The earth’s atmosphere came from gases released by volcanoes on the planet. It contained these three main gasses, CH4 (Methane), Co2 (carbon dioxide) and NH3 (ammonia). The Carbon dioxide fed the plants. These plants then produced oxygen which is a process which continues today. The same applies to NH3 (ammonia) which fungi’s take in then producing one of the main gases which makes up our atmosphere today N (Nitrogen). The atmosphere today made up of the main gasses N2 (78%) O2 (21%) Co2 (0.04%) and the rest the less important gasses such as Argon which make up 1% of the rest of the atmosphere.
There are many different ways in which humans effect the earth’s atmosphere in non-beneficial ways. Two of the main ones are Global warming and deforestation. …show more content…
The main effects of this are that the ice caps are melting due to increase in heat, preventing the animals which live there (e.g. polar bears and penguins) from having a habitat to live in at all. The increase of climate change has also affected the environment by making the air more dangerous to us and any other animals on the planet. This is called pollution. This pollution is as already mentioned before caused by burning fossil fuels in things such as factories and modes of transport such as cars etc. This can be very poisonous to us and can even cause things such as cancer depending on how strong and how much of the pollution there is and how long you stay in the area of where the heavy pollution is. However this can be prevented we can cut down on the amount of pollution we cause by burning less fossil fuels, this can be done by having eco-friendly cars such as electric cars which run on batteries. Producing electrical power for households and other buildings by using renewable energy sources such as solar energy which runs on the sun light. This will give power to a household for 24hrs as it will charge …show more content…
This if you did not know is the cutting don of trees to use for things such as paper and other things which are not necessarily necessities for us to live. Activities like this mostly take place in jungles such as the Amazon rainforest. One reason for this being bad for the environment is the amount of habitats which are destroyed for millions of wildlife which live there, is said the 70% of species on the planet live in forests causing many species to die and some even on the verge of extinction. Another impact of deforestation is when the trees are cut down a lot less oxygen will be produced, as trees and plant take in Co2 (carbon dioxide) and then give out O2 (oxygen). It is said that 31% of the planet is covered in forests, if this were to be reduced to nothing barley any oxygen will be produced although it would take 1000 years for the level of oxygen in the atmosphere to begin to run out or for us to begin to be starved. To stop this we could simply stop deforestation taking its inevitable course of killing wildlife and killing trees and plants in general. This can be stopped by setting up protected area of wood lands and forests and after every tree that ‘must’ be cut down for building houses etc. you must re plant trees for the future so they can replace the ones which are cut
