    to become extinct because of the lack of oxygen. Fossil fuel will soon run out because when cars are running, they release a gas called Carbon Monoxide (CO). The CO along with CO2, methane, water vapor, and nitrous oxide will become trapped in Troposphere and will make extra greenhouse gasses.

    The dust particles that are injected into the atmosphere block the incoming solar radiation, therefore cooling the troposphere. Sulphur dioxide is one of the main gases that is produced from volcanic eruptions predominately from basaltic lava flows, it is particularly light and therefore it can be injected into heights about the troposphere and into the lower stratosphere. Sulphur dioxide is then able to react with water vapour when in the presence of sunlight to form reflective

    concentrations of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gaseous molecules. Jupiter’s atmosphere is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, with trace amounts of other elements. Nearly all atmospheric water vapor or moisture is found in the troposphere, so it is the layer where most of Earth’s meteorological phenomena, such as clouds, rain, snow, and lightning storms take place. The one exception is the thermosphere, where the the Northern and Southern Lights take place. Jupiter also experiences

    If we are going to look at the consensus on climate change we should start by defining which group of people is supposed to be reaching that consensus. All scientists are supposed to know all there is to know about every field of science; 17,000 scientists signed a petition saying there's no convincing evidence that greenhouse gases will disrupt the earth's climate; 31,000 scientists are saying that global warming is beneficial. A lot a meteorologist become weather forecasters or pilots or teachers

    Climate Change is one of the chief problems that the world is struggling right now. It is estimated that every decade, the world’s temperature is increasing by 1ºC and this phenomenon is called global warming. An evident example of global warming is the melting of the polar ice caps. Compare to the past hundred years, the size of the polar ice caps has reduced which resulted to the rise of the sea levels and eventually destroying the homes of those people living near the seaside. Another consequence

    Contemporary Case Studies Two contemporary studies have gone further to explore the relationship between VOCs and NOx in specific regions, analyzing the sources and the potential improvements. The UC Berkeley based team of Pusede and Cohen (2012)8 explored the effects of nitrogen oxides and VOC reactivity in the San Joaquin Valley California. Using 16 years of statistical based data collection from 1995-2011, they were able to draw some conclusions about the regions ozone cycle. First of their

    A new study proposes the possibility that the minor mass extinction event on Earth about 2.59 million years ago could have been a result from a supernova explosion. It is believed that cosmic rays from a supernova could have potentially altered the climate and led to the minor mass extinction towards the end of the Pliocene epoch and at the beginning of the Pleistocene. Researchers ran computer simulations of supernovas and focused on how the affects could have changed Earth’s climate and biosphere

    Venus Essay

    In many ways Venus is found to be similar to Earth. However their similarities do not extend further than their physical properties, for instance, their atmospheres differ greatly from each other. Venus is said to have atmospheric pressure of 92.1 barometers (Adams, D. Et al., 1994 p.126) which it is evidently 92 times greater than Earth’s that is 1.01 barometers (Adams, D. Et al., 1994 p.126) at sea-level. In spite of this comparison to Earth’s atmospheric pressure, Venus owns an out of the ordinary
