Every thing present in this universe is a part of
environment including ourselves. Whether they are
animals, living thing, or nonliving things. All of
the external factors affecting an organism. These
factors may be other living organisms (biotic
factors) or nonliving variables (abiotic factors),
such as water, soil, climate, light, and oxygen.
All interacting biotic and abiotic factors
together make up an ecosystem. Organisms and their
environment constantly interact, and both are

Fossil Fuels Noise Pollution

... gy exists for point sources of pollution to be
monitored and regulated, although political
factors may complicate matters. Nonpoint
sources-runoff water containing pesticides and
fertilizers from acres of agricultural land, for
example-are much more difficult to control.
Pollution arising from nonpoint sources accounts
for a majority of the contaminants in streams and
lakes. With almost 80 percent of the planet
covered by oceans, people have long acted as if
those bodies of water could serve...

Natural Gas Diesel Fuel

We have known for a long time that eventually our
oil deposits will dry up, and it would be helpful
at that time if we had some kind of alternative
fuel to power all of the machines that we use.
Over the past two decades more oil has been pumped
than has been found in the world. For this reason
scientists have been looking to potential
alternative fuels for the future. One of these
alternative fuels may come in the form of natural
gas. Natural gas has been found to be more
plentiful than oil, an...

The Importance of Oil In U. S. Foreign Policy
During the oil and energy crisis of the mid- 1970
s Americans became painfully aware of the
consequences of the United States dependence on
foreign sources of oil. Unfortunately, research
and exploration for alternative sources of oil in
North America has not been pursued vigorously
enough to cease such foreign dependence. As a
result, in the mid- 1990 s Americans find
themselves in the same precarious position as they
were during the 1970 s. The Per...

Global warming is a steady increase in earths
average temperature which appears to be
acknowledged by many scientists and people at the
present as reality. Increasing human activities
are changing the Earth's temperature which
includes natural influences that have been there
over the past. By and large, this warming takes
place due to the use of green-house gases emitted
in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Some skeptics

Fossil Fuels Greenhouse Gases

The importance of the greenhouse effect was just

billions of years, cosmic forces shaped Earth, and
land and air coevolve at an almost inconceivably
slow pace to create a climate in which human
beings and other creatures could flourish. "

humanity has the power to change the global
climate. By releasing the huge amounts of carbon

The Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect is an
increase in the atmospheric temperature caused by
increasing amounts of greenhouse gases. These
gases act as a heat blanket insulating the Earths
surface absorbing and trapping heat radiation
which normally escapes from the earth. They
include carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane,
nitrous oxide, CFCs, and other halo-carbons. The
earths atmosphere goes through two processes
constantly. Global cooling is the first process.
This process uses the cl...

The Greenhouse Effect Issue Statement While some
people believe the earths climatic changes are due
to the fact that the universe is getting older,
others believe it is due to the greenhouse effect.
The greenhouse effect is a naturally occuring
phenomenon that is responsible for trapping heat
near the earths surface and keeping the planet
warm. It is called the greenhouse effect because
the way it works is similar to the way in which a
green house functions. In a greenhouse sunlight
