All the nations of the earth both developed and developing countries has to deal and cope with the demands of the climate change. China is, therefore, not an exception. China has to deal with a wide range of climates from the tropics and deserts. Climate can be viewed in three dimensions, in that climate constraints economy and society, and the climate is a hazard and can bring about other disasters and hazards. In recent research, the Chinese culture has not yet developed as fast as other nations of the world though some argue that China had the start in ...

Abstract

The impact of salt on melting of ice can be described as utilizing atomic progression recreations. The harmony the point of solidification melancholy saw in the recreations is in great concurrence with trial information. The dynamic parts of liquefying are examined as far as the trading of water atoms amongst ice and the fluid stage (Brique, 1967). The ice/fluid harmony is a profoundly dynamic procedure with the incessant trade of water particles amongst ice and the fluid stage. The parity is irritated when ice dissolves and the softening continues in two phases; the restraint of the relationship of water ...

The air near the surface will usually become warmer throughout the day. This is one of the main reasons why it is unstable. Then at night, the air that is close to the surface will begin to cool. This is going to form a temperature inversion or a stable atmosphere.2. Inversions aloft are sometimes called “capping inversions” or “lids”. Why?

This is because it is like putting a lid on the atmosphere.

3. You are flying at 4,000 feet AGL over a city during the day. There are no clouds present. As you descend to land at a nearby airport, you notice that, although visibility was very good at 4, ...

The documentary film "Chasing Ice" is an award winning documentary about the unprecedented depletion and melting of ice mass and glaciers due to climate change. The documentary features the incredible video-graphing project headed by James Balog together with the Extreme Ice Survey. In this documentary, the viewers would be appalled by the truth behind ice calving and the melting of the ice, and how fast they melt due to global warming. As one of the viewers, I was stunned by the documentary, specifically because the documentary showed how quickly the ice are melting. In about a short period of ...

Introduction

Seasons are caused by tilting of the earth around its navigational plane known as the orbit around the sun. Climate change involves the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. When the earth is in the Southern and Northern hemisphere means that the season is at summer. Changes in the tilt of the earth lead to changes in the severity of the seasons, for example when there is more tilt leads to more severe seasons including warmer summers and colder winter and when the tilt ...

What does cyclogenesis mean? Cyclogenesis is the occurrence of cyclonic circulation in the Earth’s atmosphere as a result of low pressure area. It is basically an umbrella term for three different kinds of phenomena which result in the formation of cyclones.

Draw how winds flow around a high pressure system:

Draw how winds flow around a low pressure system: How can you tell by looking at the clouds whether the atmosphere is stable or unstable? Clouds give us a good hint of the stability and unstability of atmosphere. If we see clouds bubbling upwards, we realize that the atmosphere is unstable, whereas if we see flat horizontal clouds, ...

Christmas is considered to be both a religious holiday as well as a worldwide cultural event. Christians around the world celebrate Christmas in December to remember the birth of Jesus, their spiritual leader. However, this holiday began long before Jesus was born, and has changed throughout the years depending on the geography and climate of the country it is being celebrated in. The cultural phenomenon of Christmas first began centuries before the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, as cultures would celebrate the Winter Solstice. The importance of celebrating the Winter Solstice came out of the fact that many people worked ...

Is global climate caused by human activities?

Currently, the question on whether human activities cause global warming has sparked debates from environmental experts. The massive growth of the population has increased growth of consumption, and this poses threats to the global climate. The rise of the earth’s temperature is mainly caused by the gases released by greenhouses, especially carbon dioxide. It is saddening to note that the climatic changes affect the physical and biological systems across the universe. Global warming can only be decreased if the carbon output released by human activities is reduced. The Journal of Climate published a paper by Jara Imbers, Chris Huntingford, ...

Introduction and Thesis:

There are many causes and effects of, and solutions for climate change. Global warming and other climate change is now a scientific reality. It is no longer a question of if it can happen, it is already happening. The question now is how bad it is, how much worse it is going to get, and how quickly it is going to happen. The “Greenhouse Effect” refers to how some gasses that built up in the atmosphere are holding radiation in and work like the glass in a greenhouse to trap heat in. The effect of trapping the heat in the atmosphere is ...

Global cooling is a process of gradual cooling of the Earth. Hypothesis, which postulates a global cooling of the Earth's surface and its atmosphere until its glaciation. Hypothesis never had significant scientific support, but in its favor say some publications in scientific and popular scientific press about the cyclical ice ages and the trend decline in average temperature, observed from the 1940s to the 1970s. Now more common in academic circles is the hypothesis of global warming is increasing the earth's temperature, due to man-made human activities. According to ...

One can compare the Earth to a human being: a being that could grow old, withstand any challenges of being placed in mortal peril and could keep up with the changes of time. However, while the Earth cannot easily succumb to mortal peril like humans, the current threat it is facing may very well be the cause of its death. The threat of global warming or climate change has constantly dominated the scientific community and the public for the past few years since the discovery that the massive carbon emissions coming from man is slowly degrading the ozone layer, which protects ...

Abstract

Amylase from Bacillus Subtilis and Aspergillus oryzae were studied as representative candidates for bacterial and fungal enzymes, respectively. The activities of these two enzymes were studies comparatively over a period of 10 minutes and at temperatures of 0, 40, 60 and 95°C. The experiment was conducted to find the most effective temperatures for bacterial amylase and fungal amylase to catalyze starch hydrolysis. The data suggest that fungal enzyme was relatively more active, particularly in the first 6 minutes, than the bacterial counterpart at 0°C. On the other hand, the fungal enzyme activity deteriorated more rapidly than that ...

The aurora is a natural display of lights happening on the upper atmosphere, specifically, the magnetosphere, "the volume of space that surrounds the Earth" (Frequently Asked Questions about Aurora and Answers). It is a phenomenon that happens in the north and south poles, thus, the terms "northern lights" or the "southern lights. These lights are created when particles of the solar wind are sucked into the atmosphere with the help of Earth's magnetic fields. When this happens, the particles become energetically charged. As the "excited atom or molecule return[s] to the non-excited state [it sends] off a photon by making light" ( ...

Introduction

Discourse on global warming has always centered on two main questions. Is global warming a product that is consequential of human action? If so, can the human race ignite action towards the stop of global warming? Since the discourse started there is no consensus on the right answers to the two questions. Rather, the discourse has escalated to blame game that pits the developed world against the developing nations with the latter pointing accusing fingers to the former. It should be appreciated that the blame perhaps suffice as an indication that global warming is a consequence of human activity and thus ...

Global Warming: Fact or Fiction?

Global warming is the recorded and projected rise in the Earth’s average atmospheric and oceanic temperatures. In the year nineteen eighty six Svante Arrhenius, a Nobel Prize laureate from Sweden, brought to the attention of the world the imminent danger of global warming but nobody paid attention to his concerns. Today the topic of global warming has become a universal concern with everyone taking the threats posed by global warming seriously. The same people, whose activities contributed greatly to this problem, are more than willing to help in dealing with this problem. However, some people are skeptics who claim that ...

Global Warming and its Impact on the Environment

Introduction Global warming has been an issue of concern in the world’s environmental circles as there are growing concerns about its increase. It is the gradual rising in temperatures when green house gases that include carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane and water vapor are trapped within the earth’s atmosphere. This has caused the melting of the icecaps which have led to a rise in sea levels. Other effects of global warming are changing weather patterns which have caused flooding, heat waves and drought. All these effects show that global warming has impacted significantly on the environment. Since ...
