    Global Warming The climate system of Earth responds to changes in external factors that are able to push the climate towards warming or cooling. These factors include changes in atmosphere composition (concentration of greenhouse gases), volcanic eruptions, and solar activity changes. All of these factors combined create current tendency of climate change that is described by the term “global warming”. Global warming is the continuous rise in average temperature of Earth's climate system.…

    worldwide is produced by burning of fossil fuels. Many gases are sent into the air when fossil fuels are burnt of which main is the carbon dioxide gas. Fossil fuel like coal is burnt to produce electricity. Coal is the major fuel that is burnt to produce power. Coal produces around 1.7 times as much carbon dioxide per unit of energy when flamed as does natural gas and 1.25 times as much as…

    How Is Global Warming Affecting the Polar Bears? As changes in climatic temperatures melt sea ice, the US Geological Survey predicted that two-thirds of the polar bear population will die out by the year 2050. A dramatic decline in polar bears is already occurring in our lifetime, which, according to historical data, is but a very small fraction of the time these animals have roamed the vast seas of the Arctic. The main threat to the polar bears is the loss of their sea-ice habitat that is…

    The agronomic production function approach begins with the primary correlation between climate and crop production. Via studies, agronomists have adjusted models which forecast the produce of specific crops determined by weather patterns. These imitation models have long been utilized to forecast changes in produce for specific crops. The results from these models is then integrated into an economic model of farmer behavior, which in turn leads to a partial equilibrium model of the farm sector.…

    Abstract Snow avalanches pose a significant hazard to human populations and infrastructure in mountainous regions. Snow avalanches are the abruptly down slope movement of snow, ice, and associated debris such as rocks, and earth material. The forces generated by large avalanches can damage most man-made structures. Avalanche impacts in India, includes fatilities, is summarize for public and residential area like ski areas, roads, and resource industries. Avalanche hazard methods, in which…

    compression-ignition engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the compression to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber. This contrasts with spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline), which use a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture. The diesel engines have the highest thermal efficiency in any internal or external combustion engine because of its very…
