Sea level Global warming is effecting the Bahamas by raising the sea levels of the ocean‚ which will cause there to be less land that actually makes up the Bahamas. This can actually make all of the Bahamas a smaller country because more land is being put under water to the rising sea level‚ Warmer ocean temperatures are also now understood to cause coral bleaching. Rising levels of carbon dioxide (greenhouse gas emissions) are also decreasing the pH level of the ocean‚ known as ocean acidification

The greenhouse gases and the resulting greenhouse effect are important. If the greenhouse gases were not present in the atmosphere‚ our Earth would be an icebox. We would have climate similar to that in Mars. The average temperature on Earth would have been about -18 degrees Celsius‚ which is below the freezing point of water. If this was the Earth’s temperature‚ there would hardly be any liquid water on Earth and life as known today would not be possible. Therefore the greenhouse effect is important

Country Where is the best place to raise a child‚ in the city or in the country? I would rather live and raise my family in the country‚ because of the clean environment‚ peaceful atmosphere‚ and smaller schools. My primary reason for choosing the country instead of the city is the clean environment. The air smells fresh and clean‚ because there are less cars creating pollution. In the city‚ there are busses‚ taxis‚ and cars on all the streets contributing harmful chemicals into the air. While

Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans‚ a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. Even though it is an ongoing debate‚ it is proved by the scientists that the planet is warming. The 29th century is experiencing a continued increase of Earth’s mean atmospheric temperature by about 1.4 degrees F and about two thirds of it occurring since 1980. This is global warming is affecting

as the green house effect‚ is a topic that has received much attention‚ in recent years; yet our Climate change is not a recent problem. Every year‚ almost 7 billion tons of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere by human activity. Global warming is in the earth’s upper atmosphere directly caused by human burning of fossil‚ fuels‚ industrial‚ farming‚ and deforestation. Every year we see natural disasters that are extremely powerful. For example‚ In April of 2011‚ the country of Japan was

increase all over the world. These dramatic changes are due to an increase in carbon dioxide gases that are being emitted into the earth’s atmosphere. This increase in gases in turn causes an increase in the greenhouse effect and therefore an increase in temperatures. Every year humans add twenty five billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by driving petrol cars and burying refuse that emits carbon dioxide as it decomposes. Scientists reported in December 2012 that the latest

According to a professor at Rice University‚ the weathering of Earth by glaciers over many eons could have sped up the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The study conducted by Mark Torres‚ an assistant professor of Earth‚ environmental‚ and planetary sciences shows that a process called glaciation most likely increased the amount of carbon dioxide being released into our environment. The team of researchers also discovered that magnified pyrite (commonly known as fool’s gold) oxidation

in the atmosphere. Some of them get reflected back into space. The ones which get through the atmosphere warm the earth up. All the time‚ the earth radiates heat into space‚ which cools it down. We only really notice this at night‚ when there is no heating from the sun. Some of the heat going out is trapped by the atmosphere. This is what makes our planet warm enough to live on. But if too much heat is trapped‚ our planet will warm up and the climate will change. What is the atmosphere and why
