The Green House Gas

The Green house effect. When sunlight travels through the atmosphere to earths surface. Earths surface then gives off infared radiation. Much of this energy is held by the atmosphere therefore heating the air. But not all of the infared radiation can make it back out to space. The leftovers are then absorbed by water vapor, carbon dioxide, and many other gases. Many animals should be worried about this although they may not know it. It is a big problem and it is one of the major causes to global warming. It is destroying much habitat for arctic animals.

SMOGYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!1


PhotoChemical Smog is formed by the action of sunlight on pollutants such as Hydro Carbons and Nitrogen oxides in the air. These chemicals react and form a brownish mixtureof ozone and other pollutants. The ozone here in the troposphere created by the mixtures of hydro carbons and nitrogen oxides from the sunlight can cause irritation to the throat, eyes, and lungs. Many newer cars cause less polution and so do many new powerplants. People can also use other forms of transportation too. Such as walking or riding a bike.
