An aerosol is a colloidal liquid gas solid suspended in a?
An aerosol is a colloidal suspension of fine particles (solid or liquid) in a gas.
When did the enhanced greenhouse effect occur?
When we began to seriously burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) we released billions of tones of EXTRA carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This changed the natural greenhouse effect to an enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect.
Why should you turn off the light when I am sleeping to reduce global warming?
Turning off the lights when not in use helps reduce energy consumption, which in turn reduces the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced from generating electricity. This can help mitigate the effects of global warming by lowering the overall carbon footprint associated with energy use.
The earth has always needed the greenhouse effect so we don't all freeze to death. However, since the industrial revolution we have gradually been burning more and more fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) and so adding more and more carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases already there. Cattle (for beef and milk) also belch out methane, which is a twenty times more dangerous greenhouse gas, and every day more and more forest land is being cleared for cattle.
If the earth warms by only a degree or two many crop lands will turn to desert and many countries will become uninhabitable, with no means of growing crops or providing water to the inhabitants. There will be millions of global warming refugees, desperately looking for other countries to move to.
What is a reason that alternative energy sources are needed?
As a fact there is a great demand in the current energy market. So alternate sources of energy are necessary because we will run out of fuel. Also we can get green and clean energy if we consider for alternate energy source. But we have to make a right decision on which kind of alternate energy source actually works.
How much carbon dioxide is reduced per million btu's?
Carbon dioxide emissions vary depending on the fuel. Natural gas (the cleanest fuel) produces about 117 lb CO2/106BTU. Coal, on the oter hand, produces about 225 lb CO2/106BTU. Liquid fuels (gasoline, diesel and furnace fuel) are in the middle of the range.
How do plants help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and what is the process called?
Plants and other types of vegetation and trees use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for their photosynthesisprocess, a process "that converts carbon dioxideinto organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight".
What are gases that breakdown the ozone layer and that come from spray cans and aerosol called?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are gases used in spray cans and aerosols that can break down the ozone layer. When released into the atmosphere, they can react with ozone molecules and contribute to ozone depletion.
What are two hypotheses for the cause of global warming?
Global warming becomes more pronounced during winter in which region?
Global warming tends to be more pronounced during winter in the Arctic region. This is due to feedback mechanisms such as sea ice melting and reduced albedo effect, which amplify warming in the region. Rising temperatures in the Arctic also contribute to changes in weather patterns globally.
Chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride, and other ozone-depleting substances released into the atmosphere contribute to the weakening of the ozone layer. These chemicals break down ozone molecules and reduce the concentration of ozone in the stratosphere, leading to the formation of the ozone hole.
How do you make an awareness campaign to educate people about global warming?
In the US, where the education is needed most, one way is to tax gasoline so that it goes to $5 or $6 per gallon and stays there. Put the money into development of technologies that we have known about for decades, and did nothing with them because we could always get as much as we wanted anyway. Then people will really want to know what is going on. It is always easier teaching a motivated audience.
What can humans do to reduce climate change?
They have to confirm the climate and then prepare the shops/stores for the weather coming .. and give out blankets to the poor when it is almost winter .
if people, dont treat this. Then the earth will die, so clean up streets to reveal a secret clue, to win the royal rumble 2011. I hate undertaker's undefeated streak at mummymania it will be 18-1 not 19-0
Is water seeping into the cracks of rocks and freezing an example of physical weathering?
Yes, as the water freezes it expands and cracks the rock a little bit more pushing off pieces.
This is a process of mechanical / physical weathering- called 'frost wedging' or 'freeze thaw'.

Global Warming sa Pilipinas - (Sulating Pormal)
Maraming isyu ang kinakaharap ng ating bansa sa kasalukuyan. Ngunit kung ako'y bibigyan ng pagkakataon na maging bahagi ng mga isyung ito, ang una kong pagtutuunan ng pansin ay ang isyu tungkol sa ating kapaligiran. Ginawa ko ang sanaysay na ito upang mailahad ko ang mga bagay na aking naiisip na kaakibat ng ating kapaligiran sa kasalukuyang panahon.
