Introduction
The number of private vehicles are now increasing. It is an alarming issue since more cars mean more sources of greenhouse gas emissions. These vehicles used traditional diesel and gasoline engines which emits large amounts of greenhouse gases (Barmore, 2013). The current number of cars reached about 1 billion. The largest quantity of cars is from the United States which is the birthplace of the land vehicles. The latest trend about the quantity of private vehicles is that it will be doubled in 2030. That is about 2 billion cars that are contributing to the air pollution in Continue reading...

Abstract

Cars have always played an important role in the course of human development. In the past, man had a vision to introduce an invention to transport people along long distances. To turn the vision of a self-propelling automobile into reality, it took the development of a reliable combustion engine that operated on liquid fuel. In 1672, the first steam-powered vehicle as a toy for the Chinese emperor was built by Ferdinand Verbiest, a member of a Jesuit mission in China. As the automobile industry grew, so did the rate of environmental pollution. Car engines are considered to be the Continue reading...

Literature Review

Tourism’s basic purpose is to visit other places, cultures, traditions and expand one’s experience of the world. That is why Murphy (2013) argued that tourism is natural renewable resource industry in which visitors visit only to admire. However, tourism is so popular that this industry is producing 5% of the world GDP currently (“United Nations Environment Programme,” 2014). Hence, with the growing amount of money in tourism, the tourism industry is becoming recklessly extravagant when it comes to exploiting resources and harming the planet. But in tourism, sustainability is important to avoid noxious effects on people, environment Continue reading...

- What causes climate change? Define the Greenhouse Effect

Greenhouse gases (GHG) allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere and absorbs the heat produced by that light. Most of this heat energy is trapped within the atmosphere by the GHG while some of them are let out into the space. The phenomenon of atmospheric heating due to the GHG is called as the greenhouse effect. Gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases form the greenhouse gases. Burning of fossil fuels, manufacturing processes, decay of organic matter, agricultural industries and emission of synthetic fluorinated gases from various industrial Continue reading...

Abstract

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and two methods of reducing these emissions

Greenhouse gas emissions are a rising concern facing the entire world today. Greenhouse gasses are essentially those chemical compounds found on earth which allow the passage of sunlight into the earth’s atmosphere. When the sun shines down upon the earth it emits light that penetrates into the Earth’s surface, however some of this light is reflected back into the space in the form of heat or infrared radiation. It is this radiation that is absorbed by the green house gasses and retained within the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are necessary to maintain the atmospheric temperature on earth. According Continue reading...

Abstract

Electrons of an atom exist in well defined energy levels which can jump to higher energy levels on absorbing thermal or electrical energy. The atomic absorption is subsequently followed by emission of light radiation. The wavelength of this emitted radiation is distinct and characteristic of every atom. With the help of a spectrometer the wavelength of these electromagnetic radiations can be visualized and measured. The emission lines in all other series for the atom can then be calculated using the Balmer-Rydberg equation. This establishes an inter-connection between the electronic transitions and the corresponding wavelengths which can be depicted in Continue reading...
