pollution dome ^^

    Cards (25)

    • Evidence from the diagram suggesting pollution Dome occurs at night
    • Importance of pollution Dome
    • More industrial activity in cities leads to the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases
    • Greenhouse gases are emitted as pollutants
      They try to rise but are prevented from rising by the presence of an inversion above them
    • Explanation of pushing down
    • Definition of a pollution Dome
    • Presence of terrestrialization during the night leads to more pollutants around the city
    • Presence of less vegetation in cities leads to less oxygen and more carbon dioxide concentration
    • Pollution Dome is mostly concentrated during the night
    • Combustion reactions in vehicles lead to the release of pollutants like carbon dioxide
    • Explanation of pollution Dome formation
    • How pollution forms increase temperatures in a city
      Warm air rises as terrestrial radiation and is trapped by pollutants, forming warm conditions around the city
    • Explanation of the negative impacts of pollution domes on people during Winter
    • The stone shape implies that the pollution Dome doesn't disappear at night
    • During the night, pollutants are trapped and warm air rises, forming warm conditions around the city
    • Negative impacts of pollution domes on people are greater in Winter
    • The pollution Dome is most concentrated at night
      Due to the shape
    • Pollutants can also form artificial clouds above the city, trapping terrestrial radiation and increasing warm conditions
    • Reason why pollution domes are more concentrated at night
      More subsiding cold air during the night suppresses the pollutants from rising
    • The pollution Dome is occurring at night
    • Success provides sustainable strategies to reduce the occurrence of pollution domes in cities
    • Explanation of the negative impacts of the positives on people living in the city during winter
    • Causes of pollution dome
      Usage of many cars in the cities, industrial activities
    • In winter, there are cold conditions and strong subsidence of cold air, leading to dense and cold pollution dome over the city
    • Management and reduction strategies for pollution dome
      Encouraging less car usage, planting more vegetation, creating green belts or gardens on buildings, decentralizing industrial activities away from the city
