Global Warming Global warming occurs when the levels of greenhouse gasses rise and less infrared light‚ or heat‚ escapes the earth’s atmosphere. Thus‚ the temperature experienced on Earth begins to rise. Climate change is a part of the Earth’s history. There have been dramatic fluctuations in overall average temperature for the past 150‚000 years that suggest a direct association with carbon dioxide levels. In the past the temperature highs and lows have been in tandem with carbon dioxide level

reasoning into 5 parts. The list is as follows‚ * Atmosphere * Climate * Water * Light * Sun Atmosphere As of now Earth is the only planet that has an atmosphere where lives can strive. What I mean by that is‚ Oxygen being the gas that is required for the life of most creatures. This is present in Earth’s atmosphere and also in water. Oxygen is constantly put into the atmosphere by plants and trees. Earth’s atmosphere also contains a small amount of carbon dioxide. This

C1 TOPIC 1 – THE EARTH’S SEA AND ATMOSPHERE THE EVOLUTION OF THE ATMOSPHERE. Phase 1 – Volcanoes gave out gases. 1) The Earth’s surface was originally molten‚ it was very hot. 2) Eventually the surface cooled down and a bit crust formed. Volcanoes kept erupting. 3) Volcanoes gave out gases: CO2‚ water vapour and small amounts of other gases. (water and oceans formed) 4) The early atmosphere: mostly CO2‚ with no oxygen. 5) The oceans formed when the water vapour condensed.

It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. This hurts many people‚ animals‚ and plants. The greenhouse effect is when the temperature rises because the sun’s heat and light is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a very hot day‚ the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the

average temperature of Earth ’s atmosphere and oceans. We really should be aware about this and be more thoughtful on this subject‚ we do not reason on what happened and we are more neglected throwing garbage and not taking care of the environment. Global Warming The average temperature of Earth has been warming up since 1840‚ coinciding with the start of the industrial revolution. However‚ we can not establish a cause and effect relations‚ because the atmosphere does not react so quickly. During

descendants: carbon dioxide lasts a long time in the atmosphere‚ climate change takes a long time to occur‚ and loss of species diversity is permanent on human time scales. In the particular case of climate change‚ the international community has committed itself‚ through the Framework Convention on Climate Change (signed in Rio in 1994 and ratified by 150 nations‚ including the United States)‚ to “stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic

There is a boundary where each layer ends and a new one begins and a name is given to this boundary – a pause. Distinct temperature differences are found within each layer. For example‚ at the stratopause‚ the temperature stops increasing with altitude

This is a very popular issue all over the world. In order to learn more about global warming‚ we should go through what makes the earth warm and how warming affects the earth.

England‚ 1984. The aim of these researchers was to look at the incapacitating effect of fire atmospheres paying particular attention to the effects of sub-lethal concentrations of Hydrogen cyanide (HCN). These researchers were concerned with discovering which fire atmosphere components were likely contributors to toxicity by comparing the effects of atmospheres made with Polyacrylonitrile to HCN gas atmospheres on monkeys. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is a fibre commonly used as padding and other fabrics
