Stratosphere

The Norse Greenland civilization began in 986 C.E. and lasted until the early 1500s. It was founded by Erik the Red, who first explored it in 982 C.E. after getting kicked out of Norway and Iceland for manslaughter. He was the person that led to first settlers of Greenland there, where they established three settlements; the largest being the eastern settlement, the second greatest was the western settlement, and the smallest was the middle settlement. The eastern settlement was by far the…

technique is supposed to be used for the analysis of carcinogenic substances, their impact on human health and environment. Due to the application of this system, author suggest its use for analysis of higher parts of atmosphere, troposphere and stratosphere, because this is where the most of reactions of decomposition happen due to the interaction with ultra-violet light. The real time analysis is beneficial for collection of large data sets on the possible processes occurring in atmosphere and…

levels in the northern hemisphere by as much as 30 to 70 percent”. A 2014 report published in the journal Earth's Future found that “even a regional war of 100 nuclear detonations would produce 5 teragrams of black soot that would rise up to Earth's stratosphere and block sunlight. This would produce a sudden drop in global temperatures that could last longer than 25 years and temporarily destroy much of the Earth's protective ozone layer. This could also cause as much as an 80% increase in UV…

by destroying the natural world such as the trees, the forests, the sea, changing the climate and even indirectly eradicating the American Civilization. As can be seen from the reality, the firestorms from nuclear explosions inject soot into the stratosphere where they block direct sunlight from reaching the surface of the Earth and it is responsible for low temperature on the Earth. The Anthropocene is not just about global warming, decreasing the temperature also has serious outcomes and one…

The Party is not interested in the overt act; the thought is all we care about” (Orwell 414). The Party’s true intentions to quash conflicting become even more coherent when O’Brien proclaims: “We shall turn you into gas and pour you into the stratosphere. Nothing will remain of you: not a name in a register, not a memory in a living brain. You will be annihilated in the past as well as in the future. You will never have existed” (Orwell 416). The Party seeks not only victory over its enemies,…

Zachary Campanelli Gsci-131 Final Paper Mount Tambora is a volcano located on the northern coast of Sumbawa Island, Indonesia. The volcanic eruption in April 1815 is the largest recorded eruption in history. Mount Tambora forms the 60 kilometer long Sanggar Peninsula, previously standing at a height of approximately 5000 meters high. After the eruption, the volcano lost most of it’s top, now standing at 2,851 meters. Today the volcano still remains active. Smaller eruptions have taken place in…

With the ice caps melting, and the planet’s ozone layer depleting, mankind could be driving the Earth to extinction. The study of the earth and how it works allows scientists to develop new ways to try to save the Earth. While many debate the existence of climate change, it is a very real thing causing harm to our planet. The use of fossil fuels, and the development of new alternative energy sources could be the solution. Climate Change One of the biggest factors changing our earth is global…

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…

Arctic Oscillation Weather Anomaly The Arctic Oscillation (AO) is a two-phase climate pattern circulating in the Artic region and the mid-latitude regions of Earth. This oscillation pattern is the second largest on Earth, with the El Niño/La Niña cycle being the largest. While these weather patterns are a normal part of the Earth’s climate system, scientists continually monitor fluctuations in the AO to determine its natural state versus the man-made impact through global warming. The…

In Adam Hochschild’s book King Leopold's Ghost, he reveals the gruesome bloodshed that went on hidden behind King Leopold's deceit from around 1895-1908. This novelistic narrative, focuses on King Leopold II merciless pillage around the Congo River. While King Leopold II created a holocaust of his own, he kept up his reputation in Belgium as a great humanitarian. While Leopold was killing millions of Congolese around the Congo, most Europeans believed he was funding projects and putting a stop…
