The Effect of Global Warming on Thermohaline Circulation Kabir Rao1 [1] Industrial activities, such as fossil fuel burning and other human activities such as tropical deforestation have increased greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. Increasing global temperatures are likely to have extreme effects on global climate and may result in species extinction, changes in agricultural production and deleterious effects on health. Studies have been conducted in recent years on the effects

Volcanoes are the eruption of magma, a mixture of rock, crystal, and dissolved gas, expelled through the earth’s crust onto the surface of the earth. Volcanoes consist of the following; a deep magma chamber where magma accumulates, pipes that lead to surface vents, and the vents through which lava is emitted during a volcanic eruption. They occur at three main settings, namely; along subduction zones, a mid-oceanic spreading centres, and above mantle plumes. Environmental effects are determined by

Silk Road Trials and Triumphs Traders prospered from the Silk Road, but they had to overcome the many dangers along the route before they could gain their wealth. These challenges, ranging from human to natural, made trading along the Silk Road a more difficult task. In order to be successful, merchants were required to be innovative and adapt to the conditions. Much of the Silk Road route is over trying terrain, such as high altitude mountains and arid deserts that stretch for miles. The mountain

1- What is an Arctic Oscillations? It is an atmospheric circulation pattern of pressure between the Arctic and the Northern middle latitudes. Basically, if the atmospheric pressure is high in Arctic, it tends to be low in the Northern middle latitudes and vice versa. The north atlantic oscillation and arctic oscillation are just a different ways of describing the same phenomenon. 2- Properties/brief differences As I mentioned earlier, those three terms are the same. There are basically two properties

American environmentalist Jeff Goodell once said, “Some studies suggest that the Arctic Ocean may be ice-free by the end of the century.” The destruction of the Polar Regions has caused major implications for the Earth today and has caused a positive feedback loop that ultimately will cause them to deplete further. The Polar Regions have slowly faded away due to the lack of precautions humans have taken to protect them, such as the use of chlorofluorocarbons, the destruction of the ozone layer, and

The Southern Hemisphere is warmer in December, January, and February because it receives more solar energy than does the Northern Hemisphere. During, June, July, and August the opposite is true; the Northern Hemisphere receives more solar energy and is warmer. This is due to the spherical shape of the planet, due to which sun is nearly overhead at equator than at high latitude therefore warmest. Thus, temperature varies with latitude from the warm Equator to the cold poles. Generally high rainfall

Through the eyes of most scientists, global warming is seen as a very serious and severe threat. The actions taken by humans, such as industry and consumption of fossil fuels plus the increase in population and agriculture have played a big part in global warming. If something is not done soon the results could be very bad. By the middle of the twenty first century, there is evidence that the Earth will be warmer than it has been at any time in human history, and quite possibly since the

A long time ago in the year 140, there was a little girl named Khione. She was the niece of Zeus. Before she knew any better, she struck the city of Atlantans. She sunk the lost city. Zeus was furious; he was so mad that he would have killed Khione, but she was family, so he sent her to cave for eternity. 150 years later, Perseus, Hercules, and Odysseus went to a retirement home for old heroes. Khione used to live with Medusa, who was killed by Perseus. Then Khione found out she was enraged

and neon). These trace gases add up to less than 0.1% of the entire atmosphere. Despite nitrogen making up only 3.5% of the atmosphere, there is four times as much of it as there is on Earth, despite it making up 78% of the atmosphere here. The troposphere is the layer extending from the surface of Venus up to 65km, and it contains 99% of the atmosphere. At the surface, the atmospheric pressure is 92 times that on earth, the wind speed is extremely slow, and the average temperature is 462°C. It is

protected by Jupiter under side its dense cloud surface. For more specific, a deeper clear boundary and progressively evolutions into the liquid internal of the planet are not included in the atmosphere of Jupiter. At the lowest base to the top, the troposphere, stratosphere, thermosphere and exosphere are all the atmospheric layers. Each layer has characteristic temperature gradients. Not only the sophisticated and complicated structures of hazes and clouds, and also the layers of
