Document Summary
Global warming: both involves, both involve interactions of compounds with the sun"s output. Methods used to decrease carbon concentrations in the atmosphere: plant trees b. Atmospheric co2 concentrations in the geologic past: can be correlated with glacial events, can be correlated with average global temperatures. Western us has less surface water than the east due to: less precipitation and more evaporation. Us and chine greenhouse emissions: the us will attempt to cut net greenhouse gas emissions 26-28 percent below. 2 most abundant gases in the earth"s atmosphere are o2 and n2. Quickest cheapest and most effective way to reduce the buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is to a. Effects of ozone depletion include: worse sunburn, more skin cancer, eye damage to humans and animals, effects on plankton production rates, not increase in temperature. The element carbon is found in: petroleum, coal, natural gas, plants, gas mainly responsible for global warming.
