In order to be a tornado it has to be in contact with both the ground and the cloud base. A tornado is not always visible, however, the intense low pressure caused by high wind speeds and rapid rotations usually causes water vapor in the air to become visible, that’s why they can be seen. They rotate in cyclonic clockwise direction to move. Just because they are natural phenomenons that cause destruction, it doesn’t mean they are not beautiful and incredible. By only looking at a picture and forgetting that it can cause destruction you can see that they are something you obviously don’t see everyday and are a very interesting topic to discover and know more about.
Unfortunately, the activity of burning or combusting fossil fuels releases various kinds of hazardous substances and pollutants which eventually leads to changes in the environment; such as climate change, global warming, and changes in environmental health. Let us start with the change in climate or climate change. For over the past 150 years, the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil have caused the concentrations of heat-trapping "greenhouse gases" to increase significantly in our atmosphere. These gases prevent heat from escaping to space, somewhat like the glass panels of a greenhouse. It would change our climate, but it would not bring us close to the level of uninhabitable Venus.
These sources of pollution don’t simply have a negative impact on the world, but they can have a measurable effect on the health of human beings. Different types of pollution 1. Air Pollution Air pollution is defined as any contamination of the atmosphere that disturb the natural composition and chemistry of the air. This can be in the form of dust or excessive gases like carbon dioxide or other vapors. Air pollution comes from a wide variety of sources * Vehicle or manufacturing exhaust * Forest fires, volcanic eruption, dry soil erosion * Building construction or demolition Many scientists believe that global warming is also related to increased air pollution.
Effects of haboob to aviation are that it causes wind smear, damages a plane’s engines, and affects landing and taking off among others. This paper aims to explore some of the negative effects haboob causes to aviation. Introduction Haboob refers to a dust storm that is common in regions that experience extreme drought conditions (Miller, 2010). These regions mainly include arid and semi arid areas. When it occurs, there is transportation of large quantities of dust particles or sand particles affecting transportation through limiting visibility.
Not only does this leads to erosion but, when sand dunes occur this can cause health risk to the lives of citizens living in a particular area. In areas such as China which is rapidly turning into a desert has the most critical effect on this country. Critics want to plant trees to help offset set this horrible situation but this will not be a solution to the problem. As people continue to build homes and eliminate trees this might become an issue across the globe as global warming is on the rise. Erosion is powerful among desert and glacial areas.
The article talks about how El Niño affects people, it can cause diseases and food shortages as just two examples. The article goes on to discuss how people can effect El Niño. When El Niño occurs the oceans and the atmosphere shift which causes trade winds and warm water to move from west to east, La Niña is just the opposite. Scientists are unsure what causes El Niño and La Niña but Climatologists fear that rising air and water temperatures due in part to global warming will only increase the already drastic devastative power of El Niño. It is also a possibility that there will be a “permanent” El Niño in the future.
A global average temperature rise of only 1C could have serious implications. Possible consequences include melting of polar ice caps; an increase in sea level; and increases in precipitation and severe weather events like hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves, floods, and droughts. Indirect effects include increases in infectious disease, weather-related deaths, and food and water shortages. All these effects put a stress on ecosystems and agriculture, and threaten our planet as a whole. (Colborn, Kwiatkowski, Schiltz, and Bachran.,
Leakage (slow and abrupt) of CO2 during transport and storage besides posing health risks to humans and local flora and fauna may balance out the net effect of CCS on global warming. Elevated particulate emissions from the power plants and mining sites resulting ain air and water contamination may have negative impacts on the local people’s health and also far away populations (following theories of pollutant dispersion) which probably may not have benefitted (socio-economically) from the implementation of the project. Similarly, on a comparative
Looking back at our history we have come to see a pattern, for example: once the ecosystem becomes disturbed in any way it will cause a ripple effect that will lead to dire consequences affecting not only the creatures who roam this earth but the population as well. Birds are a fundamental part of this whole ecosystem. They are mesmerizing when you watch them soar across the sky so gracefully, they spread seeds among the earth, they eat other animals as well as other animals eat them; becoming part of a healthy food chain on our planet, and this world would not be able to survive without them. All the creatures of this earth, the plants on the ground, the animals in the sky and on the ground, the people that walk this earth, and everything else within this planet is influenced greatly by the help of birds. They help our planet by pest control (eating massive amounts of insects), monitoring our environment by pollinating the flowers of various plants, keeping our environment balanced, as well as recycling nutrients into our earth; without birds, humans are more likely to cease existing.
They lose their habitat and forced to move to new location; besides, many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes. It is undeniable that deforestation itself has extreme effect on Global warming and hurts the air. Global warming means that air and ocean temperature is increasing. Greenhouse gases exist primarily because of human activity. Unfortunately, humans are the most polluting species on the planet.
