Studied by 4 people
"Developed from gases emitted by volcanic activity, initially composed of little to no oxygen, high carbon dioxide, ammonia, methane, and water vapor."
"Period when oxygen levels in Earth's atmosphere dramatically increased due to photosynthetic organisms, leading to a mass extinction event for anaerobic life forms."
"Occurs when fuel burns in abundant oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water."
"Occurs when fuel burns in limited oxygen, producing carbon monoxide, water, and carbon particulates."
"Process were greenhouse gases trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, maintaining a warmer temperature suitable for life."
"Include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and water vapor, which absorb and emit infrared radiation, warming the Earth's surface."
"Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, releasing greenhouse gases and contributing to global warming."
"A greenhouse gas released by human activities like burning fossil fuels, contributing to climate change."
"A potent greenhouse gas released from natural gas production, livestock digestion, and landfills."
"Result in carbon monoxide (CO), water (H2O), and carbon particulates when fuels burn in limited oxygen."
"Include rising sea levels, shifts in weather patterns, more frequent extreme weather events, and impacts on agriculture and biodiversity."
"Water safe for drinking, typically achieved through processes like sedimentation, filtration, and chlorination."
"Process of removing salt and minerals from seawater to produce fresh water, often using distillation or reverse osmosis."
"A gas released from burning fossil fuels containing sulfur impurities, contributing to acid rain and air pollution."
"Gases produced from burning fuels at high temperatures, contributing to smog, acid rain, and respiratory issues."
"Formed when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds react in the presence of sunlight, contributing to air pollution."
"Reduction in sunlight reaching Earth's surface due to particulate matter in the atmosphere, potentially caused by pollution."
"Include solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal power, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
"Caused by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides dissolving in rainwater, damaging ecosystems and infrastructure."
"Method to measure ancient atmospheric gas levels by studying ice cores, providing evidence of historical climate changes."
"Can lead to the formation of carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas harmful to human health."
"Include coal, oil, and natural gas, burned for energy production and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere."
"Energy sources that are naturally replenished, such as sunlight, wind, and geothermal heat, considered environmentally friendly."
