Does burning fossil fuels cause more or less pollution than soil erosion dust storms and forest fires?
Burning fossil fuels will cause less pollution than soil erosion, dust storms, and forest fires. Soil erosion pollutes waterways. Dust storms spreads air pollutants, and forest fires are one of the largest polluters in the world, releasing carbon dioxide and other products of combustion into the atmosphere.
Can burning fossil fuels causes more pollution than soil erosion dust storms and forest fires together?
No. Soil erosion of farmlands has a tendency to pollute waterways. Dust storms do little in the way of actual pollution other than placing a layer of dust on everything, unless there are pollutants in the dust. However, forest fires, both man-made and natural, are one of the largest polluters in the world, releasing smoke, CO2, and other products of combustion directly into the atmosphere, as well as polluting nearby rivers and streams. The greenhouse gases released by forest fires worldwide amount to about 17% of the total; man-made sources amount to about 11% of the total.
Are dust storms farming photochemical smog and forest fires sources of air pollution?
no
What are the four main sources of ai pollution?
Dust storms farming burning fossil fuels forest fires
How do forests help protect us from storms?
Trees in the forest act as wind-breaks, and their roots help slow the effects or erosion.
What is natural pollution?
Natural pollution refers to pollutants or contaminants that are released into the environment as a result of natural processes, such as volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and erosion. These pollutants can include gases, particulate matter, and chemicals that can have detrimental effects on ecosystems and human health.
Name three natural process and three human activites that cause air pollution?
three natural processes are forest fires, soil erosion, and dust storms. three human activities are burning fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel), cars and other motor vehicles, and factories and power plants that burn coal and oil also release pollution.
Does landslide cause more erosion than tornadoes or storms?
Compared to tornadoes, yes. Tornadoes generally do not cause much erosion. With storms, it is tricky, as many landslides are triggered by storms. However, in areas prone to landslides, such events likely cause the greates portion of erosion.
What are three causes of erosion are?
Three causes of erosion are: Natural factors such as wind, water, and ice that wear away soil and rocks over time. Human activities like deforestation, mining, and construction that remove vegetation and disrupt natural drainage patterns, increasing erosion. Climate change, which can lead to more intense rainfall and storms, exacerbating erosion processes.
What type of storms the deciduous forest?
droughts
How does a Tropical Storm affect the lithosphere?
Tropical storms can cause erosion.
What causes sandbar erosion?
Sandbar erosion can be caused by factors such as strong wave action from storms, changes in water currents, sea level rise, human activities (such as dredging and construction), and natural processes like tides and wind. These factors can lead to the displacement or removal of sand from the sandbars, causing erosion over time.
