    environment we solely depend on for our survival. Since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) first report in 1990, the international community has known “emissions resulting from human activities are substantially increasing the atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and nitrous oxide.” (IPCC, 1990). The emissions put into the atmosphere by human actions will further the greenhouse effect that results in a warmer planet

  • Essay About Natural Disasters

    900 Words  | 2 Pages

    examples of least common disasters are volcanoes and heat waves. Even though volcanoes occur less, they create mass damage. A volcano is a vent in Earth’s crust. What causes volcanoes to erupt is that when magma rises closer to the Earth’s surface, the pressure decreases and the dissolved gases come out of the solution to form bubbles. Then as the bubbles expand, the magma is pushed into the vent until it breaks through weaknesses in the Earth’s crust. There are 3 types of volcanoes. Sleeping volcano

  • Ocean and Climate

    850 Words  | 2 Pages

    ocean transfers heat to the lower atmosphere forming a low pressure air mass over that part of the ocean. Cool or cold waters lead to the formation of a high pressure air mass. This affects jet streams, bands of fast-moving high altitude air currents. These streams supply energy to developing storms at lower altitudes. The ocean alters the direction of storms and some storms even reverse direction as result of ocean-influenced air pressure changes. The current in the ocean distributes the effects

    can determine the heated molecules inside of a bouncy ball giving us its great effect on its given height when dropped at its designated height. A lower temperature will lead to a lower pressure. As the temperature decreases, gas molecules contract and move around more slowly with less energy. Thus, lower pressure leads to a lower bounce of the ball. This then lead onto room temperature, the molecules inside of the bouncy ball remain the same, as there has not been any temperature used to affect the

  • Airplanes and Aerodynamics

    623 Words  | 2 Pages

    so far, is how is “Lift” and “Thrust” generated? The answer to how “Thrust” is generated is quite simple. Its sort of how a car would move, except in a much different way. Airplanes have 4 engines, which can each exert easily up to 200 PSI of air (pressure per square inch), composed of liquid fuel cylinders, and internal combustion (like a car). It also tops to 250 km per hour on the runway! But how “Lift” is generated is, the true definition of aerodynamics. The first thing you must consider to understand
