Origin Of Species Straight Line
1,244 wordsEvolution is a fairly simple idea. A broad definition of it is Species change over time. Evolutionary theory is supported by a huge body of evidence, including the fossil record and observation of organisms alive today. That is the reason it is embraced by most mainstream scientists. Theologists, whose arguments are based totally on faith, base their theories on fiction not proven fact. Faith, being belief that isn't based on evidence, is the principal vice of any religion. And who, looking at N...

Released Into The Atmosphere Greenhouse Gases
958 wordsGlobal warming is an increase in the earth's temperature due to fossil fuels, industry, and agricultural processes caused by human, natural, and other gas emissions. (Melissa Phillips). This results in an increased emission of greenhouse gases. (Caroline Quatman). Short-wave solar radiation sinks into the Earth's atmosphere and warms its surface; while longwave infrared radiation emitted by earth's surface is absorbed, and then re-emitted by trace gases. (Brent C. Willhoite) Climate changes occu...

Rapid Expansion Blue Green
1,211 wordsUp until 1947, it was believed that the Cambrian Explosion marked the first true abundance of multicellular life. However, this was discovered to be untrue after Sir Douglas Mawson and R. C. Spring mistakenly came across numerous "fossil jellyfish" in the Ediacaran Hills while observing what was originally believed to be sandstones belonging to the lowest strata of the Cambrian. At first, these finding were dismissed as "fortuitous inorganic markings. " (AAS Biographical Memoirs. ) Several years...

Fossil Fuels Greenhouse Gases
1,295 wordsThe importance of the greenhouse effect was just conceived in the mid-twentieth century. "For 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. " (Francesca Lyman). Now, for the first time, humanity has the power to change the global climate. By releasing the huge amounts of carbon stored in fossil fuels over millions of years, we are distorting the natural ca...

The Fossil Record Of Order Chiroptera
710 wordsThe Fossil Record of Order Chiroptera Bats are the second-most species group of mammals. In some tropical areas, there are more species of bats than of all other kinds of mammals combined. Bats, small mammals of the order Chiroptera, are a diverse group of over 1000 species living around the world. The fossil record of bats is poor when compared with that of most other kinds of mammals. This is probably because of their small size, typically low population densities, and habitat selection. Their...

United States And Canada Ph Of 5
903 wordsHow Acid Rain Develops, Spreads, and Destroys Acid rain is environmentally damaging rainfall that occurs after fossil fuels burn, releasing nitrogen and sulphur oxides into the atmosphere. Acid rain, simply stated, increases the acidity level of waterways because these nitrogen and sulphur oxides combine with the air? s normal rainfall. Acid rain is a silent threat because its effects, although slow, are cumulative. This analysis explains the cause, the distribution cycle, and the effects of aci...

Methane Nitrous Oxide Rise In Sea
1,611 wordsThe 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...

Spread Of Disease Fossil Fuels
531 wordsThe increase in the population of the world may be affecting us in more ways than previously thought. The usage of fossil fuels increases as the population increases. When a baby is born the immediate need for fossil fuels are increased. One example of this is the immediate need for fuel used to heat the water for the babys bottles, bath, and the water required to wash its clothes. This newborn may reach adulthood and begin to drive, yet another increase in fossil fuels. The increase in populati...

Burning Of Fossil Fuels Source Of Energy
1,627 wordsHydrogen: The Energy Source of the Future There have been many stories in the newspapers, on TV and on the radio about the state that our planet is in, and most of the time they are not too positive. We hear about pollution, and global warming most frequently, which are both caused mainly by the burning of fossil fuels. Because of this, organizations and governments have started to invest money in researching alternate forms of energy that are less polluting and that do not contribute to global ...

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Parts Per Million
2,377 words1. What are the Greenhouse Gases? Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is responsible for more than half the human contribution to the greenhouse effect, and concentrations have climbed steadily from around 280 parts per million at the dawn of the industrial revolution meaning 0. 028 percent of the air s volume is taken up by the gas to around 355 ppm today. As people burn oil, coal and natural gas, they release carbon that ancient plants in past geological ages absorbed and stored. 6 As cement workers process...
