Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect
1,080 words
While 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...

Chemistry has been called the science of what
things are. Its intent is the exploration of the
nature of the materials that fabricate our
physical environment, why they hold the different
properties that depict them, how their atomic
structure may be fathomed, and how they may be
manipulated and changed. Although organic
reactions have been conducted by man since the
discovery of fire, the science of Organic
chemistry did not develop until the turn of the
eighteenth century, mainly in France at ...

Catalytic Converter Carbon Monoxide
705 words
Introduction There are millions of cars on the
road in the United States, and each one is a
source of air pollution. Especially in large
cities, the amount of pollution cars produce
everyday is a lot. To solve those problems, many
laws have been enacted restricting the amount of
pollution that cars can produce. To make their
cars as pollution-free as possible, automakers
have made many refinements to car engines and fuel
systems and have developed the catalytic
converter. The catalytic converter...

Effects Of Global Warming Interesting To Note
1,155 words
One of the hottest topics being discussed now a
days is the effects of global warming on the
environment and the efforts being made in order to
combat the potential effects. Simply put, global
warming refers to the environmental effects caused
by the constant emission of carbon dioxide from
carbon based fuels. These effects are supposedly
widespread; the temperature of the earth will
rise, the land becomes less conducive to,
vegetation, and various ecosystems become extinct.
There is no common c...

Carbon Dioxide Fossil Fuels

In talking about global warming, we need to learn
what causes the greenhouse effect. Rays from the
sun are taken up and absorbed by water vapor that
is natural in the atmosphere. The United States
emits the largest manmade greenhouse gases in the
world. As Americans we must realize the
responsibility to reduce the emissions. (Gore,
Albert) Water Vapor is eighty percent of
greenhouse warming. The last twenty percent
results from other gases that are in very little
amounts. A huge absorber of the ...

warming is considered as one of the most troubling
issues of contemporary era. It has been noticed
that the average air temperature in different
parts of the world is being on the constant rise,
ever since the humanity's existence began to
depend more and more on exploitation of fossil
fuels. Whereas in 1870, the carbon fuel emissions
in the air were almost non-existent, in 2000 their
amount has reached 6 billion tons. Many scientists
agree that thes...

Pollution One of the major problems of today is
the problem of pollution on our planet. Humanity
has invented various kinds of polluting the Earth
such as air pollution, noise pollution, pollution
in the ocean, rubbish, and landfill. Air pollution
is caused by four major factors: heavy traffic,
large cities, economic development, and
industrialization. Besides polluting air our
civilizations creates noise pollution unwanted,
disturbing sounds that cause a irritation in the

hydroxythyl converge together while carbon dioxide
molecules are eliminated. Than, hydroxy ethyl

Average Global Temperature Amount Of Carbon Dioxide
861 words
Weather 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...

The Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect is an
increase in the atmospheric temperature caused by
increasing amounts of greenhouse gases. These
gases act as a heat blanket insulating the Earths
surface absorbing and trapping heat radiation
which normally escapes from the earth. They
include carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane,
nitrous oxide, CFCs, and other halo-carbons. The
earths atmosphere goes through two processes
constantly. Global cooling is the first process.

Photosynthesis is a very important process in
nature. It is the production of energy in the form
of glucose involving water from the soil, carbon
dioxide from the air and light energy. It takes
place in all green plants, which use the green
chlorophyll, held in chloroplasts in the leaves,
to trap light. The main site of photosynthesis is
the palisade mesophyll cells in the leaf of a
plant. It is these cells that contain the green
chloroplasts and are very well adapted to their
task. They are nea...
