Depletion Of The Ozone Layer
1,370 words... portion of the ozone layer is a major concern today. The ozone layer protects us from the harmful rays of the sun; therefore it is imperative that we preserve it. Since more pollutants are produced today than ever before (because of the major increase in the population), there is a major concern that we create less pollutants to help conserve the ozone layer. In this research paper I will give vital information on how pollution affects the ozone layer and methods instituted to help the ozone...

Number Of People Population Growth
656 wordsThe twentieth century has drawn to a close and humanity faces the problem of being able to support its population without inducing catastrophic and irreversible destruction on Earths life-support systems. Throughout time, humankind has been living as though there are no consequences to its actions. But now, as people of the future, we see what is happening to the world that we live in. Despite all we know, these easily seen problems are still being ignored. Our actions in the past determine the ...

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Problem Of Global Warming
1,385 wordsHow can the nations of the world work together multilaterally to successfully address the problem of global warming? The numbers are striking. No region of the world will be unaffected if Global Warming continues to increasingly grow. Yet day after day people take actions that can change the earth and its climate in significant ways. Many people just stand motionless as the wave of climate change becomes more apparent. The IPCC predicts that during the next century, the average rate of warming w...

Richter Scale Indian People
539 wordsEarthquakes are one of the most devastating natural disasters on this planet. In this essay I will talk about what an earthquake is, why India regularly suffers from major earthquakes, and how the major earthquakes effect the Indian people. I will also explain some of the most devastating earthquakes in Indias history. An earthquake occurs when tension builds up in the layers of rock underneath the earths surface. The tension is so strong that the earths plates cant handle it, so they either gri...

Greenhouse Gases Greenhouse Effect
832 wordsWhen a person starts their car or does a very small and simple thing the last thing that they are thinking of are the consequences it has to the atmosphere. Because of the continuous changing of the society, the earth has to get used to several different problems. Even though the atmosphere is known to be good because it protects us from the deadly radiation from the sun, it also takes that same heat and engulfs the earth in it. The greenhouse effect refers to the light energy that is trapped by...

Shield Volcanoes Plate Tectonics
1,406 wordsWhen there is a sudden breaking of rocks within the earth or an explosion, wave like energy travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs. These are called seismic waves and they are of two types: body waves and surface waves categorized into different kinds. What we will be discussing are body waves; there are two types of body waves: primary waves (P waves) and secondary waves (S waves). Both kinds travel through the Earths interior in all directions and arrive before the surface w...

Earthquakes Occur Earthquake Damage
355 wordsAn Earthquake, is when the earths surface shakes caused by rapid movement of the earths rocky outer layer. Earthquakes occur when energy stored within the earth, usually in the form of strain in rocks, suddenly releases. This energy is transmitted to the surface of the earth by earthquake waves. The study of earthquakes and the waves they create is called seismology. Thats why they call Scientists who study earthquakes, seismologists. Some earthquakes are not strong enough to be felt by people, ...

Greenhouse Gases Infrared Radiation
431 wordsGreenhouse Effect Greenhouse Effect, term for the role the atmosphere plays in insulating and warming the earths surface. The atmosphere is pretty much transparent to incoming solar radiation. When this radiation strikes the earths surface, some of it is absorbed, warming the earths surface. Earth s surface emits some of this energy back out in the form of infrared radiation. As this infrared radiation travels through the atmosphere, most of it is absorbed by atmospheric gases like carbon dioxid...

Mars has two small, heavily cratered moons, Phobos and Deimos, which some astronomers consider asteroid like objects captured by the planet very early in its history. Phobos is about 21 km (about 13 mi) across; Deimos, only about 12 km (about 7. 5 mi). Appearance from Earth When viewed without a telescope, Mars is a reddish ...

Upper Atmosphere Ozone Layer
591 wordsOzone, pronounced OH Zone, is a form of oxygen that is present in the earths atmosphere in small amounts. Ozone in the upper atmosphere is a major factor in making life on earth possible. But ozone in the lower atmosphere contributes to air pollution. Ozone is used commercially in water purification process and as a bleaching agent. Ordinary oxygen molecules have two oxygen atoms, ozone has three. Ozone is produced naturally through photochemical and electric discharge reactions. Photochemical p...

Earths Atmosphere Boiling Point
469 wordsNeon was discovered in 1898 by British chemists Sir William Ramsay and Morris W. Travers as a component of the most volatile fraction of liquefied crude argon obtained from air. Upon applying an electric current to it, the chemists found that it had an orange glow, and they decided that it was not argon, but rather a new element altogether. Neon is not a very common element, but the places it is most abundant in are the earths atmosphere, and trapped within rocks in the earths crust. The place w...
