How do industrial development disturb the atmosphere?

Industry uses fuel that it burns to heat water, to then create steam and turn turbines for electricity. Burning this fuel releases harmful chemicals like carbon monoxide and sulphur into the atmosphere. a good example is coal, when burning coal, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide and other crap is released into the atmosphere. These gases damage the ozone (a protective layer of gases in the atmosphere that protect the earth from the suns ultraviolet rays) layer. so the more industry you have and you develop, the more of these gases are going to be released into the atmosphere.


Why is ecological pyramid shaped like a pyramid?

A graphical model that is shaped like a pyramid to show how the energy flows through a food chain, how the amount of energy is decreasing and becoming less available for organisms as it enters each trophic level, and how much of the energy in the ecosystem is lost to the atmosphere as heat.


Why is your atmosphere so important?

the atmosphere is important because without the atmosphere the oxygen would escape from our atmosphere into space and without the atmosphere we would all dye because there would be nothing to protect us from the suns heat


Heat energy is transferred from the sun to the solar panel by. what?

solar energy


How did the Industrial Revolution impact the environment?

more greenhouse gases were emitted because of factories and steam trains and therefore the concerntration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increased and the natural greenhouse process was accelerated, thereby heating the earth.

Why does earths atmosphere trap energy from the sun?

The atmosphere traps energy from the sun because in our atmosphere are greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. These three-atom gases absorb the heat rising from the earth's surface.

Are greenhouse gases in the atmosphere valued as fuel?

No. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat, and heat is energy, but we have no way of using this energy for ourselves as fuel. This extra energy in the atmosphere will be expended in more severe weather, like storms and cyclones.


How do greenhouse gases trap heat in earths atmosphere?

Greenhouse gases aren't trapping heat it but letting more in. The Earth's atmosphere blocks out most of the suns heat and harmful rays. With the gases polluting the world, the atmosphere is slowly weakening, letting more and more heat through.


What is the amount of heat energy in the earths atmosphere is referred to as?

Longwave radiation.


What is a heat energy that is trapped by the earth atmosphere and cannot return to space?

This is standard heat energy that is trapped by greenhouse gases.
