Impacts of the 4 spheres

  • Invention of the steam engine

    Invention of the steam engine-creates damage to the Atmosphere due to the steam that is produced.The efficiency of internal combustion engines depends on several factors, one of which is the compression ratio. Most gasoline (petrol) engines have a geometric compression ratio (the compression ratio calculated purely from the geometry of the mechanical parts) of 10:1 (premium fuel) or 9:1 (regular fuel), with some engines reaching a ratio of 12:1 or more. The greater the compression ratio the more
  • Arrival of the first fleet and begining of deforestation on Australia

    The first fleet arrived in Australia and they started to clear the forest,when they started to build houses,buildings and factories.This destroyed the Biosphere.Deforestation still is happening today and is still destroying the Bioshere.More than 80 percent of the Earth’s natural forests already have been destroyed. Australia has lost nearly 40% of its forests, but much of the remaining native vegetation is highly fragmented.
  • Creation of Coal Gas

    Coal Gas is a flamable gas-Coal Gas creates damage to the Atmosphere and produces smoke which also damages to the Atmosphere.It contains carbon Monoxide,which damages the Atmosphere and destroys the ozone layer.
  • The first train traveling from liverpool and manchester,UK

    The trains use steam,which is made from coal,and it produces gases which causes damage to the Atmosphere.Cable hauling of freight trains was down the steeply-graded 1.26-mile Wapping Tunnel to Liverpool Docks from Edge Hill junction.
  • Refining of petrol

    The invention of petrol,produces Carbon Monoxide when it is sparked in the internal combustion engine.Causes damage to the Atmosphere. Petroleum refining has been called "one of the most heavily regulated industries in the United States.According to a recent EPA fact sheet, EPA has recently settled enforcement actions with companies comprising over 30% of U. S. domestic refining capacity, and is currently engaged in settlement negotiations with companies comprising an
  • Invention of Dynamite

    Alfred Nobel creates Dynamite-This causes damage to the Lithosphere and the Biosphere.In 1867, Nobel received U.S. patent number 78,317 for his dynamite. To be able to detonate the dynamite rods, Nobel also improved his detonator (blasting cap) so that it could be ignited by lighting a fuse.
  • Mining

    Mining causes air pollution to the atmosphere in several ways. The equipment that digs the mine and extracts the ore or minerals is usually powered by fossil fuels such as diesel or gasoline engines. The mine might also release poisonous gases that were trapped below the surface. If the mine is a coal mine, then burning that coal pollutes the atmosphere long after the mining process is complete, further polluting the atmosphere.
  • Oil Well leak and explosion in the Bay of Campeche

    An oil well off the culf of Mexico collapsed and exploded leaking over 492103531.92L (130Millions gallons) of oil leakek into the ocean.This damges the Hydrosphere.This applies to all oil leaks.
  • Oil spill

    In 2004, an 4,800 gallon oil spill covered parts of the Puget Sound. Write an Earth System Analysis describing how the event has affected each sphere and how the spheres have effected another
  • Christchurch Earthquake

    The Christchurch earthquake caused damage to te lithosphere because of its destroying the land and stone beneth the land.This applies to all earthquakes.
