:- The atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen (78%)‚ oxygen (21%)‚ and traces (remaining 1%) of carbon dioxide‚ argon‚ water vapor and other components. Although the atmosphere is approximately 1‚100 km high‚ the stratosphere (10 to 50 km) and the troposphere (less than 10 km) are the main atmospheric interactors of the biosphere. The atmosphere is a prime mean for the spatial diffusion of pollutants and a temporary mean of their accumulation. 2. Hydrosphere :- The hydrosphere is the accumulation

Effect of Different Microwave Doses on Vicia faba Germination‚ Growth and Genetic makeup Problem: Some areas are affected by high frequencies of microwaves; this affects plant growth‚ germination and genetic makeup‚ which leads to a loss in crop yield‚ including one of the major crops of high economic importance‚ the Vicia faba. Abstract: Plants and their stresses have been of very great importance lately. Since there are many kinds of stresses‚ we only studied one‚ but a very important

Topic: Climate Change Question: What are the factors that affect climate change? Causes of climate change The earth’s climate is dynamic and always changing through a natural cycle. What the world is more worried about is that the changes that are occurring today have been speeded up because of man’s activities. These changes are being studied by scientists all over the world who are finding evidence from tree rings‚ pollen samples‚ ice cores‚ and sea sediments. The causes of climate change can

Have you ever heard of the second largest classic explosive eruption of the twentieth century? The purpose of this report is to examine the cataclysmic eruption of Mount Pinatubo in June 1991. This volcano is located on the island of Luzon in the Philippines; a mere 90 kilometers (55 miles) northwest of the capital city of Manila (Rosenbu‚ 2010) (see Figure 1). Specifically‚ this report will give a vivid description and information about the volcano. It will discuss a variety of factors related to

and an oxygen atom. The oxygen atom then joins up with an oxygen molecule to regenerate ozone. The ozone layer is located in one of the five layers called the stratosphere which is located about 10-50 km above the planet. The other layers are the troposphere‚ mesosphere‚ thermosphere and exosphere. Figure 1 shows location of the Ozone layer.

gases are water vapor (36 -70%)‚ carbon dioxide CO2 (9-26%)‚ methane CH4 (4-9%)‚ and ozone O3 (3-7%). Since the industrial revolution‚ human activity has increased the amount of greenhouse gases‚ leading to increased levels of CO2‚ methane and troposphere ozone. Fossil fuels are the world’s largest leading energy and fuel source for most vehicles. When energy is scarce or expensive‚ people can suffer material deprivation and economic hardship. When it is obtained in ways that fail to minimize environmental

To The Reader The reason why a special chapter is assigned to the collapse of the theory of evolution is that this theory constitutes the basis of all anti-spiritual philosophies. Since Darwinism rejects the fact of creation‚ and therefore the existence of Allah‚ during the last 140 years it has caused many people to abandon their faith or fall into doubt. Therefore‚ showing that this theory is a deception is a very important duty‚ which is strongly related to the religion. It is imperative that

INTRODUCTION The first large scale electrical air conditioning was inverted by Willis Havilland Carrier in July 17‚1902 at Buffalo‚ NewYork‚ just one year after he graduated from Cornell university with a masters in engineering. In 1928‚WillisHavilland Carrierimproved and developed the residential air conditioner for private home used which call “weather make”.
