the organisms were buried under layer of sediments and the CO2 became “locked up” in carbonate rocks. 3) Green plants evolve over most of the Earth. 4) Green plants removed CO2 from the air and produced O2 by photosynthesis. (oxygen level increased) Phase 3 – Ozone layer allows evolution of complex animals. 1) The built-up of oxygen in the atmosphere allowed more complex organisms to evolve and flourish. 2) The oxygen also created the ozone layer (O3) which blocked harmful rays from

Warming happens naturally however because of the human race we have increased how fast it’s happening. There have been many meetings with other nations to control the amount of carbon-dioxide released. Along with the release of CFC’s that hurt our ozone. The Ozone deflects 99% of the UV rays which cause a variety of disease. We all know that it is bad but because most people don’t know what to do to help their environment. Well it’s the simple things like recycling and reducing your carbon-foot print.

various methods. One of which is weathering. Chemical weathering of rock releases soluble such as salts of sodium‚ potassium‚ and sulfur. 2. What are the three major layers (zones) found in the ocean? Describe each layer briefly. The three layers of the ocean are the surface layer‚ the thermocline‚ and the deep zone. The surface layer goes up to 100 meters deep and consists of low density‚ warm water. In the thermocline temperatures decrease rapidly as it extends to depths of 1500 meters. The deep

People who develop healthy lifestyles including eating healthy‚ exercising‚ and learning about environmental sustainability would contribute more to decreasing pollution‚ climate change‚ and depletion of the ozone layer. “Essential items on both the research and policy agendas concerning sustainability are the resource intensity of

lights heat and energy in but doesn’t let that same heat energy out. Nitrogen oxide is a harmful gas that is extremely harmful for not only humanity but earth as well. Nitrogen oxide effects both the ozone layer and on our global warming problem. Once the nitrogen oxide has made its way into the ozone layer‚ the atmosphere slowly decreases into the stratosphere where the shorter wave length UV rays destroy the nitrogen oxide. Carbon dioxide is a supplement to global warming by consuming energy and heat

A Future Underwater Will humans evolve to live in the ocean? Our hypothesis is that over the course of millions of years‚ the ozone layer will develop more holes until it is completely destroyed‚ the Earth’s overall temperature will raise and all of the ice in the world—polar ice caps‚ glaciers‚ etc.—will melt‚ causing the ocean to rise to the point where only the tallest mountains still stand above water. To keep the species alive‚ humans will have to live in the ocean and develop gills and other

detrimental to our health‚ it is important that we protect ourselves. UVC contains the highest amount of energy and a bigger wavelength. When the uv rays enters earth’s ozone‚ UVC does not reach the earth’s surface because of the ozone layer‚ the UVC bonds are broken up due to its oxygen particles breaking down when in contact with the ozone.

in its place making it impossible for anything to grow there. Those trees were a crucial part to the ecosystem and environment‚ which are now changed forever. We also drive cars‚ which emit exhaust‚ which in turn hurts our ozone layer and heats up the Earth. Once the ozone layer is damaged the ice caps melt a little and now the entire environment is changed‚ all thanks to man. Not to mention that biomes are changed as well due to global warming; the ice caps melt a little and the world gets hotter

Pollution is the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment. It is a major problem in America and as well as the world. Pollution not only damages the environment‚ but damages us also. It has cause many problems ranging from lung cancer to the greenhouse effect. It is among us all‚ but we continue to live our lives in our own filth. What is the reason behind this flawed logic? In this paper I will examine the problems and solutions for this issue. Automobiles are undeniable

The most important components of seawater that influence life forms are salinity‚ temperature‚ dissolved gases‚ nutrients‚ and pH. What are the three major layers (zones) found in the ocean? Describe each layer briefly. The ocean is divided into three zones based on the amount of sunlight they get. The three zones are sunlit also known as euphotic Zoë this one is at the surface and gets enough sunlight to support photosynthesis.
