BRETT LUCAS TRINITY COLLEGE L6 SCIENCE GEOGRAPHY CLIMATE CHANGE: NATURE OR NEGLIGENCE The climate of our world is changing‚ but why? There is a great debate going on in the scientific community on whether our current climate change crisis is a natural occurrence over millions of years – as what has happened on the planet of Mars – or this natural process is being accelerated by man’s negligence. But first we must establish what is climate change? Climate Change is a long-term shift in the

Causes of Climate Change Climate change is a long-term shift in weather conditions identified by changes in temperature‚ precipitation‚ winds‚ and other indicators. Climate change can involve both changes in average conditions and changes in variability‚ including‚ for example‚ extreme events. The earth’s climate is naturally variable on all time scales. However‚ its long-term state and average temperature are regulated by the balance between incoming and outgoing energy‚ which determines the Earth’s
Free Earth Climate change Greenhouse gas
The earth-atmosphere system maintains equilibrium through the absorption of solar radiation and the re-radiation of that energy back to space as infrared or longwave radiation. This process establishes the temperature balance of the sea/surface on Earth. Radiated energy does not‚ however‚ have unhindered access to and from space. The atmosphere surrounding the earth also carries the ability to absorb radiation‚ and since the atmosphere has a lower temperature than the surface‚ it absorbs more energy

fluorinated gases like chlorofluorocarbons‚ hydrochlorofluorocarbons‚ and halons. These gasses can take anywhere from a few years to thousands of years to dissipate in the atmosphere. Once released; these gasses act as insulators or blankets that trap these gasses in out atmosphere preventing heat from escaping the atmosphere and forcing temperatures to rise‚ but it doesn’t stop here. As temperatures rise‚ our polar ice caps at both of the poles have lost a significant amount of their mass; this

It was a little different than the first one though. The atmosphere was not as great on the outside of the room we were in but the inside of the rooms atmosphere was way better than the first one. When it came to the tone though I would say the tone was better in this interview. This was because we started off laughing but also both the client and myself knew

right… …for the moment‚ anyway. A number of greenhouse gases occur naturally in the Earth’s atmosphere •Water vapor •Carbon dioxide •Methane •Nitrous oxide With no greenhouse gases at all in its atmosphere‚ scientists estimate that Earth’s average atmospheric temperature would be about -18° C‚ or about 0°F http://plaza.ufl.edu/knhuang/project2/cause.html The greenhouse gas content of the atmosphere is being altered by human activity. The result of this change is global warming. Evidence of

Abstract Why is Earth the only planet in our solar system capable of sustaining life? Why is Earth the only planet in the solar system that has plentiful liquid water and an atmosphere that can protect the planet from the harmful ultra-violet rays of the Sun? What makes Earth so special? These are some of the questions that will be explored in greater detail as we use Comparative Planetology to understand what makes Earth a habitat for life and what makes it so different from the other planets

or 4‚878 kilometres. Mercury’s average orbital speed is 48 km/s. Its orbit of the Sun lasts for only 87.96 days. Mercury only turns very slowly on its axis‚ taking 58.64 days to complete the turn from day to night. Mercury has an extremely thin atmosphere around it to protect it from the Sun or to retain any heat when it rotates on its axis. The side facing the sun may reach temperatures of 400° Celsius or 750° Fahrenheit and the side facing away from the sun may drop to -200° Celsius or -328° Fahrenheit
