THIS week Brian Walters has a scientific poser for our Dr GreenEvening Chronicle (Newcastle, England)
What process recycles water from the biosphere to the atmosphere? What is one way phosphorus leaves the biosphere? How does carbon cause ocean acidification? How did the biosphere form? How does water move into the geosphere? How does energy ultimately leave the biosphere?
How does coal lead to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Is phosphorus a macronutrient, a micronutrient, or neither? Explain what its primary function is in plant growth and development. In nature, the carbon cycle is contributed to, by what?
This process does not produce volcanoes. This kind of boundary can develop later into a subduction zone. Some plates move against each other rather than push or pull apart. These transform plate boundaries rarely produce volcanic activity. Volcano Formation Flowing lava on Kilauea Volcano in ...
Once inside the secluded control room, we discover a calm that belies the sheer scale of the project before our eyes. Low voices and tapping of keys underpin the atmosphere of concentration. Occasionally a maritime radio crackles into life — the only tangible evidence of a hive of activity ta...
Technology solutions: Weather prediction currently does not rely on new technology -- if anything, it uses rather old technology such as radars that were first used in World War II. Despite the rather conservative methods of collecting data, innovation may improve forecasting. Advances in artif...
In fact, the culprit that led to these disasters is our humanity. According to the study, we use electrical appliances or other things every day will emit large amounts of carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide is a major factor in the temperature rise. If you reduce the use of electrical app...
Although the sector plays an indispensable role in keeping the movement of goods flowing, it does so at a cost to the environment. Every year, the sector consumes 300 million tons of fuel, releasing around 3 percent of the world’s carbo...
priorities, while formidable, can nevertheless be met with various solutions. Of these, one group has noteworthy promise: natural climate solutions (NCS), which consist of conservation, restoration, and land-management actions that either prevent emissions or remove c...
Carbon footprint. A measure of the total amount of greenhouse gasses released into the atmosphere as a result of an individual’s, organisation’s, or nation’s actions. It’s usually measured in tonnes of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent). Greenhouse gases (GHG). Any type of gas in the...
