Pacific Storms
In this article, "Science: Asia smog fuelling Pacific storms 'will melt Arctic ice': Scientists highlight threat from big rise in emissions: 'Severe pollution' blamed on rapid industrialization" the author discusses how the smog and air pollution from Asian cities affect the Pacific Ocean. In addition, that will cause warming of the Arctic. The average of storm clouds has increased the last 20 years, especially in industrial cities in places such as India and China. The Pacific's storm system plays in the Earth’s atmosphere and transporting heat. Rapid industrialization has caused air pollution over many countries such as India and China. Dr Wilson said, " the more pollution particles there are in the air, the smaller the water droplets will be." Dr Zhang, who is the leader for a research team, said they found the Pacific storms came from pollution clouds. Also, he said in the future they need to study more in the science community with global climate models.
There are indications that the Earth's temperature has been the rise steadily since 200 years ago. It is not worst weather, but some physical and biological indicators of environment have changed. Scientists expect that the Earth's temperature will increase more than ever during cent. Next year they expect that over the next hundred years it will become a more heated atmosphere on the Earth. and is not seen him rights seen before, because environmental regulations and certain forms of wildlife would lose the ability to adapt to changes. There are three problems that affect the Pacific Coast's life: air problems, ships risks, and nuclear experiences.
First, throughout history there are have been main source that pollute the atmospheres. The first reason is the natural causes that usually come from volcanoes. Volcanoes spread harmful gases into the natural air, which changes the weather. Next, the unnatural causes that are caused by human being, for example, burning forests, industrial plants, and transportation. All of these factors have affected negatively on the natural air by releasing gas in the some of carbon monoxide poison, and sulfur dioxide. Therefore, Pacific Coast's air has been polluted by volcanoes and industries.
Second, ship traffic is one of the biggest reasons for water pollution. Ships’ huge fans have two effects on water. They release small pieces of metals into water that pollute the ocean. In addition, the ship fans could kill many of the ocean's animals. Next, some ships that travel on seas transport oil and chemical materials. There are some leakages from these ships which would affect the ocean. For example, when the ocean's animals are affected by the pollution, they will die or get diseases. People who eat these animals will have health problems. So, ship’s transportation has a negative effect on the ecosystem in oceans.
Finally, nuclear energy or atomic energy is the energy released when atoms turn a door to another component atom. Radiation that comes from the nuclear plants causes genetic effects and birth defects. For example, nuclear radiation affects skin and hair color, and eyes. Also, it has negative effects on the new generation. The second problem from nuclear power is the leakages. The leakages in the ocean would kill the ocean's animals. Furthermore, the leakages in water also pollute the fresh water that people drink. Therefore, nuclear energy in the Pacific Ocean pollutes the ocean.
In conclusion, the pollution increases every day, and that affects our health and our environment. In addition, that affects the animals which live in the Pacific Ocean. Also, the ship traffic affects the ocean when they spread the chemical material. I hope do what we need to save our ocean and our environment to make good and healthy lives. We need to solve these problems to live in the future.
