nitrogen‚ oxygen‚ water vapor‚ and inert gases. We as humans depend on the air around us to live‚ without it we would die. Although we rely on this as an essential source for living‚ it is still littered and polluted with chemicals. Pollution of the atmosphere and the air around us is air pollution‚ and this is becoming more "popular" everyday. There are several main types of air pollution that include smog‚ acid rain‚ the greenhouse effect‚ and "holes" in the ozone layer. The types are extremely harmful

certain climate change is a fact and is currently taking place‚ but are 95% sure it is caused by human action (Bennett‚ 2012). Scientists theorize that human actions‚ like the burning of fossil fuels‚ have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere‚ and as a result‚ have exacerbated the greenhouse effect which in turn has led to higher temperatures. These higher temperatures will have major and devastating effects on the planet and the living organisms that inhabit it. Global climate change

Nobel Prize-winning chemist Svante Arrhenius first proposed the idea of global warming in 1896. Carbon dioxide‚ he knew‚ traps heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. He also knew that burning coal and oil releases carbon dioxide (CO2). Arrhenius speculated that continued burning of coal and oil would increase concentrations of CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere‚ making the planet warmer. It’s called thegreenhouse effect. What warms the Earth? To determine what is causing today’s rapid global warming‚ scientists

to rising of sea level‚ extinction of Polar species‚… and countless of other problems. So how is mankind responsible for Global Warming? First we will answer what is the source of Global Warming? - Green house gases! They form a “shield” in the atmosphere‚ trapping the heat that Earth absorbs from the sun‚ making the Earth gain more heat than it loses‚ leading to

here on Earth is one year on Saturn. Saturn is the only planet in our solar system that is less dense then water. Saturn does not have a solid surface‚ it is liquid. Saturn ’s atmosphere it made up of a mixture of gasses that surround the planet. The storms on Saturn have very high winds. The winds in the upper atmosphere of Saturn are stronger and faster than our most powerful hurricane force winds here on Earth. These winds‚ along with the heat that rises from Saturn ’s interior‚ are what cause

observable evidence of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emission based global warming began in 1975. Most climate scientists agree the main cause of the current global warming trend is human expansion of the “greenhouse effect” warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from earth towards space.Yet the big question standing still is‚ is Global Warming real? Well here’s what you need to know about the warming planet‚ how it’s affecting us‚ and whats at stake. In recent years‚ global warming

If the atmosphere was thick then the objects would take longer to fall. The objects would have a harder time falling through the packed molecules in the atmosphere I think the moon has a different gravity from Earth‚ I think it is more gravity. Hypothesis. If the gravity of the moon is more

Malul Climate Change Climate change means any significant‚ long-term change in the expected patterns of average weather of a specific region‚ or even the whole world over a significant period of time. It describes changes in the state of the atmosphere over time‚ scales ranging from decades to millions of years. Data shows that earth’s average air temperature has changed by about 1.4 degrees fahrenheit (Citation). Climate change is about abnormal variations into the climate‚ and the effects of
