Okefenokee Swamp Swamps can be seen in various perspectives and can convey different atmospheres associated with the respective swamp. The two passages on the Okefenokee Swamp both convey two different atmospheres and tones for the swamp‚ almost as if it was two different swamps. The author use of diction‚ detail and figurative language conveys how the swamp in the first passage is more inviting and safe versus the swamp in the second passage which is displayed in a more malicious tone. The author’s

Nobel Prize-winning chemist Svante Arrhenius first proposed the idea of global warming in 1896. Carbon dioxide‚ he knew‚ traps heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. He also knew that burning coal and oil releases carbon dioxide (CO2). Arrhenius speculated that continued burning of coal and oil would increase concentrations of CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere‚ making the planet warmer. It’s called thegreenhouse effect. What warms the Earth? To determine what is causing today’s rapid global warming‚ scientists

past climate data‚ make future projections‚ and link causes and effects in climate change. In my opinion‚ I think “Climate Change” is caused by humans. Why? Because of what people do. In addition‚ if factories doesn’t produce too much smoke the atmosphere won’t be polluted. What happened? Companies still build factories for their products‚ I know that there is a good cause on why they build factories but there

in today’s world is the environment. There is dispute over what we should do about it. One issue in the environment is global warming. Global warming has become a problem around the world; it is caused by CO2 emissions and other gases in the atmosphere that cause the sun’s thermal energy to be absorbed‚ otherwise known as the greenhouse effect. Studies have shown that at least 20% of ice on Earth has melted since 1979. Although it may not sound so bad‚ every year we deplete the natural ice on

here on Earth is one year on Saturn. Saturn is the only planet in our solar system that is less dense then water. Saturn does not have a solid surface‚ it is liquid. Saturn ’s atmosphere it made up of a mixture of gasses that surround the planet. The storms on Saturn have very high winds. The winds in the upper atmosphere of Saturn are stronger and faster than our most powerful hurricane force winds here on Earth. These winds‚ along with the heat that rises from Saturn ’s interior‚ are what cause

observable evidence of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emission based global warming began in 1975. Most climate scientists agree the main cause of the current global warming trend is human expansion of the “greenhouse effect” warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from earth towards space.Yet the big question standing still is‚ is Global Warming real? Well here’s what you need to know about the warming planet‚ how it’s affecting us‚ and whats at stake. In recent years‚ global warming

Deforestation also drives climate change. Forest soils are moist‚ but without protection from sun-blocking tree cover they quickly dry out. Trees also help conserve the water cycle by returning water vapor back into the atmosphere. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Cutting down forests will cause a decline in photosynthetic activity which results in the

Air molecules push and press on the surfaces they contact. The amount of force per unit area that air molecules exert on a surface is called air pressure. (What is Air Pressure 6) Air pressure is caused by all of the air molecules in the Earth’s atmosphere pressing down on the Earth’s surfaces. We can measure air pressure to help us predict weather conditions around the world. Temperature also affects air pressure because air contracts when it cools and expands when it is heated. So if air above a
