God made a layer of protection called “ozone”. This ozone‚ is made from oxygen. Normally‚ molecules of oxygen in the atmosphere have two atoms of oxygen; however; the ozone’s molecules have three atoms of oxygen! Absorbing the ultraviolet light‚ the ozone made protects us. Although the ozone may protect us‚ it it poisonous. Thankfully it has been placed ten miles above the earth’s surface‚ where it can absorb and filter out light without messing the earth up. So‚ overall‚ the ozone is perfect. It

Reaction Paper: An Inconvenient Truth Al Gore as the host of the movie “An Inconvenient Truth”. Al Gore explained how the atmosphere works. Sun rays trapped in the earth by the ozone layer which results the earth to become hotter. The increase of Carbon Dioxide is making the ozone layer thicker causing to trap more sun rays. Because of this‚ there is a big change in temperature and the ices in North Pole are now melting which is very dangerous. Al Gore also shows the possible environment

It could also produce more carbon‚ destroying our ozone layer and letting in harmful rays would have to try to cope the changes or in other words‚ adapt to the environment and die. Industrial farming is a human activity that contributes to global warming. Industrial farming is where animals and plants are

Nowadays‚ as much as our environment is concerned‚ much efforts were already made to de-escalate its destruction. Good in the news update that the ozone layer is now thickening and has stopped from further depletion with respect to the endeavours and cooperation to the multinational agreement Venna Convention on the Protection of the Ozone Layer. What’s ironic is that while efforts to protect the environment are raised to the international level‚ personal level environmental values and behaviors

1 COMPONENTS AND SUBCOMPONENTS OF ENVIRONMENT 1.1 CLASSIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENT The term Environment can be broadly defined as one’s surroundings. To be more specific we can say that it is the physical and biological habitat that surrounds us‚ which can be felt by our physical faculties (seen‚ heard‚ touched‚ smelled and tasted.) The two major classifications of environment are : (A) (B) Physical Environment: External physical factors like Air‚ Water‚ and Land etc. This is also called the Abiotic

[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

low-lying coastal towns and cities. Ozone Depletion Ozone Layer is formed when ultraviolet radiation (UV) splits a molecule of oxygen (O₂)‚ and the free oxygen atoms (O) combine with other oxygen molecules. Ozone acts as a filter in the upper atmosphere‚ preventing the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun from reaching the earth. Carbon compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)‚ nitrogen oxides (NO)‚ and methane break up Ozone molecules. Acid Rain Sulfur and

Atmosphere Evolution on Rocky Planets Atmosphere can be defined as a gaseous compound layer surrounding a large body mass suspended by means of gravity and centrifugal force caused by rotation [1]. Atmospheres of planets have not always been the same‚ its evolution comprised of complex development across million years of geologic time affected by various changes of variables inside and outside its planet [2]. Of the interest of this essay is the atmospheric evolution of a rocky planet. Rocky planet
