Greenhouse Gases Greenhouse Effect
412 wordsIs global warming real? Im sure this seems like quite an absurd question to many people. With the accumulation of hard evidence for global warming and our supercharging greenhouse effect most people have already taken for granted that the problem truly exists. There are, however, a small, almost unheard of group of people who are convinced otherwise. One such person is William Robert Johnston. His article on web clearly shows his scepticism towards global warming. He has come up with his own evi...

Ground Level Ozone Environmental Protection Agency
1,441 wordsAir pollution is a very big problem in the United States. A large part of air pollution comes from cars. The Environmental Protection Agency says, "The most polluting activity an average person does everyday is drive their car" (1 fact sheet OMS- 5). Most people probably aren't aware that they are polluting the environment. Maybe if everyone knew how serious this pollution problem is, they would find ways to reduce the pollution. Most pollution that is released by cars comes from the exhaust, ma...

Nuclear Energy Nuclear Power
732 wordsIn this essay I am going to discuss Rutherford's impact on science and nuclear energy. Also share some of my opinions about the usage of nuclear power. Ernest Rutherford was a physicist and a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry. He became known as the father of nuclear physics. He is best known for being the first man to split the atom and the discovery of the proton. Another important fact about Rutherford's scientific career was that he mentored 9 students who went onto win Nobel Prizes later on i...

Dont Understand Global Warming
1,161 wordsSomething akin to panic is communicated onto my sterile computer screen, then my furrowed brow and soon my troubled mind when I sit alone, in the dark of my room and explore ideas and possibilities. Turning the light on and the computer off doesnt dissolve my disturbed mood; nothing does until the outside can creep in and warm me. Its usually a human voice; something more real than the essays and articles I read on global warming and remote ice caps that melt slowly every year. The fear settles ...

Valence Electrons Solar Cells
1,438 wordsIntroduction Our world has been in existence for billions of years and throughout all those years we have used the sun for basic energy needs. So why not be able to harness that energy and use it to power things like our homes or our cars? Many scientist have been developing alternate forms of energy called Green Energy. Green power is the solution to creating a cleaner, sustainable energy system. Renewable energy -- power from the sun, wind, plants, and moving water -- is a natural way to meet ...

Burning Of Fossil Fuels Humans And Animals
668 wordsCarbon Dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas that occurs in small quantities in the earths atmosphere naturally. The earths ocean, soil, plants and animals release CO 2. The formula of Carbon Dioxide is CO 2. The CO 2 molecule contains 2 oxygen atoms that each share 2 electrons with a carbon atom to form 2 carbon oxygen double bonds. The atoms are arranged as so (OHT). This is called a linear molecule. Carbon dioxide is commonly found as a gas and is never a liquid. It sublimes to a solid known a...

Great Barrier Reef Coral Reefs
1,353 wordsCoral reef Coral reefs are arguably the world s most beautiful habitats. Coral reefs have been called the rainforests of the oceans, because of the rich diversity of life they support. Scientists have not yet finished counting the thousands of different species of plants and animals that use or live in the coral reef. There are three types of coral reefs: fringing reefs, barrier reefs, and atolls. Fringing reefs are located close to shore, separated from land by only shallow water. Barrier reefs...

Massive structures provide a canopy that shelters hundreds of exotic species in a myriad of microclimate's. As land-based observers, we almost automatically assume that this is a description of the rich ecosystem of a tropical rainforest. However, if we take ourselves off the safety of dry land and immerse ourselves in the ocean, we will...

Gas And Dust Carbon Dioxide
1,584 wordsAsteroids sling through space, celestial debris of diverse origins, leftovers from the formation of the solar system, broken offshoots of parental asteroids or comets that have lost their glow. But if an asteroid were to smash into Earth, the result would mean a global catastrophe and life on our Planet could come to an end. The explosion would approach that of a million megatons of TNT- sixteen hundred times greater than the most powerful nuclear weapon ever tested (Barnes-Svarney 234). Asteroi...

Burning Fossil Fuels Average Global Temperature
1,498 wordsGreenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that warms the earth and enables it to support life. Without it, the average temperature on earth would be around - 18 degrees C, instead of the current + 15 degrees C a frozen wilderness. It works on the same principles as the ordinary glass garden greenhouse, where glass allows light to get in, but does not allow for the heat to get out. This makes for a much higher temperature inside the greenhouse. On a planetary scale, similar ...
