Transitional fossil

To begin, all data collected from figures 1, 2, and 3 are from the carbon dioxide analysis information center (cdaic). After reviewing the data of CO2 emissions for the country of Indonesia, there are a few details which grabbed my attention. The first feature noticed was the year of 1921 in which gas first began to emit in Indonesia. This effected the beginning of the graph/data totals, resulting with lower numbers (shown in figure 3). Liquid was by far the largest contributor for Indonesia…

acid rain and pollutants in the air. Acid rain is essentially rainfall made acidic due to atmospheric pollution that causes environmental harm, typically to forests and lakes. The main cause of this dilemma is the industrial burning of coal and other fossil fuels, and the waste gases produced in this process contains sulfur and nitrogen oxides, which combine with atmospheric water to form harmful acids. Acid rain does not have a direct effect on…

Not Worth the Negative Environmental Effects Offshore oil drilling should not be carried on because it is too much of an environmental risk based on its’ harmful effect on marine ecosystems, climate, and coastal communities. First, offshore oil drilling should be stopped because it is a hazard to marine ecosystems. For example, “As of August 31, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon spill had killed 81 marine mammals, 5, 401 birds, and 553 sea turtles” (Mooney, 46). Oil spills kill thousands of birds…

energy has been obtained through fossil fuels and this form of energy has allowed for many of the greatest creations on the Earth today. However, this age of fossil fuels is coming to an abrupt end due to the increasingly limited supply of these substances such as coal and oil. As these resources become scarcer they also become more expensive to excavate and use. This cost induced economic strain coupled with increased demand and the imminent exhaustion of fossil fuels has ushered in the…

In the documentary “The Impact of Global Warming” it showed many ways of how global warming can effect and is effect our society and our planet. One of the impacts of global warming that the documentary addressed was the rise in sea level. There are many causes that effect the rise in sea level but one specific effect is the melting of glaciers and ice caps. When our temperature increases dramatically high it causes many of the glaciers that are situated across the globe to melt, whether its…

How mankind is razing the beauty of nature down with its action! What has become the world we have been living on for thousands of years? It started with dinosaurs and a meteor end it. Then a new beginning raise, mankind was born. The right terminology to define humans is that they come from the ape’s branch but what set them apart is their complex brain which function as a gun with unlimited power to imagination and creation. They have abuse that power thru so many decades that nowadays is…

Renewable power for electricity production is a largely controversial topic in Australia, with benefits and detriments ranging environmentally, politically and financially. Producing about 23 percent of the world 's energy needs, coal-burning is a cost-efficient way for Australia to create electricity, however there are negative impacts to coal-burning, such as its harmful fumes and damaging emissions. Clean alternatives to coal-power, despite being costly, already exist and are widely used…

development swiftly influenced our dependence on fossil fuels. Massive consumption of oil, coal, and gas drastically transformed our settlements into powerhouses for further progression. We now have electricity for lighting, gasoline for transportation, and coal for power sources. However, fossil fuels are being consumed at a rate faster than we can recover. The only possible key is to achieve a more balanced energy mix between mass burning of fossil fuels and clean renewable energy. In this…

discussing the beneficial and non-beneficial of fuel cells and associating it with fossil fuels. But first, you might query what fuel cells and fossil is? Well fuel cell is an electrochemical energy stratagem that converts hydrogen fuel as well as oxygen to produce electricity, heat and water. While on the other hand fossil fuel are the products fossils that are really old. For instance the animal and plant fossils but however, the three main sources of fuel are coal, natural gas and…

and analyzing the earth, they came up with the term known as Global warming. Global Warming can be defined as “the unusual and frequent increase in the earth’s temperature over time, primarily due to the greenhouse gases released by people burning fossil fuels. Looking back to the history of the earth, it has experience several changes; climate has been one of the major factor that has greatly impacted the earth.” (Riebeek, para 1). Another definition by Maria Trimarchi simply states…
