controlled through the years and the pollution produced has been minimized‚ but do require substantial rehabilitation of the areas mined. Then the burning of these fossil fuels have staggering effects on the environment. There is the release of carbon dioxide‚ and radioactivity into the environment. The radioactivity comes from both coal-fired and nuclear powered stations. When coal combustion is the source of electricity production the uranium‚ radium and thorium present cases the ash from the coal to

Volcanic gasses including CO2‚ H2O vapour‚ and different kinds of sulfur gasses such SO2 and H2S‚ affect the climate in very different ways (Robock 2000). CO2 and H2O vapour generally act as green house gasses and work towards heating the Earth’s surface temperature. Sulfuric gasses affect climate in more complicated ways

The third source is the effects of cigarette smoke on plants. “Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide‚ as well as the numerous particulates that are in cigarette smoke can cause plants harm and affect their growth patterns. Particulates stick to the stems and leaves of plants‚ making it more difficult to absorb light.” The

during summer days. Auxiliary generators used to meet peak demand are less efficient and often burn fossil fuels. In 1998‚ for example‚ the total equivalent warming impact (TEWI) of European air conditioning was 156 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent. Of that TEWI‚ 25.6 million metric tons were attributable to direct hydrofluorocarbon emissions and around 130 million metric tons were attributable to indirect emissions. In the same year‚ the TEWI of 303 million automotive air conditioning

Consequences of greenhouse-effect temperature rises Predicting the consequences of global warming is one of the most difficult tasks for the world’s climate researchers. This is because the natural processes that cause rain‚ hail and snow storms‚ increases in sea level and other expected effects of global warming are dependent on many different factors. It is also difficult to predict the size of the emissions of greenhouse gases in the coming decades‚ as this is determined to a great extent by

Review of Related Literature Chalk is a type of limestone. Air and water do not wear chalk away easily‚ so when chalk is next to the sea‚ it often makes a largecliff. The "White Cliffs of Dover" in Kent‚ England are a good example of this. When chalk is near the top of the ground‚ it often makes chalk hills. Chalk holds water‚ so these chalk hills have a lot of water in them‚ and when the weather is very dry‚ water comes slowly from the chalk. Chalk is mostly formed from the calcareous (CaCO3)

In the circulatory system‚ two elements that are critical to the circulatory system are iron and oxygen‚ without these two elements it would be impossible for the system to function.
