formed. These volcanoes released various gases. Around 4600 million years ago the Earth’s atmosphere was made up of Carbon Dioxide‚ Water Vapour‚ Nitrogen‚ Ammonia‚ Hydrogen Chloride‚ Sulphur Dioxide‚ Hydrogen and the Noble gasses. There was no oxygen at this time. Oxygen only appeared in the atmosphere around 3500 million years ago when the first simple organisms began releasing it. Most of the Earth’s atmosphere (78.08%) now is made up of Nitrogen. Another 20.95% is mage up of Oxygen. A number of

What is the composition of seawater? The salinity of seawater ranges from 3.3 to 3.7%. When seawater evaporates it leaves behind sodium chloride‚ better known as table salt. The other components of seawater are acquired through various methods. One of which is weathering. Chemical weathering of rock releases

Historical Atmosphere Challenge The changes we are witnessing and those that are predicted are largely due to human behaviour. We are burning fossil fuels‚ and heating up the planet at the same time. We blow ever increasing amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere every year – 29 billion tonnes of it (2004) and rising – and this causes the temperature to increase.

atmosphere of Earth is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth’s gravity. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation. A. Nitrogen - 78% - Dilutes oxygen and prevents rapid burning at the earth’s surface. Living things need it to make proteins. Nitrogen cannot be used directly from the air. The Nitrogen Cycle is nature’s way of supplying the needed nitrogen for living things. B. Oxygen - 21% - Used by all living things. Essential

Atmosphere is to a work of literature what a background is to a painting. Each Shakespearean play has a unique atmosphere which helps to build up the play. The general atmosphere of Macbeth is one of darkness and thick darkness. All the scenes which at once recur to memories take place either at night or in some dark spot. The character traits of the protagonist Macbeth and his wife Lady Macbeth is painted with frequent shades of black. Nature is foul and the desolate heath‚ the darkness of the

The Concentration of CO2 in the Atmosphere Introduction Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless‚ odorless‚ non-flammable gas that can be produced by cellular respiration and burning of fossil fuels. Many types of industries such as breweries‚ mining ore and the manufacturing of carbonated drinks‚ drugs‚ disinfectants‚ pottery‚ and baking powder; utilize the CO2 gas (Appendix C). Recently Scientist proposed a theory in which CO2 concentration levels above 450ppm will lead to dramatic and potentially

A. Identification of Pollutant in the Atmosphere Carbon Dioxide Carbon Dioxide is a colorless gas having a faint‚ sharp odor and a sour taste; it is a minor component of Earth’s atmosphere formed in combustion of carbon-containing materials‚ in fermentation‚ and in respiration of animals and employed by plants in the photosynthesis of carbohydrates. Though living things emit carbon dioxide when they breathe‚ carbon dioxide is widely considered to be a pollutant when associated with cars‚ planes
