GREENHOUSE EFFECTS IntroductionThe greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases‚ and is re-radiated in all directions. Since part of this re-radiation is back towards the surface and the lower atmosphere‚ it results in an elevation of the average surface temperature above what it would be in the absence of the gases.[1][2] Solar radiation at the frequencies of visible light largely passes through the atmosphere to

The temperate forest is an area of the world that has high levels of precipitation and humidity. They contain a wide variety of deciduous trees‚ which are trees that lose their leaves in the winter. The temperatures of the temperate forests vary based on the four seasons. It is typically hot in the summer with high temperatures of 86 degrees and cold in the winter. These areas receive large amounts of precipitation in the form of rain and snow. Eastern Asia‚ Central and Western Europe‚ and the Eastern

gullies are difficult and costly to repair. What causes gully erosion ? Gully erosion occurs when water is channelled across unprotected land and washes away the soil along the drainage lines. Under natural conditions‚ run-off is moderated by vegetation which generally holds the soil together‚ protecting it from excessive run-off and direct

Vegetation is the third environmental factor which is in charge of plant life. There are many kinds of vegetation‚ such as trees‚ bushes‚ flowers‚ grass‚ and reeds. Wherever people settled in the ancient world‚ water‚ topography‚ and vegetation were important factors.

It is estimated that 60 % of the park area is formed by natural vegetation. However‚ cultivative species such as the Diptoryx ordorata(tonca bean) and calabash are common. Bamboo is also plentiful and is planted in riparian zones for ricer bank stabilization. The vegetation and

appeal my hypothesis. | Stream ecology is the overall health of the water and the surrounding ecosystem. There are many different components that make up a stream’s health. The main factors that affect stream ecology are: geology‚ climate‚ vegetation‚ nutrients‚ bacteria‚ temperature‚ DO (Dissolved oxygen)‚ and toxic chemicals. The shape of the land and the soil is also a big part and can be changed with human activity. The pace of the stream can also change the type of ecosystem that the stream
