they are gathered from nature. Sunlight and wind are also natural resources. We use all these things to survive or satisfy our needs. The Philippines is considered rich in natural resources. We have fertile‚ arable lands‚ high diversity of plant and animals‚ extensive coastlines‚ and rich mineral deposits. We have natural gas‚ coal‚ and geothermal energy.
