Global warming potential

Energy is one of the most important material sources for modern human survival. If there is no energy, our world will be drown in the endless darkness; if there is no energy, human beings cannot get over the cold winter, as well as hot summer; if there is no energy, all the modern vehicles will lose the source of power, human beings cannot move fast between different districts around the world. Therefore, the development and utilization of energy is under consideration by every country around…

Abstract As vehicular pollution is increasing in the environment because of the hazardous CO2 and other carbon compound emissions and other harmful pollutants that are emitted by the vehicles puts a negative impact on the atmosphere. Society has been making a large effort to make everything green and cleaner in today’s world, including transportation. Buying a car is big investment and requires the consideration of many different variables. With the growing interest in saving our planet, many…

It's evident that temperature is rising which as a result causes us to experience a lot of abnormal climate changes worldwide. The cause of this increase of temperature is the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is constructed by water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone.The greenhouse effect is when the gasses trap the sunlight, not making them bounce back to space, which creates the atmosphere to warm, thus making Earth hotter. What’s responsible for realising a large amount of…

65,000,000 years ago, an entire species was killed off. There are so many different theories of how the dinosaurs dissapeared. There are many different ways to explain the extinction which took place 65 million years ago. One of the main reasons was the possibility of a sudden change in the climate or atmosphere. For instance, a nearby supernova explosion could heat up the upper atmosphere, disturbing the ozone layer. Disturbing the ozone layer could produce large ice clouds which would cool…

“Most hurricanes rage harmlessly in the sea”(Hurricane-Facts.com). Some hurricanes hit in the sea and some do not. Hurricanes use the warm ocean water as fuel.

or they do not think addressing population and globalization are economically doable, it is still a real problem. Thomas Friedman wrote the book Hot, Flat, and Crowded, which describes these issues and solutions to prevent them. Hot describes global warming, climate change and inefficiency in the energy industries. Flat is caused by globalization, how more people living in third world countries want to live the ideal American life, wasteful and inefficient. Lastly, our world is crowded: the…

Assignment 1 1. An environmental problem that Ohio is currently facing and has dealt with for an extended period of time is the invasion of Emerald Ash Borer. The ash tree-killing insect was brought to the United States from Asia and has been recorded in the state since 2003. Ohio has over 3.8 billion ash trees and the pest is a severe threat to their livelihood. Emerald Ash Borer originally was observed near Toledo, but has expanded to nearly all four corners of the state. A quarantine was…

As you view slide #2, name three landforms that you see in the slide, which were caused by glacial erosion. Arête, Cirque, Horn 2. Explain how Pater Noster Lakes form. The lake is formed by carving out the valleys beds and a single stream flow from one end to the other. 3. Slide #9 shows a stream channel associated with an ice sheet. What is the name of the deposit left behind by this type of stream? The deposit that is left behind this stream is called alpine glacier. 4. What is the…

How do two countries have pollution so severe that the population is merely sustainable for living in the conditions? Sixteen of the cities located in China are the targets for immense amounts of pollution, and while there were tasks attained to clear it up, there were no long-term effects. India has found it difficult to clean up their air pollution because they are afraid that it will slow down their economic growth. Environmental issues in the countries of India and China have made a…
