  • It is often allowed to escape by industries because there were fewer regulations when the industry began.
  • Bad design, for example, of automobiles, means that pollution and waste gases are allowed to escape into the atmosphere.
  • It also escapes from faulty pipes in factories or in machinery, like oil leaking from cars. Rain then washes the oil into our waterways.

What is dirty air that does not allow heat to escape?

Dirty air that does not allow heat to escape refers to smog pollution. Smog is a type of air pollution that forms when harmful pollutants, such as vehicle emissions, react with sunlight. Smog can trap heat near the Earth's surface, leading to higher temperatures and poor air quality.


What is it called when pollution allows sunlight to heat the earth but the heat cannot escape thus the earth is getting hotter?

This process is called the Greenhouse Effect.


What causes Global Warming on Earth?

We pollute the Earth and then from that pollution (such as coal, fuel, gasses, etc a layer forms on the Earth. We use fuel, we pollute more (did you cows also have a MAJOR part in this part) etc and it nothing can escape from from the atmosphere because of that layer of pollution so the Earth gets warm. And since nothing can escape its still building up and getting worse.


Is there air pollution due to massive population and mountains?

There most definitely is air pollution due to a large population, and mountains accentuate the effects that air pollution can have on the environment. Larger populations produce more air pollution by using more transportation, producing more waste, and requiring more factories, along with numerous other harmful polluting practices. Mountains exacerbate the pollution in a region by trapping in the pollution and allowing it to build up for many years, without being able to escape the region and disperse throughout the atmosphere.


Which is more dangerous point pollution or nonpoint pollution?

Point pollution is when the pollution happens right there, where the factory chimneys are, where the oil pipe breaks, or the oil tanker crashes, or the nuclear power plant explodes. The pollution is at the point where it happened.Non-point pollution is when the pollution happened somewhere else. Fumes escape from cars on the highway. The oil tanker crashed up there, but the pollution ran across the roads and landscape and into the ditch and into the waterways and into the ocean. The pollution ends up at the non-point where it happened.You can't say which is more dangerous, because it depends what the pollution is. A nuclear accident is usually more dangerous at point because the radiation weakens as it moves further away from the source. Oil pollution is damaging at point, but is more dangerous if the oil gets into the waterways and oceans where it can do a lot of damage. Pollution from a coal-burning power station is huge and constant.
