Carbon Dioxide Emissions Amount Of Carbon Dioxide
689 wordsThe consequences of global warming have by now come to the attention of the majority of the population of the United States of America. The gradual warming of the earths atmosphere is due to an increased amount of carbon dioxide released into it. The burning of fossil fuels, oil, coal, and natural gas are the main activities that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Americans add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere every time they drive their car, use a chainsaw, or use electricity produced ...

Effects Of Global Warming
1,052 words... weather is hot and more humid than usual. Hotter temperatures and more rain in different areas will cause more heat and humid weather. This will allow mosquitoes to find new places to love and spread the diseases. "Mosquito-borne diseases are being reported for the first time at high elevations in Asia, Central Africa, and Latin America. An increase in winter temperatures, which tend to limit the distribution of insect populations, may be increasing mosquito survival rates and contributing t...

Average Global Temperature Amount Of Carbon Dioxide
861 wordsWeather changes all the time. The average pattern of weather, called climate, usually stays pretty much the same for centuries if it is left to itself. However, the earth is not being left alone. People are taking actions that can change the earth and its climate in significant ways. Carbon dioxide is the main culprit. The single human activity that is most likely to have a large impact on the climate is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas. These fuels contain carbon. Burning t...

Amount Of Carbon Dioxide Fossil Fuels
1,430 words1. Explain why any one species cannot live everywhere. Any species cannot live everywhere because this would effect the natural balance. Also one species cannot adapt to all the different environments of our planet. For example a marine creature can only live underwater and cannot live on ground. 2. Explain how the activities of some species can lead to: a) an increase b) a decrease in the population size of another species. Some species act as population controllers of other species. There must...

Burning Fossil Fuels Renewable Energy Sources
2,292 wordsGlobal Warming Global warming is the warming near the earths surface that results when the earths atmosphere traps the suns heat. The earth is getting warmer. The changes are small, so far, but they are expected to grow and speed up. Within the next fifty to one hundred years, the earth may be hotter than it has been in the past million years. As oceans warm and glaciers melt, land and cities along coasts may be flooded. Heat and drought may cause forests to die and food crops to fail. Global wa...

Amount Of Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect
474 wordsThe Greenhouse Effect This essay is going to describe what the greenhouse effect is and what it does. It is also going to say what causes the greenhouse effect and the consequences of it. What is meant by the term the greenhouse effect is that the heat from the sun comes into the Earths atmosphere and cannot get out so becomes trapped.
