precipitation. Acid precipitation Acid precipitation is precipitation‚ like rain‚ sleet‚ or snow‚ that contains acids from air pollution. When fossil fuels are burned‚ they let out oxides into the air. When these oxides mix with water in the atmosphere‚ they make acid‚ which fall as precipitation.[1] Acid precipitation can kill living things‚ like fish and trees‚ by making the place where they live too acidic. Acid rain can also damage buildings made of limestone and concrete. Ozone hole Other

EARTH SCIENCE B STUDY GUIDE My name Craig Belnap Semester Earth science B MODULE SIX QUESTION ANSWER 6.1 Coastal Pollution 1. What are the consequences of coastal pollution? Unsafe environment for humans and wildlife‚ it can also kill fish that many use as a source of income. 2. What are the sources of coastal pollution? Agricultural‚ municipal‚ and industrial run off. Oil spills and waste that is dumped directly into the ocean. 3. What sequence of events causes a dead zone? Fertilizers

Study of Environmental Issues Associated with Industrialization Although our industrial ways seem to be a very progressive step into the future‚ there are many flaws to the way many things are today. Things have definitely changed over the past century‚ as we can currently do things much more efficiently then before. The cost of this efficiency may seem inexpensive in many ways‚ however we do not realize that the cost of these new technologies do not just include money‚ time and labour‚ but

organisms on earth. In atmosphere‚ about 95% of the total air is present up to a height of 20 km above the earth’s surface. The remaining 5% of air is present up to a height of about 280 km. Air is a mixture of different gases; nitrogen and oxygen are the major components. Thus‚ total volume of air present in atmosphere consists of 78% nitrogen 21% oxygen and remaining 1% is made up of other gases such as argon‚ neon‚ helium‚ krypton‚ xenon and radon.

Harm to human health and animal life on earth: Air pollution on the human body and animals primarily via the respiratory tract as well as direct effects on the eyes and skin of the body. They cause diseases such as suffocation‚ acute pulmonary edema‚ a number of irritating contaminants for coughs‚ asthma‚ tuberculosis‚ lung cancer‚ causing bitter tears‚ cause allergies‚ itching on skin‚ urticaria‚ stone dust and asbestos dust causes lung .

The atmosphere during the moonlit night is surcharged with calmness and quietness‚ particularly in the countryside which is away from the clamour and noise of city. The plants and trees and whole atmosphere bathed in the cool light of the moon present an enchanting sight. Walking in such an atmosphere really fills with joy. It elevates our spirit. It invigorates us for better thinking and ideas. We are

From this time on‚ humanity has massively increased the gases that are sent to the atmosphere due to better life conditions‚ allowing people‚ from all over the world‚ to use certain new objects and energies that damage the suitability of planet Earth. In the last ten years we assisted to an increasingly global warming‚ meaning that temperature

Global warming is result of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases trap radiation from sun and hold them from being released back into space. This causes rise in temperature at few places on earth. It is not much noticeable in western part of earth but in eastern parts like North Pole‚ Alaska and others slight increase in temperatures makes a huge difference. Scientists believe that if current situation continues many kinds of changes will take place which can be either beneficial or harmful

carelessness. Global Warming is one of the natural disasters that we are facing today. Its effect is due to our carbon emissions (greenhouse gases) from industries. These greenhouse gases are trapped in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases trapped heat from the sun radiation as well as from the earth. Atmosphere protects the earth to maintain a constant temperature by trapping the heat from the sun. However‚ due to the greenhouse effects‚ it traps heat more than it used to be. As a result‚ it warms the earth

Blasting trash and toxic/radioactive waste into the endless void known as space would benefit our planet’s surface by keeping it cleaner as well as our planets atmosphere. A very large percentage of the Earths population does not even know where their trash goes once it is out of their house‚ hand‚ or possession. If somebody throws a piece of trash on the ground where does it end up? Once trash is disposed of
