Mangroves Mangroves are various types of trees up to medium height and shrubs that grow in saline coastal sediment habitats in the tropics and subtropics – mainly between latitudes 25° N and 25° S. Importance of Mangroves a. Buffer Zone between the land and sea. b. Protect the land from erosion. c. Play an invaluable role as nature’s shield against cyclones‚ ecological disasters and as protector of shorelines. d. Breeding and nursery grounds for a variety of marine animals

Are Humans the cause of Global Warming? How do we know global warming is caused by humans? Can global warming just be a natural cycle for earth? Global warming is a major problem in the world today. Having a hole in the ozone layer isn’t quite beneficial for humans no matter what the cause. Global warming is an increase in the earth’s average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may be resulted from the greenhouse effect. The global average surface temperature

The Montreal Protocol was an agreement of 46 sovereign states to reduce the production of ozone-harming byproducts and protect the Earth’s natural ozone layer (UNEP). The agreement forced manufacturers to halt the production of goods created with chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)‚ an extremely damaging chemical vastly used at the time. Since its initial reception‚ the Montreal Protocol

[pic]! [pic] ‘I’ll go out for a breath of fresh air’ is an often-heard phrase. But how many of us realize that this has become irrelevant in today’s world‚ because the quality of air in our cities is anything but fresh. The moment you step out of the house and are on the road you can actually see the air getting polluted; a cloud of smoke from the exhaust of a bus‚ car‚ or a scooter; smoke billowing from a factory chimney‚ flyash generated by thermal power plants‚ and speeding cars causing dust

Ozone depletion‚ greenhouse effect‚ and acid rain are man-made disasters. The ozone layer is the part of the Earth’s atmosphere which contains relatively high concentrations of ozone (O3). The cause of ozone depletion is the presence of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and related halocarbons gases in the atmosphere. In the presence of Ultraviolet light‚ these gases dissociate‚ releasing chlorine atoms‚ which then go on to catalyze ozone destruction. The greenhouse effect‚ on the other hand‚ is a natural

Elizabeth Reel Environmental Science SCI204 Section G Spring 2007 A Janice Webster Subject: Emission Testing April 22‚ 2007 Introduction With this paper I hope to gain a better understanding of emission pollution and the emission testing process. With my research and my visit to the local Clean Air Car Check site‚ I have compiled information that will prove valuable. I will define emission pollution and the major contributors. I will answer the why we have to emission test. I will

altitudes‚ some of us find it difficult to breathe. Above the troposphere is the stratosphere. This zone is rich in ozone. Hence‚ it is also called ozonosphere. In ozonosphere‚ the sunlight converts oxygen to ozone by photochemical dissolution. The ozonosphere completely absorbs short wave solar radiations‚ such as ultraviolet (uv) radiations‚ x-rays‚ gamma rays etc. from the Sun. Oxygen and ozone of stratosphere provide protection from harmful solar radiation. It protects us from the bad effects of ultraviolet
