Photochemical Smog
London Smog
Acid Rain
certain gases (H2O vapor, CO2, NO, Methane) in the atmosphere absorb
energy from sun
Gases help to trap the energy and maintains earths temperature
Green houses gases: Methane, CO2, NO2 and CFCs
Enhanced Green House effect (Global
Warming)
green house is natural phenomenon
that is responsible for life on earth
But due to industrialization,
concentration of green house gases
increasing making earth warmer
leading to global warming
the air (carbon dioxide or CO2) into stored soil carbon. Carbon dioxide is
taken up by plants through the process of photosynthesis and incorporated
into living plant matter.
As the plants die, the carbon-based leaves, stems and roots decay in the soil
and become soil organic matter. This is the basic process called carbon
sequestration.
Enhancing Natural Sequestration
Artificial Sequestration
is reflected from the earths surface. This buildup of heat could lead to
global warming
Through carbon sequestration, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are
reduced as soil organic carbon levels increase
If the soil organic carbon is undisturbed, it can remain in the soil for many
years as stable organic matter
This carbon is then sequestered or removed from the pool available to be
recycled to the atmosphere
This process reduces CO2 levels in the atmosphere, reducing the chances of
global warming
