Billion Years Ago Million Years Ago
687 wordsThe Principle Events in the Evolution of the Earth's Atmosphere The literal translation of the word atmosphere is "sphere of vapors." The Earth's atmosphere is a protective sphere of vapors, or air that surrounds the Earth and provides it with a layer of insulation from the harmful rays of the sun. It is a vital part of the Earth, and has changed dramatically since the beginning of time. The earth's atmosphere has gradually changed since the Earth's birth approximately 4. 6 million years ago. In...

Released Into The Atmosphere Greenhouse Gases
958 wordsGlobal warming is an increase in the earth's temperature due to fossil fuels, industry, and agricultural processes caused by human, natural, and other gas emissions. (Melissa Phillips). This results in an increased emission of greenhouse gases. (Caroline Quatman). Short-wave solar radiation sinks into the Earth's atmosphere and warms its surface; while longwave infrared radiation emitted by earth's surface is absorbed, and then re-emitted by trace gases. (Brent C. Willhoite) Climate changes occu...

The Enhanced Green House Effect
1,723 wordsThe Enhanced Greenhouse Effect For the past ten thousand years the earth's climate has been extremely good and beneficial to mankind. Today however, major changes are taking place. Humans beings are changing the face of the entire planet by destroying the rain forests and pumping our pollutants into the air and water. Some of these gases are very toxic and they are destroying our ozone layers which allows life to exist on earth These things are changing the make-up of the earth's biosphere and i...

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...

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Third World Countries
2,333 wordsGlobal Warming (1) The problem of Global warming is considered 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 constant rise, ever since 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, the amount of such emissions has reached 6 billion tons. Many scientists agree that it ...

Natural Greenhouse Effect Carbon Dioxide
1,434 wordsCarbon dioxide plays a major part of impacting the Earth s climate. Carbon dioxide traps heat form the sun. This effect is considered global warming, which is often referred to as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect traps solar heat, like a green house for plants, which causes the solar energy from being released. Global warming or the greenhouse effect is believed to have been causing our temperatures to rise. If global warming persists, many problems will begin to occur in the coming ...

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Parts Per Million
2,377 words1. What are the Greenhouse Gases? Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is responsible for more than half the human contribution to the greenhouse effect, and concentrations have climbed steadily from around 280 parts per million at the dawn of the industrial revolution meaning 0. 028 percent of the air s volume is taken up by the gas to around 355 ppm today. As people burn oil, coal and natural gas, they release carbon that ancient plants in past geological ages absorbed and stored. 6 As cement workers process...
