Modified atmosphere

The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are those that absorb and emit infrared radiation in the wavelength range emitted by Earth. The majority of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and chlorofluorocarbons. The first person to argue for the greenhouse effect was Joseph Fourier in…

On the night of July 1, 2015 in the east Tennessee town of Maryville (Blount County) a CSX train carrying a toxic/flammable material, derailed and caught fire which resulted in the evacuation of many residents within a two mile radius of the accident scene. The train was traveling from Cincinnati, Ohio to Waycross, Georgia when it derailed. Around 5,000 residents were evacuated including nearby businesses. The ruptured tanker car was carrying 24,000 gallons of acrylonitrile which is a colorless,…

reason for this is due to the fact that the colder water of the Antarctic flows down towards the tropics and mixes with the warmer water which results in the two different temperatures mixing and cooling down not only the surface water but also that atmosphere. Sadly though even though this great system is put into place naturally to cool down the earth and keep it in homeostasis this system is being threatened by our human activity on the planet (“Captain Cousteau” 17). During the roaring…

The story "Apocaltptigirl" by Andrew Maclean takes place in post-apocalyptic world. The main charters in the story are Aria and her cat Jelly Beans. In the beginning of the visual novel we see the Aria going through a city full of vegetation growing in the buildings. Aria seems to be working on a robot, but later in she tells the story between the fighting of the graybeards and blue stripes. Later on the story we find out that that her mission is to find some type of object; however, she gets…

Our product Evapor-Paint is a problem solving paint for any home renter, teacher, or college student. We have designed a product that allows you to paint whatever you wish, but not having to commit to it. With Evapor-Paint, you can remove your creation with water and will be gone within a day. Most people who are in a temporary living space are not able to express themselves in their homes, our product gives them that freedom. The positive fact about Evapor-Paint is that their is not a huge…

On a more preferable note, Earth has had moderate atmosphere primarily, hence warm enough for abundant liquid water and large enough gravity to shun losing it. However, the Faint–Young Sun Paradox [02] indicates that our sun has been 25-30% dimmer during the stellar evolution period than its luminosity or intensity today. This refutes Earth having a moderate atmosphere earlier as a dimmer sun would have frozen its surface. But the evidence show that Earth has not been frozen since 4 billion…

The atmosphere presses down on the earth an average of about 14.7 pounds of weight on every square inch it touches. Most people’s shoulders have an area of 12 square inches. So overall, the weight pressing on your shoulders is equaled out to be 176 pounds! This is called atmosphere pressure. Now it certainly doesn’t feel like there is 176 pounds pressing on me all day long, but there is an equal pressure pushing on me from all sides, including from within. In this experiment, we will…

(SLIDE 1) Good morning, for those of you whom I haven’t spoken to outside of class- my name is Fiona. This essay (presentation) will focus solely on gravity anomalies of sedimentary basins and their mechanical implications. (SLIDE 2)The general structure of this presentation shall be presented in the following manner:- - Definitions - Introductory knowledge - Bouguer anomaly - Case Study: Ross River Basin - Questions (SLIDE 3)- By definition, a gravity anomaly is the dissimilarity concerning…

Moody's Diner Moody's Diner is a small homey restaurant, catering to those who live on Maines mid-coast and serving the hundreds of tourists that appear each summer to enjoy Maine's beautiful scenery. You can enter from one of two sides, both entering into a mid sized alcove to wait and be seated. In this area you can look at key chains, post cards and dozens of other assorted trinkets catering to these tourists. As you wait you can observe the counter, and a bar with a glass display shelf…

The issue my group and I are discussing about is global warming. Global warming is described as an increase in the earth’s average temperature that is caused by an increase in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. Scientist have labeled humans to be the main cause for global warming. We believe global warming is a problem because it causes the sea level to rise, extinction of animals, and pollution. Most scientists agree that humans are the main reason for the development of…