Patuloy na nasisira ang ating kapaligiran, dahilan upang magkaroon ng negatibong pagbabago hindi lamang dito sa ating bansa bagkus pati na rin sa buong sadaigdig. Ang lumalalang sitwasyon ay nagiging dahilan upang magkaroon ng pangyayari na tinatawag na global warming. Ang global warming ay ang pagtaas ng temperature ng ating mga karagatan at atmosphere at ang patuloy na paglala nito. Sinasabi ng mga scientist at mga eksperto na ang dahilan nito ay ang pagsusunog ng mga fossil fuels na nagiging sanhi ng pagkasira ng ozone layer n gating atmosphere. At dahil unti-unting nabubutas ang ozone layer, ang init na galing sa araw o itong tinatawag na sun's rays na mapanganib sa ating kapaligiran kung ito'y direktang makapapasok ay siya na ngang nagyayari sa kasalukuyang panahon. Ang ozone layer ang siyang nagsisilbing taga-sala nito o filter upang hindi ang mga mabubuting sinag lamang ang makapasok sa ating atmosphere.
Sa isyu ng global warming, napakahalaga na pagtuunan ng pansin ang mga bagay na nagiging dahilan ng ganitong pangyayari. Alamin, sa abot ng makakaya, ang mga sanhi ng global warming. Sa ganitong paraan, malalaman natin ang mga dahilan ng pagkasira ng ating atmosphere at magagawan natin ng paraan. Maiiwasan natin ang mga gawaing nakapagdudulot ng unti-unting pagkabutas ng ating ozone layer gaya ng pagsusunod ng mga fossil fuels.
Hindi lamang sa ating henerasyon maaaring makaapekto ang global warming. Higit na mararamdaman ito ng ating mga anak at kanilang mga pamilya kung hindi natin maaagapan ang pagkasira n gating kapaligiran. Marapat lamang na hanggang maaga ay kumilos tayo upang hindi na lumala pa ang sitwasyon. Kailangan lamang na magkaisa tayo upang masolusyunan natin ang problemang kinakaharap. Malaki ang ambag ng bawat isa sa pagkakaroon ng mabuti at malinis na kapaligiran. Huwag n asana tayong dumagdag pa sa mga taong patuloy ang pagsira sa ating kapaligiran. 2011 Sanaysay sa Filipino.

What would reducing the emission of Carbon Dioxide by 50 percent do to the economy?
That depends upon how it is done. If we switched to renewable alternative energy supplies, the economy would actually be stimulated, and our foreign trade deficit would be substantially reduced. It would be great for our economy.
If we just suddenly stopped importing fuel without developing alternatives, that would reduce our CO2 emissions close to 50%, but the economic impact would be severe.
What is the primary reason the globalization leads to greater global pollution?
Globalization often leads to increased production and consumption, which in turn leads to more pollution. Companies may prioritize cost savings over environmental concerns and may take advantage of lax regulations in other countries, resulting in higher levels of pollution. Additionally, the transportation of goods across long distances further contributes to carbon emissions and pollution.
What are the greenhouses gasses?
the names of green house gases are :- water vapour
carbon dioxide
methane
ozone
Any gas with three or more atomes is considered a green house gas. Water vapor makes up about 80% of all green house gas.
What effect does combustion have on global warming leading to adverse effect on crops?
Combustion has the effect of emitting carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide emissions should be released at a stable rate but human beings do it so much that the existing plants on earth cannot soak up all the carbon dioxide on their own.
What species might migrate away from southern Ontario as the climate changes?
Species that may migrate away from southern Ontario as the climate changes include those that require cooler temperatures and are unable to adapt to warmer conditions. This could include some species of birds, such as the Boreal Chickadee, that rely on specific habitats that may shift northward. Additionally, certain species of plants and animals that are sensitive to changing temperature and precipitation patterns may also migrate away from the region.
How do planetary wind belts affect climate of landmass in mid-latitutes?
There are sometime converging and diverging winds, which makes there be different pressure. Having a low pressure will make it cool, clear, and dry. With a high pressure it will be hazy, hot and humid.
Effect of summer season on in India on farmers?
The summer season in India can have a significant impact on farmers. High temperatures and lack of rainfall can lead to drought conditions, crop failures, and water scarcity for irrigation. This can result in financial losses for farmers, food shortages, and distress for rural communities. On the other hand, some crops like mangoes and watermelons thrive during the summer, providing opportunities for income generation.
A tariff is a tax levied by the government on the importation of goods.
Where does the most important weather phenomena occur at?
The most important weather phenomena occur in the atmosphere, specifically in the troposphere which is the layer closest to the Earth's surface. This is where most weather events, such as storms, clouds, and precipitation, take place and have a direct impact on our daily lives and the environment.
Why is it important to reduce CO2 emissions?
You should consider your carbon footprint because this is a measure of how much you add to global warming. You can then plan ways of reducing your use of fossil fuel energy, leaving a lighter mark on the planet.
