vegetation and rainfall could end up leading us to higher prices in our stock market for goods, food and any other product. Global warming has everything to do with our climate including our differences in today’s weather. Climate is earth’s weather over a long period of time or a specific period of time. When talking about weather, it is only within twenty four hours to a week at the most. Global warming also affects the animals and other species in its region. For example, polar bears

problems that we will encounter? What can be the possible solutions to the said event? Based on the film, Global Warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere. This is because of the heat also known as the “Infrared Rays” from the Sun which cannot rise up to the space. This happens because the atmosphere is blocked with Carbon Dioxide CO2 that prevents the heat to come out. Carbon Dioxide from vehicles, factories, and the like produces more and more elements that trap the

from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. After 7 ½ months of flight, Mariner 4 reached the surface of mars and took the first pictures of the Martian planet. Since then we have launched more than 40 spacecrafts to mars, from orbiters that fly by the atmosphere to landers that have been on the surface of Mars (“10 things to know about mars”) . Today we still continue to progressively learn and to explore the famous red planet. Mars is the same age as Earth. The whole solar system and everything

Although the idea of an asteroid colliding with Earth is common trope in science fiction, the threat of such an event is very real. Thousands of asteroids and comets in our solar system have been identified as possible threats known as near-Earth objects, or NEOs. Though many are relatively small, even small asteroids can cause disproportionate devastation. Due to the threat NEOs pose, they are being monitored by government agencies. Several methods of protecting the planet from collision have

let it out. Similarly, the earth's atmosphere contains certain gases called GREENHOUSE GASES such as Carbon Dioxide or water vapor or Ozone or Methane, which absorb the radiations we receive from the sun, and trap the heat from it inside. In other words, our atmosphere, which contains the green house gases acts like a blanket; it absorbs heat from the sun, and prevents the heat inside from going away from the earth's surface. The more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the more the heat gets trapped

or an effect of human industrial activity that has become a heated issue (Christiansen, 1995). This activity started in the 1990s. The greenhouse effect is generated by water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gases in the atmosphere that reflect back heat radiating from the Earth’s surface. “Without the greenhouse effect, the average temperature on Earth would be about –18 degrees Celsius (0 degree Fahrenheit)” (Christiansen, 1995). In other words the planet’s temperature is warming and is causing

There are a few hypotheses out there in regards to the origin of how the earth’s moon was formed of where it came from. One of these hypotheses states that 5.55 billion years ago the newly formed earth had started to attain its size and had formed its layers. During that period there were still many planets the size of mars and mercury moving around the solar system closet to earth. The theory was that since the earth had formed most its layers that many of the iron minerals had made its way to the

Its Impacts The Earth’s climate is immensely susceptible to perturbations of natural systems. These fluctuations are incredibly cyclic, and have been studied to shift between periods of warm and cold temperature anomalies. Although the Earth cycles naturally on its own, it is evident that excessive emission production is enhancing the greenhouse effect, and therefore causing natural climatic shifts to happen at a faster rate. People are discernibly prone to assume that since Earth’s climate cycles
