Gases

The Kinetic Molecular Theory explains why gases behave the way they do. It explains how gas particles are in constant motion and create collisions that results in pressure. The theory is split up into four different postulates. Number one explains how gases are made up of tiny particles. To prove that those particles take up space, postulate #2 tells us that the particles collide with each other and those collisions make pressure. Pressure can either expand or shrink a flexible container,…

the most interesting are poison gases, tanks, and flamethrowers. All of these were common weapons in the war. Poison gases were risky, especially if the user was inexperienced or did not know how much to use. Difficulties did not only come from the gases. The tanks had very limited success because they got stuck in mud. Also, the flamethrowers were difficult to move around. However, each of these had a positive side and helped the countries who used them. Poison gases were commonly used by the…

Earth is a planet that has relatively stable temperatures. This is possible because of Earth’s atmosphere as it consists of a thin layer of gases that forms a “cloak” around the planet. There are 97 percent of climate scientists that agrees that people on Earth has changed its atmosphere in a considerable way over the past two centuries. The results of this is due to the greenhouse effect that causes global warming (Lallanila, 2015b). But what is the greenhouse effect? What is the greenhouse…

simple and low-cost solution to the copious amount of trash that people accumulate; however, these dome-shaped dumps seriously harm people and the environment. In fact, studies have shown that living too close to a landfill and inhaling the toxic gases that landfills are known to release has proven to cause various forms of cancer. The composition of a landfill, crucial to the safety of the environment, consists…

with human behavior is the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a rise of the earth’s temperature. Some gases in the greenhouse…

The Greenhouse Effect This paper will revolve around the the Greenhouse effect and its effect on all things around it. Basically our environment has all these gases in it that are bad and good. The basic idea is that there are gases in our atmosphere that are unable to leave and it just continue to build indefinitely. The earth 's temperature then starts rising and rising and until it is said that eventually it will cause everything to waste away.. This gradual rise of the Earth 's temperature,…

2 Geog200 My essay on Kyoto protocol Introduction: Greenhouse gases are primarily made of water vapor and other elements such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide [1]. This gas is emitted mostly by energy plants, transportation vehicles and deforestation. In a huge amount, it acts like a thermal blanket for the Earth conserving the heat which leads to important environmental problems such as global warming [2]. These gases are generated by all nations and some nations are bigger…

greenhouse effect. Greenhouse Gasses: Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect. According to A Student’s Guide to Climate Change, the major greenhouse gasses present in the atmosphere are, carbon dioxide, making up around 64.3% of all greenhouse gasses, methane, making up around 17.0% of all greenhouse gases, nitrous oxide, which is around 6.0% of all greenhouse gases, fluorinated…

industrialization have a direct impact on global warming with the increased production of greenhouse gases. What is global warming? In short, it is the raise in temperature of Earth’s surface, caused by the gases carbon dioxide, methane, dinitrogen and chlorofluorocarbons. For contrast, oxygen and nitrogen are gases that will not trap heat and are therefore not greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. You see, the sun provides energy in the form of solar radiation;…

climate to become unbalanced. The temperature increases when certain greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere which traps heat in. These greenhouse gases consist of CO2, Methane and Nitrous Oxide. This process is called the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is when heat is trapped in and isn’t able to be released easily. Before humans started producing greenhouse gases, nature were creating these gases as well. Even though they were producing the gas, it was at a sustained level…
