Global Warming

Daniel Vettor

Greenhouse help grow plants that are not used to being in that environment. Greenhouses are warmer than the outside air. You could also go to google.com and search what greenhouses do for more details... hope I could help

latitude affects precipitation (rainfall) because places near the equator are generally hotter and more humid than regions near the poles. When hot and humid air rises it freezes and looses humidity. The humidity is now released into the air and there is condensation. The condensation produces clouds and it rains. This does not happen much near poles because of the lack of humidity.

If it hasn't been opened, the air particles inside gain kinetic energy, meaning that the bag will expand and eventually pop.

Then the sun's heat is transferred into the particles of the bag, and so the particles move apart, melting the bag. If extreme heat, the bag may face sublimation. (Looking at the particle matter through the particle theory of matter.)

Petapak Aerosol Corportion has developed a PET aerosol bottle which it is going to launch into North America, ASIA & Europe in 2012.

I am going to assume your talking about Fahrenheit. Which would take 32 degrees Fahrenheit for ice to begin to melt (albeit slowly). If you come from a place that uses Celsius its understandable to be confused by this at it will seem illogical as Celsius is a simpler and a more logical way to measure temperature.

Plants reduce global warming by absorbing the carbon dioxide that causes global warming. Annuals release the CO2 they absorb. Deciduous tree leaves take up billions of tons of CO2 each spring, but release that CO2 back into the air each fall as they die and rot.

Trees in general pull CO2 out of the air, and hold if for hundreds of years. It takes energy to harvest those trees, saw them into lumber, and build homes out of them. But in general trees are a good way to sequester atmospheric carbon.

This phenomenon is known as global warming. Excess carbon dioxide traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in average temperatures across the planet. This can have severe consequences for the environment, including melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather patterns.

Yes, NOx gases are considered greenhouse gases. They contribute to global warming by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Additionally, they play a role in the formation of smog and acid rain.

One example is clouds forming as warm air rises, expands, and cools in the atmosphere. The cooling causes water vapor in the air to condense into tiny water droplets or ice crystals, creating visible cloud formations. This process is known as adiabatic cooling.

The three reasons why the atmosphere is important is that the atmosphere traps heat from the sun, that way it keeps us warm and the ocean from freezing up. Also is important because it helps you from deadly rays from the sun like UV rays. Lastly it is it important because it helps you breath by giving Oxygen to us, then us letting put Carbon Dioxide to the plants and trees, and the plants give us Oxygen!!!! Its the Circle of Life!

When waves transfer energy to an object, the object's molecules start vibrating, creating heat as a form of energy. This process is known as thermal conduction, where the wave's energy is converted into heat energy within the object.

To calculate runoff in the water cycle, you need to consider factors such as precipitation, infiltration, evaporation, and soil composition. Runoff is the water that flows over the land surface and eventually into rivers, streams, and oceans. You can estimate runoff by subtracting the amount of water that infiltrates the soil or evaporates from the total precipitation. Factors like slope of the land, vegetation cover, and human activities can also affect the amount of runoff.

The Earth's atmosphere remains close to its surface due to gravity that keeps the gases from escaping into space. The atmosphere is held in place by the Earth's gravitational force, allowing it to envelop the planet and provide the necessary conditions for life to exist.

Clouds are one of the big unknowns about global warming as they can have a range of effects,

warmer temperatures caused by global warming will result in higher rates of evaporation and therefore will result in higher cloud cover.

in turn higher cloud cover can increase night time temperatures by acting as insulation and preventing heat escaping the atmosphere during the night.

At the same time clouds can reflect sunlight resulting in reduced daytime temperatures.

the local impact of clouds will depend on the humidity of an area.

At first, people burnt small quantities of coal or coke in their fireplaces for warmth.

The consumption of fossil fuels is really by means such as burning coal or oil to generate electricity, or using oil products as automotive fuels. This releases carbon dioxide, additional to the natural carbon cycle, and contributes to global warming.

No, Cellular Respiration returns carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere:

Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Light Energy -> Sugar + Oxygen

Cellular Respiration: Sugar + Oxygen -> C.R. -> Carbon Dioxide + Water

The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing each year. We have stations carefully tracking CO2 concentration changes. The value swings up and down seasonally, as northern hemisphere plant foliage dies in the fall and begins growing in the spring and summer. But the overall trend is upward, as humans pump more CO2 into the air each year from fossil sources than the earth can absorb.

CO2 naturally rises and falls, and over the past 800,000 years the levels have varied from 250 to 290 ppm, generally swinging up or down about 5 ppm per thousand years. 7000 years ago CO2 was at 260 ppm. By only 5000 years ago it had risen to 270 and it was at 280 ppm 3000 years ago.

In 1700 it was again at 280 ppm, but by 1900, in just two short centuries, it rose to 290 ppm. That was 10 times faster than the natural historic change. Still, not a huge concern. At that rate of growth we would not have exceeded 350 ppm (what many scientists consider a maximum sustainable level) for centuries to come.

But we began increasing our consumption of fossil fuel, so that from 1900 to 1950 CO2 rose another 10 ppm, to 300. By 1958 it had risen to 315 ppm--15 ppm in under a decade, and it has continued accelerating in the intervening decades. We are now pushing 400 ppm, and will exceed 500 ppm before 2050.

Hailstorms and floods are both severe weather events caused by atmospheric conditions. Hailstorms produce large hailstones that can cause damage to property and crops, while floods occur when an excessive amount of water accumulates in an area, leading to overflowing rivers, streams, and drainage systems. Both hailstorms and floods can result in significant destruction and pose risks to human safety.

The ozone layer can be affected by natural events such as volcanic eruptions, which release gases and particles that can impact ozone concentration. Additionally, changes in temperature and wind patterns in the atmosphere can alter the distribution of ozone molecules in the stratosphere.

It depends on which way you are facing. If you are facing north then it appears to be moving from your front to behind you. If you are facing west then it is moving from your right to your left. If you are facing east then it is moving from your left to your right. If you are facing south then it is coming from behind you and going out in front of you. Regardless of where you are standing on the equator, south is still south, north is still north, east is east and west is west. The only place where some question may occur is if you are standing on the exact north or south pole. If you are exactly on the north pole, then all wind comes from the south and goes to the south. That's because as you stand on the North Pole and point, everywhere that you point is south. The same happens at the South Pole. Everywhere you point is north. It is like the question, "If you are in a square house and all four walls face south, and a bear walks past, what color is the bear?" The bear is white because it is a polar bear. The only place that the house can be, is dead center on the North Pole. Hope that helped.
