There is a relationship between volcanic eruption and the climate of a place. After the eruption, the poisonous sulphur dioxide which is emitted out as a volcanic product, reacts and get oxidized to form sulphate aerosols in the stratosphere, hence affecting the climate adversely (Forster 2007). Volcanic ashes and particles having diameter larger than 2 um also affects the atmosphere. According to Ramaswamy (1996), ozone depletion results when the volcanic aerosols react with the balanced chemistry in the stratosphere. Mid and high latitudes volcanic eruptions create drastic climatic changes. The aerosols here retain over the hemisphere and cause climate to change. For ...

Night Café by Van Gogh creates a pleasant, comfortable atmosphere mostly owning to the softly painted light around the lamps and the wooden floor, with each chip and fragments thoroughly depicted in detail on the boards. The wallpapers on the café’s walls are more burgundy red than scarlet, which adds to the comfort of the room, as the depth of maroon color tones with the dark turquoise ceiling.

The title of the painting and the clock above the door pointing at quarter past midnight suggest that the set-up of the café is a warm, roomy place for late night ...

United States of America has used oil as its main source of energy for a long time but, it can emulate the Simso community project. This because, however, they have ready access to oil in the state, the oil is a major source of global warming that leads to climate change. The Simso community initially used electricity that was coming mainly from the mainland that was passing through a cable and generation coming from coal. This affects the atmosphere as carbon dioxide is generated through the process in tones. For example, each sassing into the atmosphere generates almost eleven tones on an ...

Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring gas which is produced by the plants, animals and microorganisms. This gas is continuously being exchanged between the atmosphere, land and ocean’s surface in a balanced way (Mader 2011).

Various human activities which began after the industrial revolution that took place in the 1800 has contributed significantly to the buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere. About 3 to 6% of the CO2 in the atmosphere is due to human activities. Although it is less when compared to the emission of CO2 by natural causes like volcanic eruptions, the balance of emission and absorption of ...

Pragmatism can be defined as a philosophical school of thought that places emphasis on practical ways of solving problems or doing things. According to Carolan (4), pragmatic environmentalism is the key to offering real-world solutions to environmental sustainability.

The atmosphere by delineation refers to the gaseous composition together with other particles that surround the surface of the earth. In the atmosphere, there are gases, and the solid particles that are in suspension. Scientifically, the atmosphere is divided into four major layers. Using the ascending order, the first layer is the troposphere that rises about 10-13 km from the surface of the earth. This is closely followed by the stratosphere that rises over 50km above, them the thermosphere that rises between 80-480 km, and lastly the exosphere that goes beyond the 480 km and gradually dissipates in the ...

Abstract

Crude oil, also known as petroleum, is one of the most important natural resources. It is a fossil fuel that is non-renewable and has different components such as hydrocarbon compounds and other materials like oxygen, sulphur, nitrogen, salt and water. It is normally extracted from the ground, under the seas, and on land and is then transported to refineries. Most of the substances are removed in the refinery, and the oil is broken down and blended into useful products (McCants, 1989). Some of these products include medicines, plastics, fabrics, dyes, cosmetics, and transport fuels. Transportation of crude oil is done ...

There is a serious debate on global warming in academic and media circles. The internet and media are my main sources of information on this issue. In addition, I have witnessed infrequent flooding and droughts which I associate with global warming. I am concerned because this phenomenon poses a lot of danger to current and future generations of humanity as well as flora and fauna.
The increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide is worrisome because it contributes immensely to the heating up of the earth’s surface. The concomitant rise in temperature leads to melting of polar ice and jeopardizing of ...

Global warming is mainly a process that uses the atmosphere of the earth as a blanket to hold energy from the sun to heat the air. As of now the global warming process has made the earth’s atmosphere hotter up to around 60 degrees Fahrenheit compared to the latter years. The effects of global warming are being experienced throughout the earth with increased temperatures and irregular weather patterns. The world has undergone several climatic changes over the past centuries. These past changes occurred slowly ranging over a period of hundreds of thousand years, but the process has been moving much faster ...

As sunshine moves through the atmosphere, it is impacted by air molecules, clouds and particulates, resulting in scattering of light. The extent to which light is dispersed by air molecules depends on the wavelength of the different inherent colors. Colors with shorter wavelengths are spread more than those with longer wavelengths. Blue is most susceptible to scattering thus explaining why the sky is blue. The visibility of light scattered by air molecules depends on the intensity of the light beam (University of Arizona).
On the other hand, when the atmosphere has matter like particulates and cloud drops, there ...

How were Uranus's rings discovered?

