Smog

Pollutants that are given off through the emissions of automobiles are hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxides, and carbon dioxides. Hydrocarbons emitted by automobiles create smog. Smog can create health problems for people. These problems include lung and respiratory problems. Nitrogen oxides form acid rain that hurts plants, wildlife, and the paint on our cars. Carbon monoxide reduces the flow of oxygen in the bloodstream. Carbon

The San Joaquin Valley Environment: Live Well or Live Long? According to Doyle Rice of USA Today Newspaper, “California is currently in it's fourth year (2012-2015) of one of the state's worst droughts in the past century.” In August of 2014, all of California was declared to be in a drought and over half of the state was in “exceptional” drought, the worst level (Rice). This drought has led to violent wildfires, water shortages, and potentially staggering agricultural losses. Because of the severity

nutrients so our food production can keep increasing, but once you take advantage of the environment like dump waste in our rivers to the point that it causes water pollution, or burning out all our fossil fuels or gasoline to the point that we have smog, or air pollution, our ecosystem will eventually die out. Also stated in chapter one, soil degradation, crop diseases, or even weather conditions can decrease our food production. If our human population and animal reproduction keeps increasing rapidly

Global warming is the gradual rise of the earth’s surface temperature, caused by many natural and manmade processes that continue to affect our environment. The release of carbon dioxide and methane gases are the two main contributors for the changes in the global climate patterns. Climate change causes the sea level rise, shrinking ice sheets, declining arctic sea ice, glacial retreat, extreme weather events, ocean acidification, decreased snow cover. Because of these, the food chain is affected

Fossil fuels is a major energy source right now. However, fossil fuels can harm our environment. Many machines use fossil fuel, what will we do when it is gone? Luckily, we can use alternative energy sources, or natural energy, to produce power. Natural energy comes from the sun, volcanic heat, water currents, etc. It can be found almost anywhere. Fossil should be replaced with alternative energy sources because natural energy is money saving, not harmful to our environment, and contains an infinite

People give high marks on this industrial revolution, considering that it marks the beginning of a new era in human history; has passed the previous agricultural economy and has lead the

sun set and my eyes would grow heavy, then I would soon be sound asleep. It was not until recently, when I visited New York City, that I fully awoke to the harsh reality of automobiles. My memory of the once magnificent skies in Oklahoma darkened by smog I witnessed in New York City and the music could no longer be heard over the loud noises of destruction. Motorized vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and semis, provide reliable transportation daily to millions of people; however, automobiles emit dangerous

pressurized water, sand, and chemicals underground to open fissures and improve the flow of oil and gas to the surface. The process is used to improve productivity in gas reserves over the U.S., but it causes radioactive wastewater, radon exposure, smog, chemical contamination of drinking water, air pollution, and seismic activity in areas including a potential for danger from it in District 8: Navarro, Freestone, and the Hill Country that are designated as a “Priority Groundwater Management Area”

contracting epidemics like cholera and typhus. In China, factories have created so much smog, that airplanes had to cancel flights due to poor visibility. Industrialization in China had created enormous amounts of air pollution due to unregulated industry, vehicles and cheap gasoline (China’s air pollution). Recently, industrialization in India has led to crops being destroyed due to the ozone pollution. Smog, which is an ozone at ground level, is the cause of vegetation reduction. In India, there

Climate change is of a climate over an amount of time. A climate is the weather conditions in an area, like how warm it is or how much precipitation is received. We have became increasingly aware of climate change as of late. The effects of climate change have begun to affect us more and more, and we have finally started to notice it. Climate has always changed, just not as much as recently. When a volcano would erupt, or when the sun would become more active. The climate started changing more than
