gases. The atmosphere is divided into four layers. The atmosphere also has a layer of ozone. The layers of the atmosphere listed from lowest altitude to highest altitude are the troposphere‚ stratosphere‚ mesosphere and thermosphere. The troposphere extends from the Earths surface up to about 14 kilometers in altitude. All human activities occur in the troposphere. The troposphere is the layer where all weather we experience takes place. It is a thin layer of the atmosphere. The warmest part of the

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was adopted in 1987 as an international treaty to eliminate the production and consumption of ozone-depleting chemicals. A subsequent amendment created the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol‚ becoming the first of the multilateral environmental agreements to establish a financial mechanism for implementation. The World Bank has developed a strong partnership with the Multilateral Fund (MLF) since its

Introduction: When air gets polluted with dust‚ smoke‚ motor vehicles‚ mills and factories etc. is called air pollution. We know that air is an important element of our environment. But it is a matter of great regret that it is being polluted day by day in different reasons. Causes of Air pollution: There are different kinds of reasons of air pollution. The causes of air pollution are described below. 1. Using poison in agriculture: In agricultural sectors‚ farmers often use insecticides

People are unaware of the damage that’s been done in our environment due to the deficient of recycling‚ we should recycle for various reasons; landfills are dangerous to our health‚ recycling saves money and the ozone layer is deteriorating. To begin with‚ landfills are treacherous to both our health and environment. Recycling can reduce the chances of trash being thrown into landfills and lessen both air and water pollution. Not all the waste that’s thrown away

ultraviolet radiation that strikes the sun is form the sun. The action of ultraviolet rays on oxygen in our atmosphere creates layer about 9 to 19miles above sea level. This ozone layer absorbs almost all of the shorter waves of UV rays that enter the earths atmosphere‚ and prevents it from doing any severe damage on the living organisms on earth. The fast depleting ozone player is a rising concern. UV radiation is known to be one of the leading causes of Skin cancer. UV rays from the sun and

every year. C02 is produced by many sources and is the gas responsible for Global warming and alarming changes in our climate. As we use our resources‚ the negative impact on our environment increases. The more C02 emitted in the air the more our ozone layer is affected. C02 is a natural gas and is always being emitted and absorbed to and from the air. There is a certain amount of carbon on the earth. But it’s constantly in a series of exchanges. When a tree goes into photosynthesis‚ it absorbs CO2

created in the 17th century from Greek ἀτμός [atmos] "vapor" and σφαῖρα [sphaira] "sphere") is a layer of gases that may surround a material body of sufficient mass and that is held in place by the gravity of the body. An atmosphere may be retained for a longer duration‚ if the gravity is high and the atmosphere’s temperature is low. Some planets consist mainly of various gases‚ but only their outer layer is their atmosphere.” Air is mainly composed of nitrogen‚ oxygen‚ and argon‚ which together constitute

In Isabella Gonzales’s creation 2 Cent Worth‚ she displays a jar‚ with the depositing of 2 pennies within it to convey the message of the ozone layer being roughly the thickness of two pennies and for us to contribute to the future of our earth’s well being. This same message was revealed in the composition of Jay Shree’s poem‚ “Nature & Preservation.” Although the poem goes into deeper thought
