the variations in optical depth on Reunion Island. According to the graph, biomass burnings create a greater fluctuation in optical depth than volcanic activity. This could be because the emissions from biomass burning can quickly dissolve in the atmosphere, whereas volcanic ash takes months to clear up. A scientist would graph data of biomass burnings and volcanic activity together because they affect global aerosol activity.…
Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect. According to A Student’s Guide to Climate Change, the major greenhouse gasses present in the atmosphere are, carbon dioxide, making up around 64.3% of all greenhouse gasses, methane, making up around 17.0% of all greenhouse gases, nitrous oxide, which is around 6.0% of all greenhouse gases, fluorinated…
to get a mental image of the action taking place? The setting plays a major aspect to a story, it can become boring if you do not understand the time, place, or atmosphere the story took place in. In Kate Chopin’s short story, The Storm the setting plays a major role. The setting portrays more than where The Storm takes place, the atmosphere, weather, and the time are crucial to the piece of work. Chompin gives in vital insight to where the story takes place. The face that she first informs us…
images returned by New Horizons shows that Pluto’s surface is mostly composed of nitrogen, just like Earth’s. There is; however, about a 20 percent difference in composition; Earth’s atmosphere is around ~78 percent nitrogen while Pluto’s is ~98 percent. Another interesting fact is that the nitrogen in Pluto’s atmosphere is actually leaving, and at a pretty alarming rate. According to Singer, the nitrogen is escaping at an estimated rate of “hundreds of tons per hour.” Other pictures also…
Explore how the portrayal of emotion and atmosphere differs between Straight Photography and Pictorialism Straight photography is the based on the idea of creating images that accurately portray the reality of the world by faithfully depicting what is in front of the camera lens without manipulating the image in any way. Straight photography encourages experimentation with the limits of the camera itself as opposed to manipulating the image with a brush after it has been printed. In contrast to…
1.1 Introduction/ what is Acid Rain? Acid rain, or acid precipitation is a term used to describe any form of precipitation with a pH of less than 5.6. In recent years, the effects of acid rain are being experienced on a global scale with widespread environmental effects. Primarily, acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the combustion of fossil fuels. However, even pure rainwater is slightly acidic (pH of 5.6-6.5) due to the reaction between H2O…
1 In this paragraph I will prove that Mr. Dickens uses imagery in his book A Christmas Carol to create an atmosphere by using vivid and descriptive adjectives to describe the setting and create a scene in the reader’s mind that reflects the one he’s written. 2 Imagery: the literary term used for language and description that appeals to our five senses (taste, touch, smell, hearing and most of all, sight). Throughout this paper I will use three quoted examples from the text in order to support…
suggests that as years go by, the concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing dramatically. • Suggest the possible cause for this trend The reason for the levels of CO2 increasing as years go by is because of human activities such as industries and technology. Industries and everyday technology such as vehicles, release CO2,…
would eat the organic molecule and break it down and take in oxygen and would produce carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide is produced in the Krebs cycle and is released into the atmosphere in where it can be used for photosynthesis. b. Algae can carry out both…
