<span>1. </span><span>Two ways that man can reduce the global
warming is by reducing carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) emissions. One way is
by planting more trees. Forests are reservoirs for carbon since their remove
carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the process of photosynthesis. Second is
by reducing the use of fossil fuels to produce energy. Fossil fuels are the biggest emitter
of carbon dioxide in their combustion</span>
<span>2. </span>Greenhouse<span> gases permit infrared rays from the sun
to pass through them but do not allow heat to escape into the atmosphere. When infrared hits the earth's surface
it turns to the heat wave that has much longer wavelengths. This causes the earth’s atmosphere to retain more heat hence
increased global temperatures.</span>
<span>3. </span><span>When greenhouse gases especially carbon dioxide are reduced in the
atmosphere, the earth is able to radiate more sunlight back into space due to the reduced greenhouse effect. This
enables the global temperatures to remain low. At the poles where temperatures are cold remains
even colder hence the waters in these regions turn to glaciers. The ice continents increase in size and hence a big characteristic
of ice ages. </span>
<span>4. </span><span>Humans are not responsible for global warming even though they contribute but in minimal proportions
as compared to the natural process. This is because
it is estimated that termites produce even more carbon dioxide than humans. Ice
ages and global warming are therefore natural
cycles governed by the sun. However,
human activity aggravates global warming. </span>
Mass number = protons + neutrons
If you have the # of protons and the mass #, subtract the number of protons from the mass number to get the number of neutrons.
If you have the number of neutrons and the mass number, subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.
Cross over is the first way genes are shuffled to give rise to genetic diversity. Cross over takes place in sexual reproduction. The normal way that cross over occurs is chromosomes line up side by side and break off pieces of themselves, then trade those pieces with each other.
If they break the pieces at the same locus in the sequence of base pairs, the result is an exchange of genes called genetic recombination and it ensures that the daughter cells produced have a different genetic makeup from the parent cell and thus diversity occurs.
The Sun is the basic source of energy for the Earth which affect the growth of all living things and the Sun also affect the all the biochemical processes. We know that the amount of radiation from the Sun changes day by day due to the distance of the Earth from the Sun. The rate of Solar energy affects the Earth in two ways.
The rate of solar heating which directly affects the processes like the evaporation and condensation and indirectly it affects the cloud forming processes of the Earth. The rate at which the solar energy reaches the Earth is called as the Total Solar Irradiance or TSI. This affects the climate of the Earth in many ways.
The change in rate of cloud formation increases of decreases with the distance of the Sun from Earth and hence a warm, moderate or cold climate is formed
It also affects the formation of winds due to the low or high pressure in the water bodies and hence affect the climate in the coastal areas.
The tropical areas have hot and humid climate due to the equator which has maximum exposure to the Sun’s heat.
Hence, the Sun is one primary feature that affects the climate in the Earth.
