    waterways at this point in time. However there is one major threat to water quality that humans are responsible for. When we burn fossil fuel, there are many gaseous compounds released into the atmosphere. Doesn’t sound that bad does it? However, when some of these compounded gases react with water, the water is now acidic. The gas that is produced when burning these fuels is carbon dioxide (CO2). Ocean acidification is when carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater and forms carbonic acid which…

    one why or why not? The pros of having an electric vehicle would be less expensive fuel, we all know that the prices of gasoline are going up because the limited fossil fuel that well eventually run out, and let’s be realistic here by saying that no everyone enjoys paying for their gas, plus electric vehicles are much friendlier on the environment with no tailpipe emissions they have less dependency on fossil fuels.

    Air pollution is the more concerning of the two for the time being because of the number of vehicles, factories, plants, boats, and plains. The main causes for it are the burning of fossil fuels, emissions from industries and manufacturing plants, as well as household and farming chemicals. The burning of fossil fuels stems from transportation, cars, planes, trains, and trucks. This is one of the major causes of air pollution and is probably the most difficult one to manage because of how…

    The burning of fossil fuels for energy is still the world’s primary source of CO2 emissions. As a result, solar technology has become a primary candidate in the era of finding new ways to create emission free energy. Solar power harnesses the energy of the sun’s rays to generate electricity that is considered environmentally friendly, or “green,” due to the almost nonexistent emission of CO2 throughout the process. The electricity produced by solar farms can then be added to the grid and…
