the world. Due to global warming, the glaciers are melting which is causing the rise in the sea level. When the level of the sea rises, it causes danger to the people living in the low lying areas. When the level of the sea rises, it covers the plants and causes some of them to die. When they die, animals lose their main source of food. We, human beings lose our two sources of food, plants and animals. It may also force people to lose their homes. In other words, the whole chain will get…
From food, water and even the air we respire we are totally dependent on the nature. But we pollute the same water we drink, and damage the same air we need to respire. We human think that using of chemical fertilizers will make our crops healthy and hygienic, unaware of the fact that,…
of Ammonia (NH4) and Carbon Dioxide (Co2). 4 billion years ago the world was covered with volcanos. The volcanoes released Carbon Dioxide (CO2) methane (CH4) and water vapour. The oxygen levels were 0.000%, also meaning no oxygen. 3.2 billion Years ago life of bacteria was forming and increasing. This made food by breaking down available nutrients. This produced more oxygen and made the oxygen level increase slightly to 0.001%. 600 million years ago oceans were formed from water vapour and made…
“The biosphere is all plants, animals, and bacteria living on the earth. The biosphere is very sensitive to environmental changes “said” by The Biosphere. According to Earth in the Balance, “The earth is going through environmental disaster such as the total loss of the Aral Sea, once the fourth largest inland sea in the world, to graphs clearly depicting the accelerating rate of carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere and geometric population growth in the world, Gore weaves a compelling and…
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. With the combined…
Carbon is the backbone of life on Earth. All things are made of Carbon. It is a part of the ocean, air and even rocks. This carbon flows between each reservoir in an exchange called the Carbon Cycle. This cycle will be investigated to show an understanding of its functions and how human activity can severely impact this cycle. (insert hypothesis here). Human activity, with out proper regulation can lead to imbalance throughout the carbon cycle meaning the interference of a Global system much…
The Effects of Acid Rain in the Temperate Deciduous Forest The temperate deciduous forest has many environmental threats, such as deforestation, introduction of non-native species, overgrazing, and much more. One prominent issue, other than the cutting down of trees, is the constant occurrence of acid rain and pollutants in the air. Acid rain is essentially rainfall made acidic due to atmospheric pollution that causes environmental harm, typically to forests and lakes. The main cause of this…
bound to be negative effects on the environment, but we as humans could help minimize these negative effects by cutting back on our so called luxuries. Here are a few processes that are destroying earth are ozone depletion, biodiversity loss, chemical pollution, ocean acidification and deforestation (Chen). Ozone depletion means that the ozone in the stratosphere is wearing out causing a hole in the ozone. The ozone is a layer of oxygen that protects humans, plants and animals from harmful…
million people. The two countries responsible for creating almost half of the planet’s carbon dioxide emissions is China and the United States (“Gallucci and Horn”). However, Americans are 5% of the world’s population and use 25% of the world’s resources. American’s burn up nearly 25% of coal, 26% of oil, and 27% of natural gas (“11 Facts About Air Pollution”) The three common types of pollution are: • Air Pollution • Water Pollution • Land Pollution AIR POLLUTION Air pollution is when the air…
Zaynab Abdullahi CHEM 1700-91 CO2 Emissions Global warming is the gradual rise of the earth’s temperature within the atmosphere. The rise of heat is due to the greenhouse effect, which is caused by increased levels of Carbon dioxide. The earth already produces CO2 in different ways, but too much of it is harmful and causes global warming. There are many things that contribute to the cause of global warming, which affects human lives and health in many ways . Scientist’s agree that the main…
