    water soluble (mainly sulfur oxide) to the ground. The water cycle itself is not harmed by acid rain, as only the rain part is acidic. The acid is absorbed into the ground and becomes part of the ocean or soil. If the ocean becomes too acidic however, the cycle can become very acidic; as ocean evaporation would potentially contain acidic properties that would rain down again. Oxidation Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides enter the atmosphere via emissions from the combustion of sulfur-containing…

    temperature of the earth has risen over the past one decade. Many man-made and natural processes cause the global warming that continues to affect our environment. Greenhouse gases are the main cause of global warming. Human beings have raised carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with their activities, such as deforestation, and burning fossil fuels. The other major causes of global warming is population growth, pollution, and industrialization. These changes are resulting rise in sea level, melting…

    THE DIMENSIONS OF POLLUTIONS AND RESOURCES DEPLETION. ABSTRACT In this topic we will look at the dimensions of pollution and resources depletion. For pollution we will get to know the definition of pollution. Rather than that, we will know each types of pollution and each definition of this. Then we will look further into the cause, effect and solution for each pollution in this topic. Lastly we will discuss about the resources depletion effect occur by human activity. INTRODUCTION Environmental…

    The primary cause of climate change is the increased emission of greenhouse gasses by human processes. The most significant greenhouse gasses include carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor and nitrous oxide. In order to understand the effect greenhouse gasses have on the earth, one must comprehend how energy enters and exits the atmosphere. The sun constantly emits short wave radiation. This radiation can be dangerous…

    Plate tectonics play a fundamental role in climate change around the globe. More than 200 million years ago, the continents were merged together as one giant landmass called Pangaea (Cosmato,2016). As the continents moved, their positions on Earth changed, and so did the movements of ocean currents. Both of these changes had effects on climate. Plate tectonics affect climate by different movements (vertical and lateral) both in which affect air circulation. Vertical movement of the surface…
