Carbon Dioxide Emissions Set An Example
1,843 words... in their distribution. There should be a mandated Fossil Fuel Efficiency Standard that would be applied to every generator of electricity in the country. It would set a "nationwide allowance for the average fossil fuel used per unit of energy produced and would also include a schedule of cutting fossil allowances in half over the next twenty years" (213). Afterwards, each year the allowance for fossil fuel to be used would be less from the year before. The companies would be forced to increa...

Billion Years Ago Carbon Dioxide
1,230 wordsOur understanding and our modern perception of our solar system, the Milky Way, has been drastically reshaped from the corresponding perception of only a few hundred years ago. Our Solar System, the Milky Way is probably about 4 - 5 billion years old. Only in the last 400 years or so have we realized that the earth is not the "center", and that in the Universe alone there is an immense 200 billion "Suns" in a galaxy like our own. Although the origin of the solar system is uncertain, most scienti...

Surface Of Mars Olympus Mons
1,529 wordsNamed after the Roman God of war, Mars has sparked and sustained curiosity than any other planet in our solar system. Astronomers and Geologist have studied the surface of Mars dating back to 1965 when Mariner 4 swept by the planet. Photographs of the planet showed a barren surface scarred by numerous craters. It wasnt until 1976 that scientist got their first glimpse of the Martian Landscape from its surface. As we take a closer look at Mars we may find many similarities as well as differences ...

Carbon Dioxide And Water Organic Compounds
791 wordsHave you ever wondered why your plants in your house and outside lean towards the sun. In my project I hope to answer why this happens. I am going to be using lima beans to do this with. The Greek philosopher Aristotle may have been the first to attempt to explain the processes of photosynthesis and food production. He believed that plants could obtain from the soil all the components required for growth. The cycle was completed when organisms perished and became reincorporated into the soil. Th...

Any sport player needs to know and understand how all his muscles work, so when it comes to exercise or working out, they can know what their limits are. The skeletal system is made up of your bones, ligaments, and tendons. It determines the shape and symmetry of the body; acts as a protective device for your organs; acts as a firm base for the attachments of muscles (without bone...

Ultraviolet Radiation Ozone Layer
1,027 wordsGreenhouse Effect On a bright, cool day, most people notice the sun's rays as feeling good on their skin. By nature, many of us even try to stay on the sunny side of the street while walking. The sun is 93 million miles away from earth and its energy travels to us in moving waves called radiation. The energy becomes heat, light and other energy too. Visible sunlight allows us to see the world around us, but there is invisible sunlight, too. These rays can't be seen, but some can be felt as heat....

Natural Greenhouse Effect Carbon Dioxide
722 wordsGlobal Warming is sometimes referred to as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the Earth's 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 creating many problems that have started and will continue to occur in the coming decades. Life could not exist if there was no natural greenhouse effect. The reason for the...

Valence Electrons Carbon Dioxide
328 wordsFor my report, I choose to design a ball and stick model for a carbon dioxide molecule. I used the C as the center and an O on each side of the C. For Christmas purposes I colored the C green and the two Os red. To make the letters, I used white out. The sticks that connect the balls are actually cue tips that I have taken the cotton off of. I used glue to make it stick on better and just punched in the stick. The sticks are suppose to be springs and I tried bendable straws that were cut, but th...

Methane Nitrous Oxide Carbon Dioxide Methane
1,647 wordsWhy are the Heads of State Increasingly Worried About Global Warming? In the last few decades the worlds sea levels have risen, the weather has become more unpredictable and countries are now facing hotter summers with colder winters. This is due to global warming, which is becoming an increasingly real problem. But why is global warming a problem? If scientists theories are correct, then the results world over would be catastrophic. Global warming is the build up of greenhouse gases in the atmo...

Burning Of Fossil Fuels Humans And Animals
668 wordsCarbon Dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas that occurs in small quantities in the earths atmosphere naturally. The earths ocean, soil, plants and animals release CO 2. The formula of Carbon Dioxide is CO 2. The CO 2 molecule contains 2 oxygen atoms that each share 2 electrons with a carbon atom to form 2 carbon oxygen double bonds. The atoms are arranged as so (OHT). This is called a linear molecule. Carbon dioxide is commonly found as a gas and is never a liquid. It sublimes to a solid known a...

Carbon Dioxide Nitrogen Oxide
1,100 wordsThe greenhouse effect occurs when gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and CFCs trap heat in the atmosphere by acting as a pane of glass in a car. ? The glass? lets the sun light in to make heat but when the heat tries to get out the gases absorb the heat. Holding this heat in causes heat waves, droughts and climate changes which could alter our way of living. The main gases that cause the greenhouse effect are water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO 2), and methane which comes mainly f...

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...

Carbohydrates Fats Sugar Cane
3,578 wordsWhat exactly do we mean by sugar? Most people would answer by describing the white granulated sugar found on the meal table. That is however only part of the answer. Table sugar is sucrose and is only one of a number of different sugars all of which belong to the carbohydrate group of basic energy foods. CARBOHYDRATES Sugars are a major form of carbohydrate and are found in probably all green plants. They occur in significant amounts in most fruits and vegetables. There are three main simple sug...

Burning Fossil Fuels Natural Greenhouse Effect
3,312 wordsThe Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect, as defined in the dictionary, is the effect produced as greenhouse gases allow incoming solar radiation to pass through the Earths atmosphere, but prevent most of the outgoing infrared radiation from the surface and lower atmosphere from escaping into outer space. Even though this process occurs naturally and has kept the Earths temperature about 60 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it would otherwise be, current life on Earth could not be sustained with...

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. It gets its name because this is very much like a greenhouse. This effect occurs as the incoming short wave radiation is changed when it hits the Earths surface i...

Nitrous Oxide Carbon Dioxide
555 wordsThe Greenhouse Effect Earth is the only planet that we know of that has the right conditions to support life. 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...
