effect is an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that results in more heat being retained and an overall warming of the Earth’s temperature. Although they make up a small percentage of atmospheric gases‚ changes in the concentration of greenhouse gases have a huge effect on the balance of natural processes. Burning fossil fuels - coal‚ oil and natural gas - releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Cutting down and burning trees also produce a

effects like greenhouse effect‚ acid rain and ozone layer depletion. One of the effects of air pollution is greenhouse effect. Greenhouse effect means the phenomenon whereby carbon dioxide traps solar radiation in the earth’s atmosphere. As the heat is trapped in the atmosphere‚ the temperature is rising and caused the global warming. With the occurrence of global warming‚ the icebergs at the North Pole and South Pole will melt. This situation brings about the extinct of animals such as polar bears

The storm was nearly 400 miles wide‚ with the highest recorded wind gust at 104 mph. Overall damages were estimated in the $1.0 billion dollar range‚ and three deaths were attributed to the Category 3 storm. Copyright © 2005 by The McGraw-Hill

know what climate change is‚ it is a change in the world’s climate. A lot of people think weather and climate is the same thing but it is not. The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time. Climate is what the conditions are over relatively long periods of time. My belief of the issue is that climate change is man-made. I think everyone has heard of global warming or an ice age‚ but does anyone

is entirely different from life at home. Many parents prefer to send their children to hostel so that they are away from homely pleasure and learn to live and grow on their own. Hostel life provides the most ideal atmosphere for study. The students get more time and suitable atmosphere to do their studies‚ to get help or guidance for anything from their class-fellows and morever‚ from seniors who are living close by. Even a careless or negligent student starts working hard when he sees his room mate

Its size and structure are similar to Earth‚ Venus’ thick‚ toxic atmosphere traps heat in a runaway "greenhouse effect.

year millions of people of all over the world die due to direct or indirect effects of air pollution. 3. Acid Rain: Acid raining is another effects of air pollution. Harmful gases like nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides are released into the atmosphere during the burning of fossil fuels. When it rains‚ the water droplets combines with these air pollutants‚ becomes acidic and then falls on the ground in the form of acid rain. Acid rain can cause great damage to human‚ animals and crops. 4. Depletion

Exosphere- The outermost region of a planet’s atmosphere. Ionosphere- The layer of the earth’s atmosphere that contains a high concentration of ions and free electrons and is able to reflect radio waves. It lies above the mesosphere and extends from about 50 to 600 miles (80 to 1‚000 km) above the earth’s surface. Thermosphere- The region of the atmosphere above the mesosphere and below the height at which the atmosphere ceases to have the properties of a continuous medium. The thermosphere is