William Herschel was the first observer to mention that Uranus has a ring system in 1789. It was only a speculation since the astronomers that time could not observe any rings around Uranus. The discovery of the Uranian ring system was observed almost 200 years later by James Elliot, Edward, Dunham, and Douglas Mink in 1977. The discovery of the ring system of Uranus was only an accident when they grabbed the opportunity to observe the atmosphere of the planet using the occultation of the star SAO 158687. In their observations, they found out that the star suddenly disappeared for five ...

Assignment #4

When the economists sing “Good for me, good for you, bad for us” they mean that when individuals consume some common resource, they act rationally and independently, to maximize their gain but, at the same time, they are depleting this shared common resource, which is disadvantageous for all who share it, including these individuals. However, these individuals bear only a small portion of the cost associated with exploiting the common resource, while their benefit is substantial. As a result, people are automatically motivated to exploit commons as much as they can, although it is harmful for them and those around them ...

“Good for me, good for you, and bad for us” as sung by the economists implies the tragedy of the commons. The common in this case is the pasture, which ensures that the flocks of the two economists thrive. The sheep provide benefits to them such as wool and meat. When a single economist increases his flock (selfish interest) to reap the maximum benefits of the sheep, it is “good for him.” When the other economist also pursues his selfish interest and increases the number of his animals, it would be “good for him.” But since the pasture is shared ...

Introduction

Global warming refers to the gradual rise in the total temperature of the atmosphere of the earth. The rise in temperature is attributed to the effects of the greenhouse gases, which is caused by an increase in the levels of chlorofluorocarbons, carbon (IV) oxide and other pollutants. Global warming affects the climate system of the earth’s atmosphere by increasing both the terrestrial radiation and the radiation from the sun. The ozone is an essential element in the issue of global warming. The ozone absorbs the heat radiated from the sun and the surface of the earth, leading ...

For this paper, I have researched and studied the topic of Carbon Dioxide reduction. In this paper, my effort is to look at why Carbon Dioxide is harming the climate, where is it coming from and measures that are being taken to reduce it. It was around the 19th century when climatologists discovered that our atmosphere had certain gasses that produce a “greenhouse effect” and affect earth’ temperature. The greenhouse effect, simply explained, is when gasses trap the heat in our atmosphere. This is the phenomenon that keeps the earth a warm place. Without this effect, our planet would be a very ...

What is sunlight?

The sun provides tirelessly every square meter of the earth's surface, which it attacks, with an average of about 1370 watts of power (in the form of electromagnetic radiation). We say that the sun burns, but actually it does not. Instead, the sun is a giant nuclear reactor (Layton & Freudenrich, 2000). This solar energy is called the solar constant, since it does not change, except for minor fluctuations. Solar energy is sent in the form of light waves. Light is an electromagnetic wave. The frequency of light - or how fast the waves vibrate - determines the differences in color. ...

As a rule there are many components which compose the plot of a story. Some of them have a clearly central place in a text like major characters of a story. The others might seem quite peripheral and supplemental rather than independent and self-sufficient; still, they constitute an indispensable part of the story and help the writer convey the necessary mood and reach the desirable effect on the reader. Among the latters the setting of the story should be considered.
Even though the setting is not an active agent in the story, it plays a very significant role: with no actual actions prescribed by ...

Purpose

The purpose is to investigate how burning of coal as a fossil fuel contributes to the emission of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere.

Introduction

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas primarily emitted through human activities. The main human activity that emits CO2 is the combustion of fossil fuels which are, coal, natural gas and oil, for energy and transportation. Over the last 40 years, there has been significant growth in carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere.
According to Rapier (2014), global carbon dioxide emissions have increased from around 12 billion metric tons in 1965 to around 34 billion metric ...

Air pollutants include carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, toxic air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and sulfur dioxide (Vallero 2014, pp35). Carbon monoxide forms from burning fuels. Emissions are high when fuel is incompletely burned or engines are not properly tuned (Reitze 2001, pp. 532). Cars, furnaces, and heaters are the main producers of carbon monoxide when not properly maintained. Carbon monoxide leads to heart disease and death when inhaled.
Nitrogen dioxide originates from cars and power plants when fuel is burnt or when oxygen and nitrogen in the air react at high temperatures. The gas forms acidic rain ...

Ecological succession refers to the process of gradual change of the ecosystems. This is attributed to the fact that habitats do not remain constant and they keep changing over time. Succession is divided into two; there is primary succession and secondary succession. Primary succession refers to changes which occur on an environment that has never been colonized before, for instance, quarrying on land that has never been quarried before. Secondary succession on the other hand involves environmental disturbance ...

