Ozone layer

Andrew Heywood ENG 1101 Larson August 24, 2015 Climate Change and the Arctic Earth is a self-sustaining system that is built to cleanse and rehabilitate its own environment. Due to our interactions with the environment, producing mass amounts of greenhouse gases and releasing chemical waste, we are slowly tearing the Earth apart faster than it can repair itself. One effect this has created is climate change. Climate change has caused much of Earth’s environment to degrade, the Arctic being the…

The light we see from the sun is not exactly the light that comes to the earth from the sun. We see sunlight as being whitish in color, but it actually is a blend of the colors of the rainbow. The reason we see it this way has to do with the way our eyes perceive color. This is because, “Our eye contains three kinds of light-sensitive cells, each sensing a different band of colors--one band centered in the red, one in the green and one in the blue” (“(S-4) The Many Colors of Sunlight,” 2006).…

world .The Pollution has many causes with serious harmful effects on all forms of life in the earth . The air pollution is caused by many factors like vehicle emissions , factories waste products and burning trash resulting in damage to ; The ozone layer , acid rain , damaging crops and harming human health . Generally, air pollution causes could be the same around the world but there’s specific causes limited to some countries like industrial countries for example in Egypt ; This country …

Air pollution is among the major contributors to the depletion of the ozone layer that protects the earth from the harmful effects of the sun’s UV rays. By polluting the environment we cause rain from the clouds to be contaminated (acid rain) this rain normally harms trees, contaminate the soil, rivers and also affect the wildlife…

P2 Describe how over extracting raw materials causes global pollution Pollution is when pollutants (usually green house gases) are released into our atmosphere and contaminate it. Green house gases are the pollutants that are commonly known for contributing to global warming. When extracting raw materials from our earth we do more damage than we think, in order to build our desired project we must take our materials from the earth. This process is known as the extraction of raw materials In…

the main causes of air pollutions, and air pollution caused a big problem to human health especially children. Air pollution can cause global warning which lead to change in weather and effect on wildlife habitats, air pollution also damaged the ozone layer which is our protection against ultraviolet and other stuffs from outer space. I did learn a lot about air pollutions throughout the research; it was very interesting to know how children that are living in polluted area have to deal with…

Our earth is consisted of biological importance that affects our daily life. We have invented and innovated several practices to help maintain an environmental yet economic status. Clear cutting is a prime example of this similar method. Clear cutting also known as clear felling is a logging practice in which every tree is cut down from a selected area (Clear-Cutting). This method is the most common method yet the most controversial. This practice has several effects on the economy and the…

Topic: The use of methyl bromide (an ozone depleting gas) as a fumigant to control pests Introduction Methyl Bromide, also known as Bromomethane, is an organobromine compound. It is a industrially and biologically produced gas that is colorless, odorless and nonflammable. It has the chemical formula of CH3Br, but it is manufactured by using methanol with hydrogen bromide, giving the formula CH3OH + HBr → CH3Br + H2O. Methyl Bromide is also a broad spectrum pesticide, which means that it is a…

You may also not be aware there are three different types of UV radiation, each emitting a different wavelength: UVA Radiation: That “A” on the end stands for aging, by the way! UVA has wavelengths between 320 and 400 nm that can penetrate deep layers of the skin.…
