Resumen del Recurso

Module 4 'Resources'
  1. Greenhouse effect
    1. Major role in maintaining surface temperature of the Earth
      1. Human activity= producing more, affecting natural balance
        1. Global warming
          1. The process in which absorption and subsequent emission of infrared radiation by atmospheric gases warms the lower atmosphere and the planet's surface
            1. equilibrium
              1. atmospheric gases absorb energy at the same rate it radiates energy
              2. Methane CH4
                1. Carbon Dioxide CO2
                  1. Water H2O
                  2. Ozone production/breakdown
                      1. Production O2------>2O O+O2------------->O3+heat
                      2. Breakdown O2+O-------------> 2O2
                        1. Ozone levels dropping

                            1. CFCl3--------->Cl.+.CFCl2

                                  1. HCFCs replaced CFCs in ~15% of applications
                                  2. Catalytic Converter

                                                    1. Temporary bonds form between catalytic surface and molecules
                                                      1. Molecules react with each other
                                                        1. NO2 and CO2 are DESORBED from surface and diffuse from surface
