solutions effect the natural gases in the environment that maintain the temperatures around the world. Although that is how global warming is defined, it has a way greater effect than just temperature changes. The greenhouse effect is the exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that warms the Earth; it is often referred to as the greenhouse effect because a greenhouse works in much the same way (LiveScience 1). The greenhouse effect , many laws due to physics, and consequences that effect the Earth
the past epochs have affected earth substantially, in a negative way. The abundance of Carbon Dioxide caused global warming, resources are being abused, and the Earth’s population has skyrocketed. Earth’s climate change is the main reason why we should migrate to mars. Hotter temperatures, overfishing, extinction of species, and water pollution are threatening ecosystems and destroying resources. Man-made chemicals are being absorbed by the Earth and the side effects are unknown. Scientists have event
carbon dioxide.” Carbon dioxide is accumulating in the air, which captures the sun’s heat. In return, the earth is warming up. This epidemic is occurring globally, but it affects certain regions and cities differently. Therefore, climate change should be looked at from various scales. The first scale would be globally because it is a worldwide issue. Climate change affects the earth as a whole. For example, temperature is being affected in a large scale. According to “Climate Change: Global
Water is essential for humans and organisms to live “Drinking water, “2008). Water covers most of the world and makes up more of the world than land. Water comes from different sources. Water may surround us but there are still shortages. Water allows us to live but it could be harmful to our bodies when polluted. Humans and natural disasters can cause damage to the water supply It is important to conserve water whenever possible (“Drinking Water, “2008). Oceans make up two-thirds of the Earth
dangerous effects of the pesticides and herbicides used. Especially DDT, it was most often aerially sprayed without the public’s knowledge to exterminate mosquitoes and other insects but it affected the unhatched birds by making their egg shells tremendously thin which resulted in damaged and fragile eggs not being hatched. The most unfamiliar mass of information in this text was the Strontium 90 chemical which was released through nuclear explosions in the air. This chemical reverts to the earth in the
Water is the most important substances on Earth as it is essential for the survival of all species. Water covers seventy-six percent of our planet, and it is easy to think that it will always be plentiful (Girard). However, the way society misuse the substance makes freshwater start to become incredibly rare. The global water supply is becoming more of an issue every day. Water is a resource that much of the developed world takes for granted, but that many in the developing world struggles to find
people. With this drastic change in population in such a short period of time compared to the total age of the earth, problems are no doubtable going to arise. From the demand of the ever rising human population on the earth, food accessibility, depletion of natural resources, and an increase in global warming affects all have detrimental consequences on our human population and our own earth that may not be reservable. As humans need space to live, and as cities expand, farm land is being taken over
Water, otherwise known as H2O, is an odorless & tasteless liquid essential in life, that supplies nutrients and allows species to continue to exist on this very Earth. It helps with functionality of the human body by regulating temperature, brain energy, muscles, relieving headaches etc. In modern times, 71 % of the Earth 's surface is covered with water while oceans hold over 96.5 % of all Earth 's water. It can be found just about anywhere from rivers and lakes to icecaps and glaciers, in the
human individuals, animals, forests, cities, and ecosystems. With shocking effects and staggering statistics, our water sources, the air we breathe, and the land upon which we live suffer from this plague. Unfortunately, the causes and effects of this universal dilemma deteriorate the health and well-being of all life forms on earth. Although land, light, and noise pollution leave their mark on this planet, air and water pollution inflict even more damage. Across the globe, from Beijing to the U
Fresh Water The earth has many different natural resources that it is made up of. Some of these resources include oxygen, soil, food, and most of all water. However, one of them is increasingly becoming scarce and it is a problem that not everybody is aware of. This resource is water, but not just regular water or salt water, fresh water. The earth is made up of 70% water. Out of that 70%, only 2.5% is fresh water which is mostly locked up in ice caps and glaciers. The amount of fresh water on earth
