Also methane is release from the ocean floor since it was froze and changed to methane clathrates in the ice age. We don’t know how much amount of methane clathrates we have on the ocean floor but it is a numerous amount. Methane is also been created by the decomposition of biomass for example trash or anything that you throw to the garbage. Each year we have 30 to 70 million tons of methane produce in landfill. So all this waste are killing the planet.
Changes in power rate schedule: Till 1983 the power companies charged a flat rate for supplying electricity regardless of the horsepower of motors. Hence Oil companies deployed motors with high horsepower due to high torque requirement. This results in overmotoring, subsequently low power factors. In 1984, Power companies have revised the rates to graduated schedule based on connected horsepower of an installation and also demanded their customers to improve low power factors by avoiding overmotoring. Steps taken by customers: Hamilton Oil Company is the largest oil company active in Canada and operating 30% of the total oil producing wells.
The cigarette is the deadliest object in the history of human civilization. “Tobacco use causes 6 million deaths per year” (Fast Facts). Despite these many deaths, tobacco is still available all over Canada. Smoking tobacco should be made illegal in Canada. In view of facts that it causes health problems, costs the government millions and is also harmful for the environment.
We have removed a lot of plants to make more factories. This hurts our environment and the carbon cycle. Wright, & Boorse (2014) wrote, “By burning fossil fuels, we have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide by 35% over preindustrial levels.” Carbon dioxide is good because it keeps the world warm, without the warmness, the world would be cold, but too much carbon dioxide is what is causing global warming. The Phosphorus cycle
Effects of acid rain on leafs Abstract: Because of the over pollution in the world many environment around the world have been damaged and destroyed by acid rain. Acid rain is the precipitation that has high levels of acid forming chemicals, coming from multiple chemicals being released in the atmosphere that combines with the water vapor in the atmosphere. The importance of this lab is to show the effect of acid rain has on a plant showing how it damages the plant over a period of 20 days. This experiment is meant to show how damaging acid rain is to the environment and why we should be concerned about this issue. Introduction: The reasons for this study it to show the effect of acid rain on plants more specifically sunflower, radish, and clovers.
Fukushima, the nuclear power plants center, had been one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters regions. Serious damage affected many industries, and it greatly change Japan’s state of macroeconomy from several parts. Exports continued to fall because electronics industry, car industry and food industry that are important portion of Japan’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) were seriously damaged. The country accounts for 16.5 percent of that revenue in the consumer electronics industry (“Japan quake”, 2011). Sony, Toshiba, Kyocera, and Canon, are among the many industry heavyweights in the industry headquartered in Japan.
Each of these impacts normally has a bad side effect that ruins an ecosystem. The Carbon cycle is the flow of carbon throughout an ecosystem. An example of this cycle would be grass absorbing carbon dioxide from the air then having a cow eat the grass, which would be then eaten by a human. Humans effect this cycle more commonly out of the three. Anytime we burn fossil fuels the carbon cycle is being affected.
HOW HUMANS IMPACT CARBON,PHOSPHOROUS,NITROGEN CYCLE The nitrogen cycle is impacted by humans whenever fertilizers are applied to farmlands to help crops grow. This adds nitrate to the soil. If the soil erodes the nitrates are transported and deposited to the nearest body of water. This can cause algae to overgrow in a process called eutrophication. The lake will run out of oxygen as the algae dies off the decomposition.
This is called Acid Rain. Acid rain effects the environment in several ways, the effects to the plants and animals depend on the level of acidity of the water. Implications such as decrease in marine life, reduce in growth of forests (led to death of forest over time), damages buildings, bridges, and cultural objects (statues and monuments). Acid rain also effects human health and makes it difficult to see as clearly through clean air. The decrease in fish is caused by the high acidic water levels.
The mixture of this exhaust and the moisture of the air soon turn into acid rain. The acid in the rain damages plants severely causing them to die and making our planet a little less green and pleasant. The damage to the ozone layer causes global warming which brings us weather changes. As you may have already noticed, Georgia’s weather has changed a lot since 2006 at least. We are now experiencing snow storms, freezing rain, and temperatures below 20 degrees.
