Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect
1,080 wordsWhile some people believe the earth's 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 earth's 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 passes through the transparent roof and walls an...

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...

1,647 wordsWhy are the Heads of State Increasingly Worried About Global Warming? In the last few decades the worlds sea levels have risen, the weather has become more unpredictable and countries are now facing hotter summers with colder winters. This is due to global warming, which is becoming an increasingly real problem. But why is global warming a problem? If scientists theories are correct, then the results world over would be catastrophic. Global warming is the build up of greenhouse gases in the atmo...

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...

2,747 wordsCanadian Foreign Policy In order to discover what the foreign policy of a country is we need to look first what are the objectives of a country. Canada plays important role in the world and is a member of many international organizations. Canada, like any other country has its own goals that it is trying to pursue through the participation in world political affairs. For many years, when Canadians looked southward, we tended not to see beyond the United States. Our entry into the Organization of...

Canadas ratification is not crucial to meeting the 55 / 55 goal, but officials say Mr. Chretien would like to be seen as part of the international system for reducing carbon emissions. By forcing Canadian companies to meet mandatory reduction targets by 2012, Canadian companies say they will have to spend money on new energy technologies that will put them at an uncompetitive disadvantage with their U. S. counterparts. Kyoto would devastate certain economic sectors leaving m...

Carbon Dioxide Nitrogen Oxide
1,100 wordsThe greenhouse effect occurs when gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and CFCs trap heat in the atmosphere by acting as a pane of glass in a car. ? The glass? lets the sun light in to make heat but when the heat tries to get out the gases absorb the heat. Holding this heat in causes heat waves, droughts and climate changes which could alter our way of living. The main gases that cause the greenhouse effect are water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO 2), and methane which comes mainly f...

Carbon Dioxide Methane Nitrous Oxide
705 wordsThe earth s climate is predicted to change because human activities are altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere through the buildup of greenhouse gases primarily carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. The heat-trapping property of these gases is undisputed. Although uncertainty exists about exactly how earth s climate responds to these gases, global temperatures are rising. Energy from the sun drives the earth s weather and climate, and heats the earth s surface; in turn, the ea...

When there were few people, the dominant factors controlling ecosystem state were the natural ones that have operated for millions of years. The human population has now grown so large that there are concerns that they have become a significant element in ecosystem dynamics. One of these concerns is the relationship bet...

Three Phases Law States
528 wordsSolids, liquids, and gases are the three main, or fundamental phases of matter. Each one has a different density and a different level of stability. What determines the stability of each phase is the bond between its atoms. The tighter the bond between its atoms the more stable that phase of matter is. Solids are the most stable form of matter, followed by liquids, and then gases. Solids have a definite shape and do not take the shape of their container. Liquids do not have any definite shape an...

Most of us have seen fires in natural vegetation, or their effects; stark, blackened vegetation or a smoke pall. Because fires such as these can have damaging economic and social effects, can spoil forestry timber, can burn down houses and farms, and can kill people and animals, there has been a lot written about wildfires. Added to this wide perception of the damage that can be caused ...
