Bilal Bourouf 260500473 Assignment 2 Geog200 My essay on Kyoto protocol Introduction: Greenhouse gases are primarily made of water vapor and other elements such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide [1]. This gas is emitted mostly by energy plants, transportation vehicles and deforestation. In a huge amount, it acts like a thermal blanket for the Earth conserving the heat which leads to important environmental problems such as global warming [2]. These gases are generated by all…

Introduction Mountain building is a process that takes place slowly on a geological timescale. It is, therefore necessary, in order to explore the role mountain building plays in global climate change to examine past epochs where the full impacts of these processes may be evaluated. One period in which evidence for possible connections between mountain building and global climate change is particularly rich is during the Oligocene-Miocene transition. As such, this essay focuses on the…

Industrial Revolution, there was an increase in factories to help with manufacturing. Even though this improved the production of manufactured goods, the factories burned fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and gas, which released a chemical known as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In today’s society, humans rely on the burning of fossil fuels in their everyday use such as to drive their vehicles, heat their homes, power industries, and provide electricity.…

absolutely detrimental to the surrounding ecosystem and even ecosystems hundreds of miles away. Implementation of wind energy as the major player of the energy sector will cut carbon emissions drastically and greatly improve the quality of our atmosphere. And without this much needed action emission levels, specifically carbon dioxide, will rise too high and our own atmosphere will become toxic. For…

What is the planet friendly solution to our dependence on fossil fuel? Our solution to the dependence on fossil fuel is solar energy. Solar energy is the primary source of power for humans to use thousands of years and appears every day for free. Indians used the sun to dry hides, herbs, and meats for storage. Prior to the invention of the clothes dryer, people used a line pulled tight between two poles or structures to hang clothes on for the sun to dry. In more recent times, people use…

impact comes from fuel consumption and emissions that lead to air pollution and greenhouse gases. Brake Debris and Tire Particles 1. Substances raise toxicity levels in nearby soilds and in the case of timre particles, lead to the formation of black carbon. Cause Lung toxicity and account for significant proportions of particulate matter in urban areas. Cars shold be deseigned to accommodate less toxic materials and to minimize wear on brakes and tires. Painting and Coating 1. Painting and…

any other suitable alkali metal carbonate or hydrogen carbonate) which release carbon dioxide when mixed with water. Occasionally, active ingredient itself could act as the acid or alkali metal compound necessary for effervescent reaction. Effervescent tablets are uncoated tablets that generally contain acid substances and carbonates or bicarbonates and which react rapidly in the presence of water by releasing carbon dioxide. Effervescent tablets are designed to produce a…

Outgassing of carbon dioxide (CO2) from inland waters has been estimated to offset approximately 20% of net uptake of carbon into the terrestrial biosphere. However, this calculation is based on estimates of source strength at the air-water interface that is highly uncertain [Ciais et al., 2013]. One of the largest unknowns is the accuracy and precision of freshwater partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) estimates. To better understand observational uncertainty in CO2 flux from inland waters, here we…

many products that directly come from deforestation,how much deforestation occurs all over the world just to fulfill the luxurious demands of the world 's population? I was well aware that trees consume carbon dioxide to give out oxygen that we need for survival. Also i knew that if that carbon dioxide isn 't controlled it goes on to combine with methane which traps heat in earth’s atmosphere that causes global warming.Deeply thinking about our dependence on trees and imagining the amount of…

Respiration (Short-term storage) Carbon that is stored in plants, animals and all living things is released back into the atmosphere during the process of respiration. Energy is required for all living things to carry out life processes therefore stored glucose must be converted to energy by respiration. Oxygen is used to break down carbon stored as sugar for energy by the process of respiration. Carbon dioxide is released as a waste product back into the atmosphere C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O…
