Ozone depletion results an increase in exposure into ultraviolet radiation that causes skin cancer, cataracts, premature aging, and damages ecosystem, crops, materials, and finishes.]]> 2016-09-17 11:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124510764 josephine_oh https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124510850 http://www.vembadiscu.com/2015/index.php/biology/environment/ozone-depletion]]> 2016-09-17 11:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124510850 josephine_oh https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124510921 The world began to tightened the restrictions on the production of ozone-depleting chemicals. Due to this effort, the concentration of CFCs and other ozone-depleting compounds in the atmosphere began to fade away. However, the ozone layer will take years to recover.]]> 2016-09-17 11:27:25 UTC https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124510921 josephine_oh https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124599030 Acid deposition originated from pollutants is one of a global problem with social, economic, and environmental impacts. Acid deposition is referred to rain and snow with pH of less than 5.7 and deposition of acid particles and gases. This acidified lakes; hundreds of lakes are no longer able to support aquatic life, and thousands are on the verge of ecological collapse.]]> 2016-09-18 23:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124599030 josephine_oh https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124599672 Acidity kills aquatic organisms, impairing growth and reproduction. It also leaches heavy metals which are harmful to fishes, from the soil. Acid deposition affects birds which live near the lakes and aquatic species (ie. salamanders) which are the key sources of food chain. Acid deposition damages forests and affect crops. ]]> 2016-09-18 23:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124599672 josephine_oh https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124600010 http://study.com/academy/lesson/acid-rain-effects-causes-quiz.html]]> 2016-09-18 23:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124600010 josephine_oh https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124600301 Sunlight that striking the Earth and its atmosphere is converted into heat and eventually radiates back into space. Natural and human-generated factors influence the amount of solar radiation striking the Earth and the rate at which heat escapes, thus influencing the temperature of Earth's atmosphere. 
These factors cause greenhouse gases; scientists found evidences that directly shows the global warming is happening.]]> 2016-09-18 23:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124600301 josephine_oh https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124600644 Although natural forces affect the global warming and global climate change, human activities are the main force of global warming and global climate change.
Global temperature increases shift rainfall patterns, increasing precipitation in some areas and decreasing in others. Rising temperatures can also result more violent and costly storms such as tornadoes and hurricanes.]]> 2016-09-19 00:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124600644 josephine_oh https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124600867 2016-09-19 00:05:40 UTC https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124600867 josephine_oh https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124600991 http://www.moyak.com/papers/tuvalu-climate-change.html]]> 2016-09-19 00:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/josephine_oh/8ilgzt37qf4s/wish/124600991
