Carbon footprint refers to the number of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, that an individual or community emits over time due to their actions. Carbon footprint is measured in units of ca
One type of greenhouse gas is methane. “Methane, for example, is a greenhouse gas that is twenty-one times as potent as carbon dioxide.” (“Global Warming and Climate Change”) Methane is more harmful to the environment because plants cannot absorb it and turn it into oxygen, plants can...
If we introduce a new methane emission source at a certain rate of kilograms per year, atmospheric methane concentrations will rise for about 20 years, but then stabilize as the emission rate comes into balance with natural sinks. Most of the resulting warming will stabilize with concentration,...
How does the climate system connect with methane? How are microorganisms involved in the carbon cycle? How have greenhouse gases affected the biosphere? Where does gas exchange occur in plants? How does the climate system connect with fossil fuels? How does wind energy affect the carbon cycle?
The food webs in the ocean often contain many more trophic levels than those found on land as in the ocean there are many different sizes of fish and other species that in turn prey upon successively smaller species. This means that for top-level predators, their diets potentially depend on...
First, education promotes environmental awareness, which in turn encourages the pro-environmental behaviour of the people. The pro-environmental behaviour of the people leads to support for environmental policy and efficient use of energy. Additionally, educated people are expected to earn more income,...
How are H2, CO2, and methane produced in the human gut? Why is CO2 not used as a measure of bacterial fermentation? What should be added to a fermenter to keep yeast growing inside it? In the triple sugar fermentation test, why is the triple sugar iron agar called a multi-test sy...
Thus, it is imperative to extend this research at the country level to attain further insights into the influences of these policies. In future research, other determinants of environmental performance such as methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases can be used in the analysis. Our study ...
When proportions of different soil surfaces of the study area were taken into account, the soil was either a source or a sink for methane depending on the site, but site preparation did not have a significant effect (Strömgren et al., 2016). Strömgren et al., (2016) found that ...
How many moles of CO2 are produced when 5.70 mol of ethane are burned in an excess of oxygen? What's the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of carbon? At what temperature does gasoline turn to vapor? An industrial burner uses methane as its fuel. The stoichiometric combustion equat...
