The dictionary defines climate change as a weather change. However, from a scientific perspective it is a change in global climate pattern, and it is a long-term change in average weather conditions that is most affected by human activities. According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the carbon dioxide is 40% higher than preindustrial times. It can be stated that the main concept of climate change is the increase levels of carbon dioxide, produced by the…

Ocean acidification plays a very important role in today’s society. This process affects every living creature and the environment in many different ways and failure to controls certain daily aspects of human behavior pattern will have serious consequences. What is ocean acidification? “Ocean acidification refers to a reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period time, caused primarily by uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere”. While the pH of the ocean displays…

teaching little children about trese and rivers but ensuring education about the environment. If large corporation and even the average human being were more acknowledged about environmental education, we will be more considerate of how much greenhouse gases we unconsciously release into the atmosphere. We should require all chemical, construction, and any other company that may add to pollution to take classes and assessments on environmental education. The classes will teach environmental…

philosophy remained dominant with emphasis on understanding the composition, combustion, and fluids of matter. This led to an increase in identification and classification in both the physical and life sciences as scientists studied the properties of gases, acids, and bases. Thus, the eighteenth century was a time where the study of composition of matter, theories of heat, and electrical behavior of matter directed the physical science with classification beginning to occupy naturalists. All of…

that the volcanic activity was very intense for the first billion years on Earth. They also think that the composition of the early atmosphere was as the following: - Mainly carbon dioxide gas - Very little or no oxygen at all - Small amounts of the gases ammonia and methane - Some water vapor This atmosphere, the scientists say, is very similar to the atmosphere of Venus, which is 90% carbon dioxide. However, about 3500 million years ago, small little plants started to grow on the…

Permafrost Remember Mood Rings? They were rings that change colors depending on your emotions. At least that’s what they wanted us to think. Mood Rings are really thermochroic liquid crystals that color changes based on the temperature of the finger. Something that seems so permanent like the color of a crystal is subject to change just by the mere change of the temperature of its environment. Some environments are also rigid and structured just like the crystals in Mood Rings, but yet, are also…

fact that there are many things released into the atmosphere such as greenhouse gases. One of the most influential gases of them all happens to be carbon dioxide. There has been evidence linked to this greenhouse gas that affects the temperature of Earth. “The first line of evidence is our basic physical understanding of how greenhouse gases trap heat, how the climate system responds to increases in greenhouse gases, and how other human and natural factors influence climate” ("Friends of Science…

CONSERVE FOSSIL FUELS The climate change is a hard situation and a big problem. Everybody is informed about the climate change, everybody knows how climate changes affect our planet, the people and our nature and environment. The biggest reason why we have climate change is because we use fossil fuels. I live an ordinary life, I go to school, I have friends and a good family. Today the majority of people in the world live a good life, we have money and we have food on our table. But how can…

a huge part in climate change. (Evans, McCann, & Morton, 2012) This is because the burning of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases. The greenhouse gases contribute to the warming of the lower atmosphere and hence cause a change in climate. When gas, coal and oil are burned it releases a heat absorbing primary pollutant called carbon dioxide (CO2). Other greenhouse gases include Methane (CH4), Water vapor (H2O) and Nitrous oxide (N2O). (department of the environment, 2014) Carbon dioxide is…

Cause and effects of Climate Change. General purpose: to inform. Specific purpose: After listening my speech my audience will know what is climate change, what causes it and its effects? Thesis Statement: Climate change is a very important issue that affects all of us. Organization pattern: Cause and effect. Introduction: I. (Attention-getter): How do you explain that 30 years ago we had a different weather than today? When you look at yourself in a dirty mirror; can you see your image…
