AIR POLLUTION Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals‚ particulate matter‚ or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms‚ or cause damage to the natural environment or built environment‚ into the atmosphere. The atmosphere is a complex dynamic natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet Earth. Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earth’s ecosystems

1. There are four eras of Earth’s history they are Precambrian (87.6%)‚ Paleozoic (7.1)%‚ Mesozoic (3.9 %)‚ and Cenozoic (1.4 %) 2. There are four layers and two sub layers. * Inner core is solid metal and made up of nickel and iron * Outer core is made of a liquid molten core of nickel and iron * Mantle is made up of dense and mostly solid silicate rock * Lithosphere is the uppermost layer (100km thick) * Asthenosphere is the layer below the

Introduction A Global Warning: Global Warming | The world is warming dangerously. It depends either on the natural causes or the artificial causes like human based greenhouse gases. This affects both the vegetation and zoological environment and also the human | life. Its effects are gradually increasing every year.The purposes of our project are:·To investigate the causes and the effects of global warming and to present the results of our survey.·To attract attention on the solution proposals about

The Ozone Layer: What does it do and what happens when it is depleted? The ozone layer is one of the most debated scientific subjects of the last decade. The growing problem of its depletion is being researched heavily all over the world‚ and methods are being researched to try and solve the problem. There have also been many debates concerning the relationship between the ozone layer and the onset of global warming. Before solutions can be developed‚ however‚ what the ozone layer actually does

1. The red color on the map indicates relatively high Sea Surface Temperature‚ a range from 27 degrees Celsius to 28 degrees Celsius‚ and also indicates the presence of warm currents. The temperatures show that that oceanic area is prone to hurricanes. The average temperature seems to be about 25.4 degrees Celsius because it is the middle of the range for the color gradient given with the map. 2. As the color turns from blue to white to red to yellow‚ as the wavelength gets longer‚ the SST increases

THE EARTH At the beginning our planet is no more than a case of fire and cloud with glutenated dust particles similar to so many similar cloisters in the universe. This was the miracle where our life exists in this universe. Today life our life is just a link or chain of so many numerable living beings that was succeeded one another honours over nearly 4 billion years and even today new volcanoes continue to sculpt our landscapes it appears like molten rocks from the depths‚ solidifying‚ cracking
