Document Summary
Water stress index is based on human consumption, so it is linked to population growth. As countries develop, their populations tend to grow more slowly. World population increased significantly as more resources for energy (fossil fuels) and food (fertilizer) became available. Many couples lack access to family planning, 42% of all pregnancies unplanned, 26% end in abortion. Easterlies blow wind from the east, westerlies blow wind from the west. The earth"s surface absorbs much of the incoming radiation from the sun and degrades it to ir radiation, which rises into and warms the lower atmosphere. The less ozone in the stratosphere, the more harmful uv rays that reach earth and humanity. Denitrification: n2 is produced by microorgamisms who convert nitrate (no3) to n2 (nitrogen) Co2, carbon dioxide, produced by respiration and combustion.
