understand how to prevent global warming and preserve our Earth. The ozone layer is the layer in the atmosphere that protects from the sun’s harmful UV or ultraviolet rays. Over…

this planet, but with so many different opinions, theories, and predictions it can get confusing to know what the primary cause of global warming is. Global warming is simply defined as a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth 's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. Global warming has an overwhelming effect on plants and other organisms in the ecosystem as well as on the ecosystem overall,…

Global warming is the continuing rise in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere and oceans. Global warming is caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, resulting from human activities such as deforestation and burning of fossil fuels. The increased temperature has effects on both humans and animals. There are many ways, which can allow people to continue living and to deal with climate changes. However, while humans are pretty good at adapting to…

a cyclone (Chu 2016). Beta-drifting is when the storm is spinning one way on bottom and the opposite way up towards the atmosphere. Now since Saturn is moving on it’s axis with its own velocity, it then drags with it the storm’s spinning at their own speed as well; which would bring the storms straight to the poles (Kluger 2016). O 'Neil even quoted saying, “ The whole atmosphere is being dragged by its planet as it rotates… so all that air has some ambient angular momentum.” (Chu 2016). Over a…

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration processes are thought of as completely opposite. They are completely opposite processes locked in a never-ending cycle. That cycle helps maintain the Earth's atmosphere to keep the planet inhabitable by making the air breathable. The processes both have many differences between them, but they also have many similarities. They cause the perfect balance that's essential to life, as we know it. The processes help…

In the article, Global Warming’s Terrifying New Math, which could be found in the Rolling Stones Magazine, the author Bill Mckibben thoroughly outlines the most conventional political thinking about the issue Global Warming and Climate change that civilization and society has failed to resolve . However in order for this issue to be properly resolved, the ways of changing the methods of living and well being of society are going to be strongly impacted. First and foremost , Mckibeen uses three…

atmospheric life to only the range of 8-20 years.1 The atmospheric duration of these compounds are much smaller compared to perfluorinated compounds which last as long as 3,200 years in the atmosphere.1 Another characteristic that set HFCs apart is its very low hydroxyl ion reactivity in the lower atmosphere, which makes it incapable of creating smog or air pollution.1 The low hydroxyl ion reactivity can be contributed to the great amount of fluorine atoms that HFCs possess. It also leads to…

their surrounding environment. The influence of anthropogenic factors is now intruded into every aspect of the environment. Emissions of chemical compounds into the air have greatly altered and modified the composition and energy balance of the atmosphere, thereby accelerating the pace of climate change. Additionally,…

This is called retrograde rotation. It is said that this is because of their close position to the Sun. Appearing to be a nice golden color, the pictures we see of Venus is actually showing the clouds that are filled with sulfuric acid, making its atmosphere cloudy and dense. A year on Venus last 225 Earth days and a day lasts 243 Earth days. This means that it takes longer for Venus to spin on its axis, than it does for it to orbit the Sun. Another interesting thing about Venus is that its…

other heat trapping greenhouse gases contribute to climate change. The largest known contribution comes from the burning of fossil fuels- coal, oil, and natural gases for energy, and agriculture. Power stations emit 21.3% harmful gases into the atmosphere. A typical coal plant emits 3.5 million tons of CO2 per year. Coal plants in the US are also the leading source of sulfur dioxide. Burning coal causes smog, acid rain, and toxic rain. This acid rain damages crops, forests, and soils, and…
