Volcanic Eruptions Directly Related
322 words
2. There are three main factors that determine the
nature of volcanic eruptions. Each factor has
defined characteristics that can determine the
effects of the volcano. The factors are the magmas
composition, temperature and the amount of
dissolved gases. Each of these affects the magmas
viscosity, which is directly related to the nature
of the eruption. The amount of silica content is
directly related to the viscosity, as well. The
composition of Mafic magma is about 50 % silica,
which makes it ...

Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Gases
827 words
Carbon dioxide is a gas comprising less than 0. 04
% of the atmosphere. It is used by plants to make,
directly or indirectly, all of the food that we
eat. Increases in the concentration of carbon
dioxide generally increase the growth rate of
plants and decrease their water use. The
concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
is increasing, mostly as a result of burning of
coal, oil, gas and forests. Its concentration may
double by the end of the next century. Carbon
dioxide also significan...

... to be correct." I think this is very foolish
considering that the earth will naturally warm up
again, and when it does that it will warm up a
little more than it was before. But what I think
Dr. Landscheidt is are saying is that it does not
need to be dealt with so fast because the planet
will cool down more. So we can do it slower and
spend less money on it. But we do not know if the
greenhouse effect will overpower the natural
effects. Unfortunately, this scenario of normal

Global Warming Debate The global warming is caused
by emissions of over 20 gases into the atmosphere.
The major contributors are carbon dioxide (CO 2),
ozone, methane, nitrous oxide and
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Although these gases
are produced by many industrial processes, the
major source is the burning of fossil fuels in
boilers, furnaces and automobile engines. When
released into the air in large quantities, these
gases cause the earths atmosphere to warm by
trapping the suns heat. Infrar...

Global Warming The Greenhouse Effect The
greenhouse effect is a term that is used to refer
to an atmospheric process. The greenhouse effect
is the inability of long wave radiation to escape
the atmosphere causing increased air temperature
and increasing impurities in the atmosphere.
During the last 20 years the media and public have
given the topic priority consideration. There is
some evidence that the atmosphere is warming and
strong indications that the greenhouse effect is
responsible. It is...

Greenhouse Gases Carbon Dioxide
285 words
Like the glass in a greenhouse, certain gases that
occur naturally in the atmosphere tend to trap the
suns heat. This natural " greenhouse
effect" helps keep the Earths average
temperature at a comfortable 59? Fahrenheit.
Without these greenhouse gases, the Earth would be
about 0? F, like a deep- frozen snowball. But
human activities are causing some greenhouse
gases, such as carbon dioxide, to build up in the
atmosphere. Whenever we burn fossil fuels
(gasoline, oil, coal or natural ga...

Natural Greenhouse Effect Carbon Dioxide

What is global warming, and how is it affecting
the earth and its inhabitants? Global warming is
sometimes referred to as the greenhouse effect.
The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy
radiated from the earths surface by carbon dioxide
and other gases in the atmosphere, causing the
atmosphere to become warming. The greenhouse
effect is what is causing the temperature on the
earth to rise, and creating many problems that
will begin to occur in the coming decades. For the

On a clear night, only a few hundred stars can be
seen without the use of any astronomical
instruments. The Milky Way Galaxy consists of at
least 200 billion stars. Stars are huge balls of
hot gases. The sun is a star, but it is not the
largest star; it is only the nearest star. A star
has three recognizable stages: its birth; the
years in which it exists; and its death. Its
formation and its life expectancy have captured
the curiosity of astronomers for centuries.
