ReplyDelete1. The stratosphere is the zone 15 to 50 km above Earth's surface, containing the concentration of ozone gas.
2. The ozone layer absorbs dangerous ultraviolet rays from the sun.
3. Some examples of CFC's are insulation materials, aerosols, refrigeration and air conditioning. CFC-12 is a chemical in air conditioners and other CFC's that destroys the ozone particles in the stratosphere.
4. Kiribati is located in the South Pacific, east of Australia and south of Hawaii.
5. Global warming raises the level of the oceans, flooding Kiribati which is within a few meters of the sea level.
6. A good example of a youtube clip showing water pollution would be "Top Ten Polluted Places". Bangladesh is a developing country in stage three where people dump trash in the seas, rivers, and ocean. Bangladesh is a stage 2 country based on the demographic transition model.
Your explanation of the ozone was very good and it helped me to understand it more clearly. Also thank you clarifying where Kiribati is located.
DeleteYou had a lot of good examples for the CFC's. I had no clue that Kiribati was a place or where it was located. Very good answers; precise.
DeleteI did not know the ozone was located in the stratosphere. I knew where Kiribati was, but thank you for reminding me. Solid responses.
DeleteThank you for explaining the effects of global warming. This also helped me realize the importance of the ozone layer. I also didn't know where the ozone layer was located in the atmosphere.
DeleteIt is very interesting that Kiribati almost flooded from global warming. This helped me realize how much the world is affected by harmful gases.
Delete1. Geographers are particularly interested in the worst damage is not experienced at the same location as the emission of the pollutants.
ReplyDelete2. The three are air pollution, solid waste pollution, and water pollution.
3. The worst area for concentrations of particulates in America is in Southern California.
4. The top ten polluted cities are located in developing regions. Including 4 in Iran and South Asia.
5. The government catalytic converters on motor vehicles and have reduced carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and hydrocarbon emissions.
6. Hazaribagh, Bangladesh is an example of waste pollution in a stage 3, developing country.
Learning that acid rain does not happen at the source of pollution tells us that all people could be in danger. Even though most pollution happens in developing countries it can greatly affect developed countries through acid rain. I was interesting to learn that most pollution in the US comes from Southern California because it is normally associated with green movements. Even with what the US government has done to reduce pollution I would have expected it to be worse in the northeast because of the population density.
DeleteI did not know Southern California was the worst area for concentrations of particulates. I could have guessed that the most polluted areas are in Iran and South Asia, but thanks for the enlightenment. Good job.
DeleteRealizing that the places that give off the pollution are not really the ones in danger makes me curios. When could we get a fall of acid rain? I'm glad to see the government is working on slowing pollution.
DeleteNoticing the amount of harm pollution is doing, I am surprised that there is not more done to combat it.
DeleteI had no clue that the greatest concentration of particulates was in Southern California. I expected it to be in a bigger city like New York. That was a fantastic answer.

ReplyDeleteCoach Woodward it is now 10:15 pm and only one post was up therefore I am going to sleep. Have a nice night.
ReplyDeleteI had no clue that so many polluted areas were in South Asia. I did not know that they were only concerned with the worst damage. These were very short answers, but they were all correct.

ReplyDelete1. Air pollution is concentration of trace substances at a greater level than occurs in average air. Concentrations of these trace substances can be harmful to everything in the environment.
ReplyDelete2. When a country's per capita income increases so does it's per capita carbon dioxide emissions. Some wealthy countries in Europe are the exception.
3. Air pollution by humans such as burning fossil fuels may have caused global warming. We should worry about it because global warming may damage the ozone layer.
4. Air pollution is generated from factories, power plants, and motor vehicles.
5. The greenhouse effect is the anticipated increase in Earth's temperature caused by carbon dioxide (emitted from burning fossil fuels) trapping some of the radiation emitted by the surface.
6. The most polluted place in the video was Dzershinsk, Russia. Russia is a developed country which is about in stage 3 of the demographic transition model.
I find it strange that the per capita carbon dioxide emissions increases with the per capita income. I still don't know what to think of global warming though. I know that humans effect the Earth, but I still don't know about global warming.
DeleteThis comment helps me to understand where and what pollution is doing to Earth.
DeleteThanks for the good explanation that explains why rich countries normally pollute more than LDCs.
DeleteI didn't really know how pollution was hurting earth until this. Now I know- I also know that MDCs and LDCs pollute at much lesser levels
DeleteThis was really eye opening information

ReplyDelete1. Point source pollution enters the environment at a specific location. Non-point pollution comes from a large diffused area. An example of non-point source pollution is the air pollution in Mexico City. An example of point source pollution is water pollution in the Ogeechee River.
2. The Areal Sea has been shrinking because the water from the Areal Sea is being diverted to water cotton fields.
3. BOD is biochemical oxygen demand
4. Polluted water from municipal sewage and industrial waste can cause many diseases to the skin and organs, such as cholera.
5. Warm non-polluted water can heat up the temperature of the body of water endangering the fish in it that are adapted to cold water, such as salmon.
6. An example of a place with air pollution is Mexico City, which is in a developing country. Mexico is in stage 3 of the demographic transition.
This gave a nice insight into the world, and I am eternally grateful for this opportunity.
