of our environment. Large factories and other large buildings which produce a large amount of pollution tend to be sited away from populated areas to help prevent pollution entering our breathable atmosphere over towns and cities; indeed‚ large chimneys push the pollution further up into the atmosphere avoiding any fallout to local inhabitants. Large amounts of pollution can result in smog‚ which can lead too poor visibility as well as breathing difficulties for the cities and inhabitants. Smog can

in their frequency and severity? Many modern scientists attribute these dangerous environmental trends of global warming to the ‘greenhouse effect’. The ‘greenhouse effect’ results from greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide rising into the atmosphere‚ trapping infrared radiation from the sun‚ and emitting ultraviolet radiation that can puncture the earth’s stratospheric ozone layer. A healthy ozone layer should prevent this from happening‚ but the ozone layer has deteriorated quite considerably

will give vital information on how pollution affects the ozone layer and methods instituted to help the ozone layer. In this research paper you will also find out what the ozone layer actually is and the parts that it is composed of. The Earth’s atmosphere is divided into several layers. The lowest region‚ the troposphere‚ extends from the earth’s surface up to about 10 kilometers in altitude. All human activities take place in the troposphere. The next layer‚ the stratosphere‚ continues from 10 to

activity like using cars added co2 into the atmosphere along with industry‚ this vast adding of CO2 causes the enhanced green house effect. The enhanced green house effect is when the suns long wave radiation gets trapped in the atmosphere as a ‘bubble’ around the earth of green house gases (including CO2) is reflecting back the radiation as it tries to escape into space once its been reflected. This trapping of the suns radiation warms up the atmosphere as the heat can’t escape. Although this process

choices. Global warming is based on the notion that the earth temperatures are increasing due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels. The increase in temperatures is caused by the increasing emission of carbon dioxide‚ CO2‚ into the atmosphere that is associated with trapping heat hence the greenhouse effect. According to Maslin (2007)‚ human activities that include burning of fossil fuels are the main causes of global warming in our planet. The effect of increasing global temperatures

effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere‚ some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases include: water vapour carbon dioxide methane nitrous oxide ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth. This process maintains the Earth’s temperature at around 33 degrees

Global Warming: Causes‚ Effects‚ and Solutions. Global Warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth ’s atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Many people do not see this as a problem. However‚ it is currently a huge issue that is often talked about among scientists and many other people. Global Warming is caused by many different things. Greenhouse gases‚ deforestation‚ and solar activity are three different proven facts that cause global warming

When combustion occurs by the surrounding of oxygen‚ carbon dioxide and water molecules are set free in the atmosphere. The phosphorous cycle is the element that is in rock and soil minerals which when the rocks starts to break down the phosphorous is released.

for this is because the earth is a geoid ‚ the sun’s rays hit directly on the equator(caused by unequal insolation due to three factors: angle of strike‚ atmospheric depletion and surface area.) and then move outwards towards the polar areas. The atmosphere together with the ocean currents work hard to try and even out the imbalance of heat energy by redistributing the air from the equator to the Polar Regions but also from the Earth’s surface back into space.(1) 2. The heat imbalance can be transferred
