We have all noticed that if we hike from a place with low elevation and go up at a place with high elevation, that the temperature is gradually dropping, thus giving us a clue that the lower places are warmer, while the higher places are cooler. The reason for this, even though both the places with low and high elevation are located in the troposphere, thus the same atmospheric layer, is that the density of it is not the same everywhere. The troposphere has the highest density at its lowest points, and as the height increase the density decreases. Since the higher parts are less dense, that means that there are less gases, thus there are less molecules that are further apart from each other. This results in lesser absorption of heat, so this parts are cooler, while the lower parts are warmer because the troposphere is denser, there's more molecules that are also closer to each other, thus they absorb more heat.
Answer: The release of methane from thawed permafrost
Explanation:
With increasing global warming, permafrost in the arctic is melting. The carbon and methyl clathrates present in permafrost escape into the atmosphere to form carbon dioxide and methane, both greenhouse gases.
In the Arctic, molecules of methane are trapped in ice crystals as methyl clathrates. When the temperature increases, these crystals release methyl clathrates which become methane when in contact with the atmosphere.
The cause of the increasing atmospheric
is due to the the thawing of dead organisms present in the permafrost. As the permafrost melts, these organisms decay and release
into the atmosphere.
Over the past 50 years, six Nile Basin countries have built 25 hydroelectric dams.
Tropical, subtropical, and moist broadleaf forest
Urbanization refers to those areas of urban that can grow by increasing human population or migration of people from rural to urban areas & then it impacts our environment like deforestation, habitat loss and decreased of biodiversity.
Air pollution due to the high concentration of traffic and industries. Increased a greenhouse gas due to which it emissions a high levels of energy consumption and transportation. Urbanization affects our environment by improper or insufficient waste or smelly problem in urban areas.
Light pollution can be a ecological issues with different consequences. loss of green space and increase of heat island is also effected. It also affect our health due to increased risk of disease by overcrowding .
