...Kedeisha Carty LAB QUESTIONS 1. Identify natural and human-made causes of climate change visible in the computer simulation. According to the computer model, how have sources of heat-trapping pollution changed from 1750 to today? How does the simulation predict they will change by 2050? The sources of heat-trapping pollution, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide have grown since 1750 to today and pushed up the temperature from 57ᵒF to 59ᵒF and by 2050 the temperature rose to 63ᵒF showing an even higher increase of pollution in a shorter span of years. These three sources occur naturally and are also produced by human acts. According to the simulation’s prediction, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide pollution in 1750 were most dominant with carbon dioxide in the lead, while methane was attributing the least amount of heat-trapping pollution. The simulation’s prediction of heat-trapping pollution in today’s world showed an increase in heat-trapping pollution build-up within the atmosphere and like before the sources were carbon dioxide (more dominant) and nitrous oxide; methane remained at a low concentration as before. By the year 2050, according to the simulation, the heat-trapping pollution increased at a higher significant rate than 1750 and today by 2050. In fact all three sources of heat-trapping pollution seemingly were at an even level in the polluted air. 2. According to the computer model and your readings, which source(s) of heat-trapping pollution contribute...

...Greenhouse Gases – Laboratory Assignment Prepared by XX 9/29/12 PART ONE Test 1 1750, Average temperature coming in at 57 degrees. Nearly an one to one ratio as equal amounts of both carbon dioxide CO2 and Methane CH4. Nitrous Oxide N2O was virtually invisible. It was a clean environment and It would be interesting to see just how fresh the air would have been to breath back in that time frame. There we're only a small rural farms, no automobile fossil fuels being burned. Test 2 Current: Average temperature coming in at 59 degrees. Carbon Dioxide CO2 is still being developed at a much greater rate with every increasing levels. Methane CH4 is having a harder time escaping, as the lever of build up has thickened. Nitrous Oxide N2O under microscopic review testing is appears to block red photons from being released back int the atmosphere. While some escape, most are being trapped. (Currently the USGCRP data showed since the pre industrial age, CO2 increased by 40%, CH4 by 148% and N2O by 18%) The test model animation could be flawed in how it is depicting the information based on these numbers. Test 3 2050 is not shaping up to be a comfortable place with an average temperature at 63 degrees. N20 Nitrous Oxide, is not escaping, and yellow photons are remaining trapped as well. Carbon Dioxide is escaping at a moderate level, with approximately, 1 out of six molecules bouncing back to earth. It is an exponential build-up with increased pollutions from an expanded...

...AP History addell Unit 1 8000 BCE-600 BCE Environment: Humans and their environment In Mesopotamia, new land was opened to agriculture by building and maintaining irrigation networks: canals brought water from river to field, drainage ditches carried water back to river, partial dams raised water level of river, and dikes protected against floods. States: Building, Expansion, Conflict Conquest gave some Mesopotamian city-states access to vital resources. Trade offered an alternative and long-distance commerce flourished. Social Structures: Development and Transformation The Law Code of Hammurabi, a Babylonian law code, reflects social divisions. It identifies three classes- 1) free land-owning class (royals, high-ranking officers, etc.) 2) dependent farmers and artisans 3) slaves employed for domestic service. The lower orders received the most severe punishments. Slaves were made out of POW. Cultures: Development and Interaction Ziggurats, a multistory, mud-brick, pyramid-shaped tower was built, yet scholars still wonder its function and symbolic meaning. Economic Systems: Creation, Expansion, Interaction Evidence of seagoing vessels that carried wood, metals, stone from foreign lands were exchanged with wool. cloth, barley, and vegetable oil. This trade helped boom the economy of Mesopotamia and other nearby countries such as Lebannon, Syria, Egypt, and Anatolia. Unit 2 600 BCE-600 CE Cultures: Development and Interaction The...

