Earth's Atmosphere
- Evolution
- Photosynthesis
- Respiration
- Air
- Earths atmosphere is a mixture of
gasses surrounding the planet
- Oxygen, Nitrogen,
Carbon dioxide,
Water Vapour
- Carbon Monoxide
- Is caused by incomplete
combustion of petrol and
diesel
- The problem of carbon monoxide is that it's
poisonous and that you cant see or smell it
- The solution to fix this is a catalytic
converter as it removes the gas from
the exhaust and converts it to carbon
dioxide
- Polution
- Nitrogen dioxide
- Is caused by the internal combustion engine
- The problem of this is that it causes
photochemical smog and rain
- Solution to this problem is to
use a catalytic converter that
removes the gas from the engine
of a car
- Sulfur dioxide
- Sulfur dioxide formed when sulfur impurities
burn in fossil fuels
- causes acid rain that will kill plants, kill aquatic life,
erodes stonework and corrodes metals
- Sulfur dioxide is acidic so it can be
removed from a gas stream by passing
through alkaline solutions.
