Atmospheric electricity

Pluto was chief among these. Specifically, the mission of New Horizons was to explore the Pluto – Charon system, as well as some of their Kuiper Belt cousins (New Frontiers Program, 2015). More specifically, the mission was to investigate the atmospheric and geological composition and properties of Pluto and Charon, as well as partially map out the surfaces of both bodies (New Frontiers Program, 2015). The latter of these garnered most of the public following of the New Horizons mission.…

The explosions or Coronal mass ejections, which cause solar storms can ram into the earth's atmospheric bubble. The impact of the energy to the surface of the atmosphere can cause satellite disruptions. This leads to minor or major power outages, depending on the size and energy of the storm. The storms also cause the northern lights. Scientists…

Is Biomass a better source of energy than Geothermal for meeting Canada’s energy needs in the 21st century? Biomass is biological material obtained from living or recently living (dead) plant or animal matter such as trees or waste that can be processed into fuel and heat. While geothermal energy is produced by obtaining the heat from the earth’s core but currently has no developed sites in Canada. We believe that biomass is a better energy source than geothermal power for meeting Canada’s…

Technology makes our lives easier but hurts the environment. When innovators create technology, many people use these products, which negatively impacts society. When people use more electricity than they need to, the vast amount of electricity being used affects the pollution and the environment, like when a computer is on for too long, it can burn out or slow down, which is expensive to fix. Old technologies have been hurting the environment. We use so much technology; it has negatively…

concentration of pollutants in air (3D space) using the Gaussian Plume Model. Pre Requisite Knowledge The Gaussian plume model is a (relatively) simple mathematical model that is typically applied to point source emitters, such as coal-burning electricity-producing plants. Occassionally, this model will be applied to non-point source emitters, such as exhaust from automobiles in an urban area. Air pollution is represented by an idealized plume coming from the top of a stack of some height and…

ethanol, biofuel, and propane burn cleaner than gasoline and diesel and reduce carbon dioxide emissions (US Legal, n.d.). In addition, the use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind power, batteries, and hydro-electricity can be used in place of fossil fuels to produce electricity and power machinery and equipment. Lastly, reducing the consumption of energy used by people and in people’s homes include replacing old appliances with new efficient, Energy Star rated models, installing…

Greenhouse gases affect on the earth’s atmosphere to retain heat. Higher greenhouse gas concentrations in the earth’s atmosphere cause global warming through this ‘ greenhouse effect ’. Climate Change has identified six greenhouse gases whose atmospheric…

warming is defined in Merriam-Webster’s dictionary as: the elevation in the earth’s atmospheric and marine temperatures generally expected to occur during a surge in the greenhouse effect, resulting exclusively from pollution (Global warming, n.d.). There is said to be many causes of global warming, but the three main sources are energy generation, transportation, and agriculture. The manufacture of electricity is the single leading cause of CO 2 secretions in the United States. Coal provides…

the concept of greenhouse gasses and global warming. His main theory was that fossil fuel combustion was the reason for global warming and his research on this particular topic lasted for years. During his research he formed a connection between atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and the earth’s temperature. He discovered that the earth is about 15 degrees Celsius due to water vapor and carbon dioxide. The natural occurrence of this certain temperature due to certain gasses in the…

reliable electrical energy tap for industry. Using massive propeller blades and an electrical generator to convert wind currents into more usable forms of electricity, wind turbines have the capacity to provide clean, long-lasting energy sources to industrializing communities around the world [X]. While the process of converting wind energy into electricity…