...Biology Assignment (speech) Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on planet earth. However more often than not varying human impacts can effect different organisms in different ways. An organism that is severely affected due to human impacts is the Corroboree Frog which is an indigenous species of frog that inhabits now only a small region of Kosciuszko National Park, in New South Whales. This particular organism is currently the worlds most endangered frog species with the Lehmann’s poison frog coming a close second in which is an animal native to Columbia. The corroboree frog is broken into the northern and southern corroboree frogs, however due to the changing climate and new environmental pressures that humans have highly contributed to, now reside within 50 kilometres of one another. The Scientific names for the two frogs are Pseudophryne Corroboree (southern) and the Pseudophyrne Pengilleyeis (northern). These frogs inhabit numerous sections of the Kosciuszko National Park, However mainly occur in the Snowy Mountain regions and nearby state forests. This is between 950 and 1750 meters above sea level. It is usual for the frogs to reside in cavities In vegetation and soil that have dominant substrates. Corroboree frogs during breeding season live in pools within sphagnum bogs wet tussock grasslands and wet heaths. As a whole they generally prefer shallow pools with low water flow and large surface area. However around mid-summer these pools dry up, which puts the...

...GLOBAL WARMING: NATURAL OR MAN-MADE? Donna Berg SCI 207: Dependence of Man on the Environment Instructor: Lincoln Simmons September 3, 2012 GLOBAL WARMING: NATURAL OR MAN-MADE There is no question that there is an increase in Earth’s temperature and we are experiencing what is referred to as global warming. The Earth has experienced this many times in history on a much larger scale, but, humans did not exist (and would not have been able to exist) at the time. The questions now are whether human actions are accelerating the process of global warming and possibly decreasing Earth’s future sustainability; and, if so, what, if anything, can we do to ensure that Earth will have the ability to sustain life for many many many future generations to come. Human activity has been linked to Earth's warming temperatures, rising seas, more intense storms, and a host of other environmental woes, because increases in greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth which results in global warming; however, global warming may just be caused by natural occurrences, such as cosmic rays, the sun, volcanic activity and the ocean. The combustion of fossil fuels input enormous emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere causing the atmospheric CO2 levels to rise radically. The academic textbook, Contemporary Environmental Issues states, “CO2 is the principal gas contributing to the enhanced greenhouse...

...Stephen R. Mink Christians and the Environment Liberty University Abstract: The environment is degrading mostly due to human causes. Christians have contributed to the problem, whether they realize it or not, and must become part of the solution. Awareness should be raised among people and in the church about environmental problems and things that can be done prevent further damage. Many small steps can be taken daily, such as recycling and saving power, which add up as more people do them. Causes, like the Evangelical Environmental Initiative, can be joined where Christians can volunteer their time and support. There are many things that cause problems and the sooner we rally support for environmental protection the sooner these problems can be remedied. This generation is paying for pollution but future generations, especially the poor, will suffer far worse if nothing is done. Christians should tend to the earth God created and have hearts of service which give a testimony for Christ. Paper: God gave mankind dominion over the earth He created. Over the past few generations humanity has failed in caring for the environment and many lack the initiative to make a change. Issues such as pollution, wastefulness, and attitudes of indifference must be addressed in hopes of reversing and preventing further environmental damage. Many Christians volunteer their time and support to combat these problems but there are those who bear a stigma against environmentalism or...

...INSERT TEACHERS NAME INSERT CLASS NAME AND NUMBER 13 November 2015 Royal Crown Derby ERP Case Every day in every town, in every state, in every country there are people who start their own businesses. Some of these businesses succeed and some of them fail, so everyday these people are asking themselves “Why did I fail? Where did I do wrong?” Those that fail can be businesses that had been open and thriving for many years, along with those that just opened and never even gets their name out into the market. Failure to market online is actually one of the top reasons that a business ends up closing its doors. It is estimated that approximately 80% of internet users have used the internet to research specific items and make an online purchase. Therefore, a business should be visible to customers during their online research when shopping. Many businesses allow customers who have already ordered items from them to provide feedback about the products that they have ordered and received from that business. Another reason that businesses fail to succeed is that they aren’t looking at this feedback and taking measures to make right the wrongs that society writes about them. Potential customers are looking at these comments- up to 81%, so why would a business owner not look at these comments themselves? Successful companies are able to create a brand, a way of saying “this is who we are and what we offer” and any media, web content and social media all have the potential of...