If there is one big problem that not only a particular country but the entire world has today, that would be global warming. Global warming refers to a process wherein there is a continuous rise in the temperature of the planet’s climate system. According to experts, since the latter half of the twentieth century, as much as ninety percent of the total rise in temperature accumulated has occurred in oceans and other bodies of water. This is because bodies of water have been identified as dominant carbon dioxide absorbers. However, it is important to remember that global warming does not only ...

The video “tragedy of the commons” is about the common resources and public goods and their reason of being problematic from the economic point of view. The economists in this video have sung a line that “Good for me, good for you, bad for us” which means that the common resources are depleting due to overuse. This is because people only consider their personal self interest, think about themselves and give importance to their own costs and benefits. There is misalignment of the incentives, which is arising from the improper use of the common resources.

Global warming is the gradual rise of the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere due to presence of certain gases in the atmosphere that traps heat. Under normal circumstances there are always gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. This is done by gases like water vapor and carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere. Others include methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons. They trap outgoing terrestrial long wave radiation and keep the earth’s atmosphere warm. Otherwise during night time when the solar radiation absorbed by the earth’s surface and the atmosphere escape, temperatures would ...

Global Warming: Cause and Mitigation
Global warming is the change in the climate due to the rise in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and the oceans. Ocean and climate are linked to each other and so oceans bear the effect of climate change as evidence by increase in the sea level and change in the temperature. This rise in the temperature of the earth’s surface caused increased global warming of the climate. This change in the climate in turn impacts the health of marine species, ecosystem and also humans. Similarly the greenhouse gases produced by ...

Water and Its Unique Properties

Water is has a unique physical and chemical properties which are essential to life and to the earth processes such as climate change. Water molecules generally consist of one oxygen atoms and two hydrogen atoms. However the atoms do not share equal electrons thereby making water slightly charged—exhibits polarity. Water molecules interact with other water molecule through a weak hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds allow water to interact also with other polar substances. Water is known as the universal solvent. Thus, it has the capacity to dissolve various polar substances like ammonia and nonpolar substances such as methane (Freudenrich, 2011).

Introduction

Climate change appears to be one of the most challenging tasks humanity is about to face and this problem puts an enormous amount of pressure and stress on our planet, as well as on our society, and will put even a greater one in future. Such a scenario is one of the worst ever imaginable, putting an asteroid hit, a super volcano eruption, or a super earthquake aside; major climate change will result in destructive floods, and shifted climate zones, with food production being threatened. Climate change is a serious issue of our present life, and if not altered, it will lead to a complete ...

Introduction

Global warming is a phenomenon that is used to describe the increase in the earth’s temperature (Maslin 9). Global warming as a phenomenon has contributed to climate change. Global warming develops from a situation referred to as the greenhouse effect. According to Maslin (9), energy from the sun that is reflected back to the atmosphere is normally trapped by the presence of greenhouse gases, which then results to the increase in temperature of the earth’s surface. The level of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has increased rapidly over the years, and this has contributed to increase in global warming.

What factors contributed to the problem?
Volcanic activity is a major contributing factor to the issue of climate change. The eruption of volcanoes leads to the release of large quantities of water vapor, ash, dust, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, these sulfur dioxide molecules will react with water vapor leading to the formation of sulfuric acid, which is then spread all over the world through winds. The sulfuric acid formed in the atmosphere can significantly affect the amount of solar radiation entering the Earth’s surface and thereby the ...

Introduction

Interactions between atmospheric energy and matter and with the surface of the earth play an important role in remote sensing. There is a constant interaction between the surface of the earth, electromagnetic radiation and the atmosphere. This interaction determines the spectral areas through which remote sensing can be done (Bucholtz, 1995, 2769). Electromagnetic radiation is propagated via the earth's atmosphere at the speed of light once it has been generated. Since the earth's atmosphere is not a vacuum, it has a different impact on the wavelength, spectral distribution, speed and direction of radiation.

Certain elements involved in the geochemical and biogeochemical cycling are of great concern due to their limited availability both naturally or through industrial manufacture of the compounds involved in the cycles. Some of the processes involved are chemical reactions with other elements or substances. Some of these reactions are irreversible chemical reactions. This implies once the reaction has taken place, the elements are removed from natural cycle and they cannot be replaced again. As such, the more the cases of irreversible reactions, the greater the rate of reduction of these elements from the environment. Ultimately, there could be less ...

Climate change, in contrast to what a surprisingly large segment of the public thinks, does indeed pose a significant threat to the way that we live. What makes a thorough understanding of the dangers of climate change is the fact that its effects are rarely large, one-time calamitous events, such as a terrorist attack; but rather slow persistent changes, like a small leak in a boat that, while dangerous, lull people into the belief that nothing is happening or that the situation is manageable. In addition, as Newton theorized in his third law, for every action there is an ...
