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

human health; however‚ the rise in population on the planet causes an interaction between nature and humans which in the end results in environmental issues increasing on a global scale. Population is determined by the relationship of two factors. One being birth rate and the other is death rate. If the number of deaths is less than the number of births then the population is growing larger. In John Laffin’s novel The Hunger to Come data is present showing that the population will continue

This year’s ozone hole over the South Pole is one of the worst‚ despite scientists only a year ago saying it had shrunk to its smallest size. By September 12 the hole above Antarctica was 26 million square kilometres‚ Nasa and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said. The hole – which grows each spring and then shrinks again each year – was among the 10 worst since records began 26 years ago. Colder-than-average temperatures in the stratosphere had caused the larger-than-average
