Sulfur dioxide

communities to live greener. By taking emission from power plant that burn nothing but natural gas to be pump into greenhouse. Inside the greenhouse the plant will take in carbon dioxide and water vapors which will produce oxygen.The benefits of this is to reduce coal as a fuel source when you burn coal, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and other chemical are produced. Another ideas is reuse water the we use in the kitchen and restrooms, for agricultural uses. My clans are the…

mixture of gases in our atmosphere, hence resulting in a dramatic increase of acid rain levels. Pollution and burning of fossil fuels are the main causes for acid rain. These human activities cause the release of compounds such as nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide…

recorded by NASA. Human activities that release carbon dioxide and other heat trapping greenhouse gases contribute to climate change. The largest known contribution comes from the burning of fossil fuels- coal, oil, and natural gases for energy, and agriculture. Power stations emit 21.3% harmful gases into the atmosphere. A typical coal plant emits 3.5 million tons of CO2 per year. Coal plants in the US are also the leading source of sulfur dioxide. Burning coal causes smog, acid rain, and toxic…

changing. The first powered gasoline car (Benz Patent-Motorwagen) was made in 1807 and made by Karl Benz. Gasoline is made from fossil fuels, which is released into the atmosphere. When gasoline is burnt it releases carbon dioxide (CO2). The burning of coal releases carbon dioxide into the air. Coal is used to produce electricity and heat. Joseph Fourier found that earth temperature approximately 15 Celsius, the incoming energy and out-coming energy keeps the temperature constant. As a result,…

Control Authority (EPCA) states that with the exception of 38 cities of 7,935 in all of India, the standard fuel used in vehicles is extremely polluting (EPCA). Vehicles produce pollutants including carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, sulfur dioxide, and hydrocarbons which can react with nitrogen oxides to form ground-level ozone that can cause harmful respiratory problems (Motor Vehicle Pollution). India’s coal usage is another major contributor to the air pollution. Again, India’s…

This process helps cool the equator and warm the poles of our planet. Without this process the equator would be much hotter and the poles would be much colder (Causes of Climate Change). Our oceans help with determining the concentration of carbon dioxide within our atmosphere; therefore, a change in our oceans current could result in a change of our climate. Our sun provides our earth with the energy it needs for its climate system. Although the amount of energy we receive from our sun appears…

Biomass vs Fossil Fuels: Which is Better? Most people won’t argue with you when you say that fossil fuels are the least beneficial source of energy. But if you say that biomass, an alternative power source, is more beneficial than fossil fuels, some may disagree. How can a source of alternative energy not be better than fossil fuels? Let us try to understand the differences of these two and decide after if one is really better than the other. Origins Fossil fuels and biomass actually both…

In Earth’s history before the Industrial Revolution, Earth’s climate changed due to natural causes not humans. In most cases, global climate has changed because of differences in sunlight. Tiny movements in Earth’s orbit changed when and where sunlight hits the Earth. Differences in the Sun have increased and decreased the amount of solar energy reaching Earth. Volcanic activity has also, in the past, increased greenhouse gases over millions of years which has contributed to global warming.…

Human activity has a great impact on global warming. Events, such as burning fossil fuels, contributes much of the carbon dioxide that is emitted into the atmosphere. Global warming effects caused by human activity affects the earth 's climate in many ways. It is melting the earth 's poles, glaciers and ice sheets which causes sea levels to rise. It is also shifting climates and precipitation patterns and is forcing animals to migrate. Global warming is caused by the Greenhouse Effect. The sun…

the greenhouse gases released as individuals burn fossil fuels. Global warming is because of the enhancing greenhouse gases emission and build-up in the Earth's environment. The gasses that have an impact on the atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, dinitrogen-oxide, and methane. Very nearly 30 percent of incoming sunlight is reflected back into space by bright surfaces like clouds and ice. In the other 70 percent, most are consumed by the land and ocean, and the rest is absorbed by the…
