Atmosphere

Gases like carbon dioxide, neon and ozone have risen the earth’s normal temperature, and this change is called the greenhouse effect. In the atmosphere, there are certain gases, such as methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, and water vapor, which reflect the heat back to earth. Because of this process earth can maintain a suitable temperature. The average temperature on earth would be very low…

Title: Global Warming Purpose Statement: To inform my audience about how global warming is impacting the earth. Central Idea: With the average temperature of the earth rising more than 1.1 to 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit since between 1906 and 2005, the planet’s animals, our weather, and our future is in great danger (Riebeek, H). Intro All throughout history, Earth’s temperature has changed over and over again due to natural reasons. Small shifts in Earth’s orbit would cause it to either warm or…

speeding up this destructive process. The most common and well known factor is the Greenhouse effect, which is a natural process through which land and water masses absorb radiation from the sun. Most of that heat is then released back into the atmosphere. Recently, due to human activity, we are trapping more heat than our planet actually needs, giving rise to the melting of the polar icecaps. This extra water in the ocean greatly effects marine biology. Industrialisation is one of the major…

Imagine having summer all year long, being under the sweltering heat, breathing the stuffy, sick air, and conditions worsening as the day goes by. These harsh conditions are increased by air pollution and climate change through cars and factories; man-made inventions. These innovative technologies have been necessary in order to have a functioning and developing society and economy. However, the belief that humans are the sole cause of climate change is refuted by scientists, advocating that the…

of them. Meteorology is the main category, while climate and weather are separate entities of it. Learning the differences between these terms makes it easier to understand the different parts of meteorology. The term climate is the weather or atmosphere over a long interval of time. Typically, climate is the long-term weather over many years. When studying climate, meteorologists look at averages over several years and how the weather might be changing when looking to the future. Climate is…

through the atmosphere of the Earth and reach the surface. When the light then strikes the Earth’s surface it is reflected back into the atmosphere as heat or infrared energy and greenhouse gases absorb the heat which, as a result, makes the Earth’s temperature slowly increase (Angelle, 2010). The warming happens when the atmosphere traps the radiation heat from Earth toward space. As most know, life on Earth depends on energy from the sun. Of the light that reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, about…

First, air pollution results from the addition of gases, solids, and liquids to the atmosphere. It can be both natural, (I.e., pollen, decomposing organic matter, and particles from active volcanoes) and man-made (I.e., emissions from cars, industrial by-products) (Harris). Once in the air, pollutants are impossible to control. Because…

influencing the environment with all the emissions of greenhouse gases. Thus, the main cause for the change in atmosphere is human caused. Desperately seeking towards the industrial revolution and the intensive use of energy “led to a raise in the emission of carbon dioxide” (Causes of climate change. Retrieved November 23, 2015). Methane, another important greenhouse gas in our atmosphere that is formed from the cud-chewing process of domesticated animals, is emitted from “landfills and other…

ozone layers. It is also the single most effective path to reduce global warming, however becoming a vegan could cause anemia. Humans are killing themselves slowly every day due to global warming. Greenhouse gases are accumulating within Earth's atmosphere, causing climate change. According to PETA, " Carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are all powerful greenhouse gases, and together, they cause the vast majority of climate change." Global warming is warming the climate around the world.…
