How does the Earth’s Water Cycle works? The water cycle is a process in which Earth’s water never stops moving by three steps evaporation, condensation and precipitation. Water is if not the most one of the most important components of life. Water defines how most ecosystems are. The water cycle is also connected by several ways to every other system in Earth. What is the water cycle? Water in Earth is always in movement, but how does it move. The water cycle also known as the hydrological…

science. Meanwhile, in 1970 the National Environmental Policy Act required a shuttle program office to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement. That same year James Lovelock documented the widespread presence of chlorofluorocarbons in the Earth’s troposphere. If love lock was right, there were no chemical processes or sinks that could remove CFCs from the lower atmosphere. Rowland and Molin argued they would finally decompose under the impact of ultraviolet radiation, where it would be…

Two of the most diverse geographies in the world are both Slovakia, in Europe, and Columbia, in South America. Each one of these countries has certain similarities in terms of the four spheres of the physical environment (the Lithosphere, Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, and Biosphere), while they differ significantly. Although the two are located in different countries, the four spheres contribute to how distinct each country’s geography is and how they impact everyday life. To begin, the country of…

The planets in the solar system are divided into terrestrial and jovian planets. They are different in their position, composition and other features. First of all, let us see what are the jovian and the terrestrial planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are the jovian planets. Mercury, Venus and Earth are the terrestrial planets. One of the main differences that can be seen between terrestrial and jovian planets, is their surfaces. While the terrestrial planets are made of solid surfaces,…

temperature in the troposphere that may lead to climate change. Global climate change is a much broader term that discusses changes in any part of the climate on Earth. These changes could occur in temperature, precipitation, or storm intensity. A change in global climate could be a warning or a cooling of the temperature. Often associated with global warming is the Greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere can trap and hold heat from the sun. Temperatures in the troposphere are…

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…

There have been so many deadly tropical storms, here is a list of the most devastating and costly. One named hurricane Opal hit Florida, Alabama, and Tennessee in 1995. It’s damage cost $5.1 billion. In 2003 hurricane Isabel hit North Carolina and impacted other banks. It costed $5.3 billion. Another was hurricane Floyd which was especially catastrophic because of the rain causing extreme flooding. It hit North Carolina and up the east coast as a Cat. 2 and travelled North. It’s damage was $6.9…

caused by solar energy heating the equator, this causes warm moist air to rise towards the Tropopause dumping rain in terrestrial biomes such as the Tropical Rainforest. After the air has risen and lost most of its moisture it travels along the troposphere whilst being…

Byproducts of Rising Global Temperature The terms global warming and climate change are often thought of as interchangeable, while they are to some extent, particularly within the context of politics, in science the terms are taken more literally. As discussed earlier, the scientific community is in agreement with regards to the fact that global temperatures are increasing. So calling the phenomenon global warming is not technically incorrect, however, global warming does not encompass the…

less than the dry adiabatic lapse rate because the air parcel cools slower when heat is released. The wet adiabatic lapse is not constant and changes with temperature and pressure (Hanna,S.R.,et.al.,1982). However, the average value in the middle troposphere is taken approximately as -6 to -70C /…
