    connected with the rises of greenhouse gases on the ozone layer which cause the thinning of the layer. Ozone acts by absorbing the ultraviolet rays from the sun which prevent the earth from overheating. The increasing amount of carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) causes the rise of global climatic change. The actions that have been done recently in overcoming the emission of CFC however cannot ensure the full recovery of the ozone layer due to the past emission which still continue to…

    Nearly every battery in a phone, laptop or electric car is lithium based. The element lithium is a difficult substance to harvest. It must be evaporated from brine which is found in salt lakes. This brine is pumped from underground to the surface then allowed to evaporate in large pans before being separated by electrolysis. From there the lithium metal oxide is taken to a factory where it is made into battery cells [6]. At the factory the anode and cathode materials are separated for production…

    Weather is a day-to-day change in the atmospheric condition such as temperatures and humidity. The climate is the observed weather for an extended period hence it identifiable with specific locations. The climate system is made of the elements such as biosphere (living organisms), cryosphere (ice sheets, oceans, and atmosphere) and geosphere (rocks, soils, and sediments).All these factors influence the changes in the movement of heat on the environment, which leads to climate change. The oceans…