...Task 1: Geography and the Development/Diffusion of Human Societies Part A: Mesopotamia is regarded as the birth place of civilization. “Historians believe that large civilizations began in Mesopotamia between 4,000 and 3,000 B.C.E.” (Wandrei, 2015). The most significant geographical factor that I feel contributed to the development of this society was the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. These rivers are part of a larger area referred to as the “fertile crescent” due to its rich soil. The soil is extremely rich due to the large amount of silt (a mixture of rich soil and tiny rocks) deposits left from the rivers during flooding, making ideal farming areas. Although the area was ideal for farming it was still extremely difficult to do due to this regions climate that usually only produced ten inches or less of rain. So with the drought and still occasional flooding, the Mesopotamian society had to learn how to control these factors to be able to succeed in this region. They had to build an irrigation system to help protect their homes from the floods and move water to their fields during the droughts. With this irrigation system it allowed for them to have a surplus in crop. Also, having access to the rivers allowed for them to trade some of their surplus crops to obtain other needed supplies to help continue building their society. “With irrigation and the necessary drainage, southern Mesopotamia became a land of plenty that could support a considerable population” (Edzard...

...made to the environmental science and that have led to a better understanding of the Earth’s environment and our place in it, I have found out a lot of interesting information. I have found how women have made major contributions to the environmental service, boy scouts making contributions and some famous scientists who have made contributions. It was very interesting because I had never known that our environment is so important and that many people have had major impacts on it. I found it very interesting to see how the Boy Scouts of America have made some important contributions to environmental services. Many of the troops engage in trash collection and cleanup projects. They also follow the Leave No Trace laws while on camp-outs and other outdoor activities. These are young boys who care about the environment they live in and do whatever it is to help out. I think it’s so important for younger children to know about our environment. Our generations are becoming so tech savvy that it is unbelievable, instead of children helping out, they are using technology as an excuse that they can’t do any outdoor activities or helping change the environment we live in. Boy Scouts of America have made major contributions dating back to the 1700’s all the way until today. To be honest, I would have never known this if I didn’t do any research. I think it is so important to keep our environment clean and picking up trash for a good cause and it is such an amazing thing that we have people...

...Yalcin Mizrak HIST1050-07 Kyoto Protocol Research Kyoto Agreement Environmental Issues Burdens on the atmosphere and on Earth's natural environment in general have been increasing at a steady rate over the years. Since the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s, humans have been slowly but steadily polluting the environment through the means of emission of greenhouse gases. After realizing this issue at hand, the United Nations set out to find where the majority of these emissions came from and ways to limit the damage to the environment. The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which sets international binding emission reduction targets. It was adopted in Kyoto, Japan (hence its name) on December 11, 1997 and began to be enforced on February 16, 2005. Some actions that are required by the binding of the Protocol are improving energy efficiency, reducing deforestation, and supporting renewable energy. It has been recognized that developed countries, such as the United States, and various European countries, are principally responsible for the current high levels of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions in the atmosphere. The Protocol places a heavier burden on these developed nations under the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities". All of the United Nation members are parties to the Protocol except Andorra, Canada, South Sudan and the United States. The United States signed the Protocol...

...Warming The most important problem that concerns for many people all over the world is global warming. Global warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on Earth. As the Earth is getting hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts and floods are getting more frequent (by Karin Lindinger). Every problem has its own causes. Scientists have determined that a number of human activities are contributing to global warming by adding excessive amount of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Besides, global warming by natural and man-made causes. These causes above have the serious consequences. The effects of the global warming are of concern both for the environment and human life. It is impossible to know precisely what will happen to the Earth’s climate in the future. Over the last 100 years, the average temperature of the air near the Earth’s surface has risen a little less than 1 degree Celsius. Does not seem all that much? It is responsible for the conspicuous increase in storms, floods and raging forest fires we have seen in the last ten years. Scientists have determined that a number of human activities are contributing to global warming by adding excessive amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Greenhouses gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, fluorocarbons and water vapor accumulate in the atmosphere and trap heat that normally would exit into outer space. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main constituent of greenhouse gas. It is part of the natural...
