Global Warming Is A Serious Issue That Should Have
Immediate Attention As Vice President Al Gore has
said about the threat of global warming, it is
"the most serious problem our civilization faces"
(2). It has become quite an issue internationally
because of the threat of increasing greenhouse
gasses. It is these gasses, when released into the
air, accumulate and then trap the heat inside our
atmosphere. Our climate is greatly affected by
this. Therefore, affecting all of the organisms on
earth,...

Rate Of Reaction Carbon Dioxide

... onward sources, from a textbook, encyclopedia,
and preliminary work that I have done in class. I
have shown my results on a bar chart and a line
graph. On the line graph, I have drawn a curve of
best-fit. There were no anomalous results. From my
results, and my graph, I have found out that as
the temperature of the enzymes (yeast in this
case) is increased, the rate of reaction speeds
up. However, when the temperature reached a
certain point, (about 40 degrees Celsius), the
enzymes became de...

Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect

Venus is the 2 nd closest planet to the Sun, and
the closest planet to Earth. Venus can reach
visual magnitudes (brightness) of - 4. 4, making
it the brightest object in the night sky,
excluding the moon. Venus was once considered
Earth's twin, a swampy place with oceans and
strange creatures were imagined. After sending
probes such as Mariner, Pioneer Venus, Veteran
(which landed on Venus), Vega, Magellan and
Galileo, we know that Venus is the victim of a
"run-away" greenhouse effect. Mars is t...

What are planets? Planets are kinda like asteroid
around the sun. There are nine planets in the
solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth (Our planet),
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
The Terrestrial Planets The terrestrial planets
are the four innermost planets in the solar
system, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. They are
called terrestrial because they have a compact,
rocky surface like the Earth's. The planets,
Venus, Earth, and Mars have significant
atmospheres while Mercury has...

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...

Atmospheric Co 2 Carbon Dioxide

Climate change will have significant impacts on
the global temperature such as an increase in
temperature, change in weather patterns and
sea-level rise. Sea-level is expected to rise 95
cm by the year 2100, with large local differences
due to tides, wind and atmospheric pressure
patterns, changes in ocean circulation, vertical
movements of continents etc; the most likely value
is in the range from 38 to 55 cm. The relative
change of sea and land is the main factor: some
areas may experience sea...

There are currently 1. 28 billion cattle
populating the earth. They occupy nearly 24
percent of the landmass of the planet. Their
combined weight exceeds that of the earth's entire
human population. Raising cows for beef has been
linked to several environmental problems, and
eating beef can worsen your health. The Dairy
Industry puts not only your health in danger from
consuming their products, but the lives of the
cows that produce them. There is severe
environmental damage brought on by cattle...

Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all
living things, even other plants. They have always
been very important to people, not only for food,
but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes,
medicines, shelter and a great many other
purposes. Both humans and animals benefit from
plants. We eat many different types of plants such
as fruits and vegetables. We also use plants for
our herbs. Plants are also used to manufacture
many different products such as shampoos, rubber,

Planning In this investigation I will be burning
alcohols to heat up a beaker of water. I will be
burning five alcohols, methanol, ethanol,
propanol, butanol and pentanol. The aim is to find
out how much energy is produced when burning these
alcohols. An alcohol is a series of organic
homologous compounds, with the general formula Cn
H n + 1 OH´ . Alcohols react with oxygen in
the air to form water and carbon dioxide. The
reaction that is involved in burning alcohols is
exothermic because ...

The Global Warming Global Warming The relationship
between humans and the state of the ecosystem is
not only dependent upon how many people there are,
but also upon what they do. When there were few
people, the dominant factors controlling ecosystem
state were the natural ones that have operated for
millions of years. The human population has now
grown so large that there are concerns that they
have become a significant element in ecosystem
dynamics. One of these concerns is the
relationship bet...

Fire is Fire 2 Introduction Fire is a topic on
which most people can comment. Fire is a
widespread phenomenon. Most of us have seen fires
in natural vegetation, or their effects; stark,
blackened vegetation or a smoke pall. Because
fires such as these can have damaging economic and
social effects, can spoil forestry timber, can
burn down houses and farms, and can kill people
and animals, there has been a lot written about
wildfires. Added to this wide perception of the
damage that can be caused ...

The purpose Fuel Cells Abstract: The purpose of
this paper is to inform you why fuel cells are a
good source of energy. In principle a fuel cell
operates like a battery. Unlike batteries fuel
cells dont run down or require recharging. In the
first section the energy source will be defined
and described. The three sub-sections are; how
they work, current us, and the future of fuel
cells. In the second section the two criteria
chosen will be defined. The two criteria are

Ice Storm Carbon Dioxide

INTRODUCTION 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...

Dinosaurs: How they became extinct Something
happened 65 million years ago, at the end of the
Cretaceous period, something so devastating that
it altered the course of life on earth. It seems
like it happened so sudden, as geologic time goes,
that almost all the dinosaurs living on earth
disappeared. So how did these dominant creatures
just die off? Was it a slow extinction, or did it
happen all of the sudden? These questions bring
rise to many different beliefs on how the dinosaur
disappeared o...

What have we done to our planet Earth? At present,
the most extreme and realistic finality we will
ever realize as a race of beings is that our
planet doesnt need us; we need the planet. Within
the last two hundred and fifty years we have
caused the planet more harm than its 4 billion
years of existence. It is and has been time to
realize the seriousness of our abuse towards
Earth. We cant just turn pollution off like a

to do something about. And...

Greenhouse Gasses Carbon Dioxide
330 words
Carbon dioxide has been rising in the atmosphere
throughout time. Recently though, the levels of
carbon dioxide have been increasing at a more
alarming rate. The cause of this is a direct
result of man? s burning of fossil fuels. We know
that every action we make, as humans, will have
some effect on the environment around us and those
effects can be either good or bad. The rising
levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may
potentially inflict some negative effects on our
environment. The term...
