Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
Satellites are electronic devices placed into orbit to monitor and examine regions which we may not be able observe from earth. These are used routinely to monitor atmospheric ozone, ultraviolet ...
kelvin scale
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
Scale for measuring temperature that sets zero degrees at the point of which molecular motion desists, that is, the point at which there is no heat. It is also known as the absolute scale.

desertification
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
Simply the change of useful land into a desert environment. This influences atmospheric chemistry because the humidity and biospheric gas emissions from the modified biome is modified by this ...
primary particles
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
Small amounts of condensed matter in the atmosphere, often originated from the incomplete combustion of coal and oil or from dust storms and also generated from anthropogenic sources like mining or ...
