“Home” Video Lab 1.) As the Earth cooled water vapor became condensed causing it to fall as rain. The Earths balance in distance from the Sun enabled it to conserve this water in a liquid form. The water cut channels, took minerals from the soil and was added to the oceans. Oceans became heavy with salt. There are two types of bacteria that were then talked about in the film, Archaebacteria and Cyanobacteria. Archaebacteria survive in environments similar to those found on the young Earth, in

lower our contributions to the global warming before it is too late. Global warming is the increase of earth’s average surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation, which traps heat that would otherwise escape from earth. This is a type of greenhouse effect. Upon doing my research I discovered that human activities impact global warming. The effect of human activities on the atmosphere mainly is pollution

in the past century may be due to human activity such as burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, and deforestation. These factors release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which acts as a shield trapping solar energy and raising temperatures at the earth's surface. Plants and trees absorb carbon dioxide for the process of photosynthesis. As a result, deforestation reduces the absorption of carbon dioxide, which adds to the

sustainability, this particular document will be mostly geared towards the agricultural component of this relationship. More specifically, I plan to address connection between Brazil’s pursuit of agricultural sustainability and the rising levels of deforestation and land distribution inequality occurring in the country. In order to effectively illustrate this phenomenon, I will provide information as well a narrative to give a better understanding. Agriculture is certainly one of the most important

all life forms and mankind. However, Mongolians can’t keep the environmental balance in recent times. Thus, it is causing serious negative effects such as air and water pollution, deforestation, desertification and land degradation. I think that the worst problems now affecting Mongolia are pollution and deforestation. People say that Mongolia was called ‘A land of blue sky’ in 1970s. Nowadays, air pollution is one of the facing issues to our country, especially the capital city. Thermal power

Think about a time when your car was parked in the middle of a parking lot, in the middle of the day. The minute you opened the car door, you must have felt currents of hot air blowing past you. The moment you sat down, you might have felt as if your car was radiating heat! This is a small, yet effective example of a process called the GREENHOUSE EFFECT. This effect involves a certain body of matter, be it a car, or a green house in which plants are grown, or the earth itself, absorbing heat or radiation

anthropogenic dark particles in our atmosphere are a direct link to global warming and climate change. Burning fossil fuels for energy is the worlds leading man-made contribution.The second major contributor to the increase of greenhouse gases is deforestation. Deforestation accounts for 15% of carbon dioxide emissions according to the recent Union of Concerned Scientist (UCS) report, which is 5% less then the 2007 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Other human activities producing
