Methyl Bromide Uv Radiation
627 wordsOzone is a form of oxygen that is a human-made pollutant in the troposphere but a naturally produced, essential component in the stratosphere, which encircles our planet some 6 to 28 miles above the surface. The stratosphere contains a layer of ozone that shields the surface from much of the ultraviolet radiation coming from the sun. If ozone was to disappear from the stratosphere Earth would be uninhabitable for most organisms. The primary cause for this substantial ozone loss is a group of com...

Greenhouse Gases Carbon Dioxide
285 wordsLike 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...

Because of it s perfect distance from the sun, Earth has an average temperature of 60. F, making it an ideal place for many types of life to thrive in. However, the temperature would not be so ideal if we did not have an atmosphere with certain gasses in it. Without the help of gasses such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and others, the Earths climate would not be suitable for life. Ener...
