Ozone Depletion Ultraviolet Radiation
624 wordsIf all the ice in Antarctica melted, it would raise the level of the world's oceans by over 200 feet (60 meters). The possibility of this happening in the near term is not seriously considered by scientists, for the Antarctic icecap is currently believed to be in equilibrium. However, meteorologists studying the ramifications of global warming and the greenhouse effect expect there to be a decrease in sea levels in the short term -- a matter of decades -- of about 2 millimeters per year. This wi...

Coral Reefs Carbon Dioxide
412 wordsFirst of all, they houses a collection of diverse organisms, and contribute fisheries which provide food items such as fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. Furthermore, coral skeletons are being used as bone substitutes in reconstructive bone surgery and may be able to provide important medicine, including anti-cancer drugs and a compound that blocks ultra-violet rays, they even help reduce global warming by taking carbon dioxide out These reefs provide a house for many species. If the coral reefs w...

Skin Cancer Ultraviolet Radiation
1,554 wordsSkin cancer is a disease that can affect any one. Skin cancer includes many types that can be classified as severe or superficial. Consequently, treatment of skin cancer depends on the degree of severity a person has. In the following paper, we will shed lights on the types of skin cancer and its causes. Finally, we will investigate how to treat the different types of cancer and how to avoid it. Skin cancer is a term used to describe cancer in skin tissues. The skin is made of several layers. Sk...

Ozone Layer Human Race
625 wordsOn this earth we have so many problems. There is a leak in the ozone layer, we are running out of oxygen, there is not going to be any more clean water soon, et cetera. Some of us truly care about these problems, they want to fix them so the human race can go on living. The human race honestly does not deserve to live on. There is a time when all must die, when all will perish, shrivel up, terminate. Soon it will be our time. It is nature. Even though we have twisted nature and killed what shoul...

Science And Technology Advancement Of Science
833 wordsScience and technology may be partly responsible for many of the problems that face us today. The problems are the advancement of weapons, bombs, biochemical and nuclear weapon, which brought us violence amongst ourselves and others. Another problem is human dependences on technology, such as the internet, computers, cell phones etc. Yet one of the biggest problems is pollution. Three types of pollution that dominate they are water, air and noise pollution. Water is one of the several resources ...

Natural Greenhouse Effect Carbon Dioxide
1,107 wordsGlobal warming is sometimes refereed 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 warmer. The greenhouse effect is what is causing the temperature on the Earth to rise, and it is creating many problems that will begin to occur in the near future. For the last 10, 000 years, the Earths climate has been extraordinarily beneficial to mankind. Human...

20 Th Century Effects Of Global
1,147 wordsImagine that all the coastal areas in the world were completely submerged in water and the national parks and rangelands of the world were nothing but barren disasters. This scenario will become a reality if global warming continues to occur. Ecosystems will be severely damaged due to the change in weather it causes. Studies show that the change in weather can also spread contagious diseases that are carried by mosquitoes and other virus carrying animal that dwell in warm areas. The cause of thi...

Majority Of Americans Important To Understand
1,742 wordsShould America Drill? The recent economic and socio-political developments in the world make the arguments of those who are against lifting the 1981 -ban on offshore oil drilling, to sound less and less plausible, due to the fact that citizens slowly begin to understand that designing Americas economic policies can no longer be affected environmental considerations, to the extent it used to be, even as recent as ten years ago. The reason is very simple Earth is already being overpopulated, with ...

Ozone Molecules Du Pont
579 wordsThe beginning of the CFC (chlorofluorocarbons) era started in 1928, when CFC were invented by a Du Pont chemist. CFC were best known as freon's and became famous as a safe, nonflammable refrigerant. It s invention became a great triumph when Freon took the place of sulfur dioxide or ammonia which was used as the working liquid in refrigerators. It eventually became widely used in automobile air conditioners and nontoxic propellants in aerosol cans. It s insulating properties also was used for bl...

Environmental Protection Agency Ozone Depletion
1,137 wordsThe ozone layer diminishes more each year. As the area of polar ozone depletion (commonly called the ozone hole) gets larger, additional ultraviolet rays are allowed to pass through. These rays cause cancer, cataracts, and lowered immunity to diseases. 1 What causes the depletion of the ozone layer? In 1970, Crutzen first showed that nitrogen oxides produced by decaying nitrous oxide from soil-borne microbes react catalytically with ozone hastening its depletion. His findings started research on...

1,088 wordsGlobal Warming Several issues concerning the environment are brought to the publics attention every year, but none has more of a direct effect on earth and its environment than global warming. Coincidentally it appears to be the least of the populations concern. Global warming is the theory that our planet is getting hotter due to an increase in the greenhouse effect brought about by the increase of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere. Global warming is caused by the greenhouse gase...

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Science And Technology
1,145 wordsEvery year, Earth s surface receives 1. 73 x 10 17 W of energy from the sun. This is about 15, 000 times as much the human population uses annually (Merritt's 267). Global warming occurs when the levels of greenhouse gasses rise and less infrared light, or heat, escapes the earths atmosphere. Thus, the temperature experienced on Earth begins to rise. Climate change is a part of the Earths history. There have been dramatic fluctuations in overall average temperature for the past 150, 000 years th...

Ice Storm Carbon Dioxide
2,121 wordsINTRODUCTION Ice storms, also referred to as glaze storms, cause considerable damage every year to trees in urban and natural areas. They vary considerably in their severity and frequency. Ice storms are result of the ice formation process, which is influenced by general weather patterns. Ice accumulates when super cooled rain freezes on contact with surfaces, such as tree branches, that are at or below the freezing point (0 C). This generally occurs when a winter warm front passes through an ar...

Ozone Layer Million Tons
1,641 words? Ours, a water planet. The ocean covers 71 percent of the surface of the globe, and it constitutes over 90 percent of all habitable space on Earth. It? s total volume is around 300 million cubic miles and its weight is approximately 1. 3 million million million tons. No wonder that Arthur C. Clarke, scientist and writer, once remarked that it was? inappropriate to call this planet Earth, when clearly it is ocean. (Mulvaney 28). Ocean pollution is growing out of control, and the clean up of our ...

I know that when I was younger it did not matter to me the importance of using an aerosol can of hair spray or a plastic pump non-aerosol hairspray. I figured that they were all the same. I feel that anyone without the education of the destruction would care either. It was not until I read about the evidence of our destruction that my ignorance of the ozone problem became too ...

265 wordsNASA and EU Report Massive Arctic Ozone Loss Scientists from NASA and the European Union blamed the long, cold winter and human-made pollution for one of the largest ozone losses to record. The study was conducted between January and March with the use of NASA? s high-tech ER- 2 plane. This plane is able to reach high altitudes in order to check for ozone depletion. The measurements taken by the ER- 2 concluded that the ozone above the arctic has decreased nearly 60 percent. These measurements w...
