major cause of global warming is the use of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas that were formed from the remains of plant material deposited during the earth's carboniferous period. We have known for only a few thousand years that coal, oil, and natural gas can be burned to provide energy. It was not until the mid-1800s, however, that we began to burn very large quantities of these fossil fuels. The worldwide consumption of fossil fuel has increased dramatically. The world

Geothermal energy which is heat energy can be found in almost everywhere on Earth. It is a renewable energy derived from heat deep in the Earth’s crust. The word “geothermal” comes from Greek words meaning “Earth” (geo) and heat (thermal), it means using the nature heat produced inside the Earth. (Davor Habjanec,2008)The use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago with the settlement of Paleo-Indians in hot springs. The technology of geothermal energy improved each year. In 1904

The only way water supply can be controlled in such regions is through storage.it can either be on the surface or subsurface.in fact, ground water storage is superior to conventional dams, because it would use little surface land and cause no environmental damage with much less evaporation losses. 2.4.1 NATURAL RECHARGE: Natural recharge may come from several sources: deep percolation of precipitation, percolation of water through streambeds, and subsurface inflow from adjacent formations. Advantages

The ocean is constantly in motion. The energy that arrives into the oceanic system on the planetary scales create large scale mean flows that are constantly breaking down into smaller scales features. The most important source of energy is the differential solar heat, warmer in the equator and colder in the poles. With the water transport, also heat, nutrients, salt, organisms and chemical particles in the ocean are moved, regulating the planet whether, climate and marine ecosystems. Both large scale

The burning of fossil fuels has many negative effects on the earth. “Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil, or natural gas. They are formed from the remains of dead plants and animals” (RelightNY). The combustion of these fossil fuels releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, daily. This contributes to global warming. The improper disposal of oil and garbage causes land, water and air pollution. Renewable energy sources occur naturally and are inexhaustible.

Global warming is a very sensitive topic and one of the biggest troubles facing the world nowadays. Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperatures of the air and sea at Earth’s surface and the climate change. Over decades, scientists and researchers have made plenty of researches and decided that the temperature of the world is rising. However, this increase in temperature is mainly due to human activities on the Earth’s surface. In its recently released Fourth Assessment Report
