Carbon emissions affect the planet significantly, as they are the greenhouse gas with the highest levels of emissions in the atmosphere. This, of course, causes global warming and ultimately, climate change. Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels — coal, natural gas, an...
根据第四段“When the discarded fruit and vegetables decompose, they release(释放) methane (CH.), a greenhouse gas. When released into the air, it is about 86 times as powerful as carbon dioxide (CO,) over a 20-year period. Waste is, in fact, the ugliest thing of all.(当被丢弃的...
Explain how the burning of fossil fuels could result in a rise in the temperature of the global environment. What are three ways in which humans affect the carbon cycle? What are the biological impacts of these actions? Explain. How is the phosphorus cycle different than the nitrogen and...
As climate change stokes larger and more intense wildfires, firestorms are likely to become more common. Here’s why they occur and what makes them so dangerous.
A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) generated by our actions. These gases, primarily carbon dioxide, are released into the atmosphere and contribute to climate change. One’s carbon footprint can be seen as a measure of the impact one's activities have ...
Styrofoam cups are cheap and convenient, but also harmful to the environment. Learn why styrofoam is harmful and what you can do to help!
Many environmental problems are man-made, stemming from improper disposal of hazardous materials and fossil fuel emissions. In fact, the Green Student University website reports that 3.2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide are released into the environment each year. These environmental problems are...
You breathe so regularly that it is easy to take your lungs for granted. You can't even stop yourself from breathing if you try! Lungs are the organs that help you breathe. They take a gas that your body needs to get rid of (carbon dioxide) and exchange it for a gas that your ...
Many reptiles, for example, raise their temperature by resting in the sun or on warm surfaces. Cold-blooded animals tend to have a relatively low metabolism. They're also poikilothermic; their internal temperatures vary depending on their environment and activity. So, are dinosaurs homeothermic ...
Agriculture is becoming a substantial contributor to carbon emissions in China, and the efficient reduction of agricultural carbon emissions (ACEs) has become a universal concern. Currently, the digital transformation of agriculture (DTA) provides a new way to reduce carbon emissions. However, questions...
