Scorched earth

clouds and are not affected by the Earth 's atmosphere; this is why radio telescopes can receive signals during cloud cover. The exception being strong winds which can affect the rather large dish and thunderstorms due to interference, affecting the dish’s ability to pick up signals. Disadvantage- They are very expensive to build and maintain. Optical telescope- Advantage- The advantage of using a telescope in space is that you don 't have to look through the Earth 's atmosphere. Disadvantage- The

“bad guys.” The novel never said what exactly happened, but the readers have many questions regarding what happened. Was there some kind of global natural disaster? Did an asteroid collide into the earth? All the plant life was dead. The readers consider these questions because places were scorched to the ground by a fire. They know how to get through their problems, even if it is a matter of killing someone to protect each other. There will be hope even in the bleakest circumstance. In the

storms, earthquakes, and mega-fires, people are beginning to pay more attention to how they interact and impact their surrounding environment. Global warming, a substantial factor in causing the aforementioned, is making all human contact with the earth much more influential. In addition, as cities become more populated there is an increasing expansion from urban centers as well as a large migration away from them all together a new term has been created: wildland-urban interference, or WUI. These

Global temperatures on the Earth’s surface have increased by 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit during the last century, faster than any time in the last 1000 years (Rauber 41). Consequently, the 1990s was the warmest decade in the last 1000 years (“Global Warming”). As humans emit fossil fuels, greenhouse gasses slowly warm the Earth’s atmosphere (“EPA Global”). This gradual process is known as global warming. As glaciers begin to melt, sea levels rise and coastal areas in Florida may suffer immense losses

cool air sinks, or subsides. If the Earth had no continents and did not turn, then the circulation of the atmosphere would appear much like this. [pic] http://maritime.haifa.ac.il/departm/lessons/ocean/lect14.htm The air at the Equator would be heated by the warm Earth and so rise, flow toward the poles where it is cooled by the cold Earth, subside at the North Pole and South Pole, and then flow back to the Equator along the surface of the Earth. But the Earth does have continents and it does spin

products are created, several of Earth’s limited resources are spent. Trees are cut to create paper, mountains are blown up and metals are mined from the Earth to create products such as computers that need these metals, clean water is used up to create drinks such as water bottles, and as a result, resources are constantly taken out of the Earth. These resources are limited because we are consuming them much faster than they can be restored. (Story of Stuff Video). Additionally, the process of creating

absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases in the atmosphere warm a planet’s lower atmosphere and surface. These greenhouse gases traps some of the heat emitted by the Earth. The problem with global warming is that is an anthropomorphic problem. The human race is polluting and misusing our earth. The people here on earth have substantially increased the quantity of CO2 in the atmosphere. This is a result of burning fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas emissions from automobiles. The quantity of

create their journey in the book, Feed. In Pixar’s Wall-E, the world has been abandoned by all of humanity because of the over polluted atmosphere. However, one creature still exists on earth, a garbage-collecting robot named Wall-E. One day, a futuristic, well-developed robot arrives on earth inspecting the earth of any species of life. Wall-E falls in love with the robot, Eve, and when she returns home on her spaceship, he hops on and catches a ride to space. There, Eve and Wall-E work together

Many businesses, industrial factories, and vehicles produce massive amounts of natural gases that affect the world in many ways. These gas particles that move rapidly and constantly collide with the atmosphere. This causes the air on Earth to contain higher kinetic energy due to the fact that more gas particles from the natural gases are colliding with the air particles. The higher kinetic energy results in higher temperature and heating of Earth’s surface. The heating of the Earth’s surface causes
