Architecture is as old as humanity and it influences nearly all mankind. It has a great impact on our well-being by inducing feelings ranging from boredom, depression and even fear to inspiration and relaxation. The results of previous studies are mixed but they indicate that architectural knowledge and cultural factors affect architectural opinions. A person’s feeling may vary as the surrounding vary thus the idea of an architect being responsible for designing buildings which satisfy aesthetic…

For some people food is a just a necessity to satisfy needs. For others food is more than a basic necessity, but that pleasure plays a significant role in their understanding of happiness. However, nowadays many consumers are oblivious to the fact that the food they eat is full of chemicals. The big food companies continue their malpractices relentlessly. This is because the majority of the industrial food eaters does a perfunctory job of studying the ways the food industries prepare the food…

The greenhouse effect is a system in which certain gases in the Earth’s atmosphere trap infrared radiation emitted from the Earth and re-radiate it in all directions. This causes additional heating of the Earth. As the radiation from the Sun is absorbed by the Earth’s surface, the energy is converted to thermal energy. Then, the Earth radiates lower-energy infrared radiation back out to the atmosphere and space. The Earth’s atmosphere and clouds absorb this infrared energy and radiation directed…

Is there any chance global warming, dramatic effects are changing the earth’s atmosphere slowly or rapidly? The industrial revolution begun in the mid- 17th century, it was a transition from agriculture era to manufacturing production era. This was the time where technology was improving and aspect of our daily life was changing. The first powered gasoline car (Benz Patent-Motorwagen) was made in 1807 and made by Karl Benz. Gasoline is made from fossil fuels, which is released into the…

With the ice caps melting, and the planet’s ozone layer depleting, mankind could be driving the Earth to extinction. The study of the earth and how it works allows scientists to develop new ways to try to save the Earth. While many debate the existence of climate change, it is a very real thing causing harm to our planet. The use of fossil fuels, and the development of new alternative energy sources could be the solution. Climate Change One of the biggest factors changing our earth is global…

Cancer, skin disease, plants and wildlife all around us dying, the ozone hole is dangerous and the threat is real. The hole in the ozone layer has the potential to cause mass damage to the Earth. The Antarctic region is devastated due to the exposure to ultraviolet light and the climate across the world has begun to shift. Due to the harmful impact humans have has on the environment, this even could cause a major catastrophe for the earth and its inhabitants. The ozone is a layer of gas in the…

The environment, along with its protection and issues connected with it are questions of interest nowadays. Many people are concerned with the state of the earth and our destructive impact on nature itself. Because of the slow change our environment is undergoing, many have failed to realize that this is even a problem. In, “An Inconvenient Truth,” Al Gore explains, “If a frog is put into a container of water that slowly increases in heat, it will stay there until it... Gets pulled out of the…

“Our environment, the world which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations” - Earl Nightingale. The world has been around for billions of years and has undergone permanent damage that has been caused by the careless human race. The damage that has been done is irreparable, and it should not be overlooked. The desire to improve our environment and keep our world safe has been a mutual feeling by individuals who are aware of the effects of greenhouse gases. Buying energy…

that “[t]hey found that certain compounds that contain fluorine atoms are much more efficient than CO, or methane at trapping radiation and exacerbating the greenhouse effect” ("What Are The Most Harmful Atmospheric Chemicals?"). For example, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), one of the greenhouse gases, is a man-made chemical that used for aerosol spray that was once thought to be the greatest substance of all time. However, after doing lots of research, it is now accumulating in the atmosphere and…

Effects of global warming Introduction Global warming is an ongoing increase in the whole temperature of the earth's atmosphere normally recognized to the greenhouse result caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants. In line for global warming, the normal temperature of the Earth’s surface is progressively increasing. While some argument still occurs over the primary causes of global warming, the Natural Resources Defense Council places the…
