Fossil Fuels Greenhouse Gases
405 wordsGlobal Warming We have an obligation to weigh the risks of inaction against the cost of action. In that regard, global warming is no different than any other problem. But global warming is novel in one respect. It brings with it the possibility of global disaster, and we have only one Earth to experiment on. Michael Oppenheimer, Senior Scientist of the Environmental Defense Fund The glass panes of a greenhouse and the Earths atmosphere are both transparent to sunlight-they let in the suns energy...

Earth Surface Rise In Sea Level
802 wordsGlobal Warming Global Warming, aside from pollution is one of scientists biggest concerns. Global Warming is caused by the Greenhouse effect. There are 4 steps in the Greenhouse effect. 1 -Sunlight radiates from the sun, through space, to earth? s atmosphere. 2 - the sunlight enters the atmosphere and hits Earth. Some of it turns into heat energy in the form of infrared light. The heat gets absorbed by surrounding air and land, which in turn makes it warm. 3 - Infrared rays, which are remitted i...

Plants And Animals Global Warming
709 wordsGlobal warming refers to the increase in average ground temperatures on earth. These higher temperatures across the planet are caused by an intensification of the greenhouse effect. Before recent scientific inquiries into this phenomenon, the greenhouse Effect simply referred to the natural process by which the earths atmosphere traps heat and warms the planet to a livable temperature. This heat trapping, however, has begun to escalate to possibly dangerous levels. Scientists have attributed thi...

Light Waves Light Rays
1,064 wordsToss a pebble in a pond -see the ripples? Now drop two pebbles close together. Look at what happens when the two sets of waves combine -you get a new wave! When a crest and a trough meet, they cancel out and the water goes flat. When two crests meet, they produce one, bigger crest. When two troughs collide, they make a single, deeper trough. Believe it or not, youve just found a key to understanding how a hologram works. But what do waves in a pond have to do with those amazing three- dimensiona...

Hydrothermal Vents Hydrogen Sulfide
580 wordsHydrothermal Vents are considered by scientists to be very unique and complex communities of organisms. The reason for this is due to the fact that unlike most other organisms, Hydrothermal Vents are not powered by the sun s energy. Most organisms on the Earth+s surface depend on plants to produce nutrients from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis. These communities are unique in that they depend on a different food-making process other than photosynthesis. Bacteria at the vents make...

Source Of Energy Earths Surface
683 wordsAll life on Earth depends on energy from the sun. Solar energy is the source of energy for photosynthesis. It provides the warmth necessary for plants and animals to survive. The heat from the sun causes water on the Earths surface to evaporate and form clouds that eventually provide fresh rainwater. Solar energy is the result of thermonuclear fusion reactions deep within the sun. These reactions produce so much energy that they keep the surface temperature of the sun at about 10, 300 B 0 F. Eve...

H 2 O Carbon Dioxide
546 wordsPhotosynthesis Photosynthesis means putting together with light. This takes place in chloroplasts, which have chlorophyll in them. Chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight. From sunlight, green plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen. Green plants use sugar to make starch, fats and proteins. These are tiny pores called stomata. Stomata are plant spores, which enable gas exchanges to take, place, and water to vapor to be lost. This has the benefit of moving water up the plane in ...
