The Earth from the Air: Yann Arthus-Bertrand

Product Information

The carbon cycle involves the exchange of the element carbon through Earth’s atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. Carbon, essential for all life on Earth, enters the biosphere many ways. Carbon is one of the gases that make up the atmosphere. It is also ejected during the eruption of volcanoes and ocean vents. This article needs additional citations for verification.

Each journey around the sun, a trip of about 940 million kilometers (584 million miles), is called a revolution. A year on Earth is the time it takes to complete one revolution, about 365.25 days. Earth orbits the sun at a speedy rate of about 30 kilometers per second (18.5 miles per second).

The results may be colourful - with natural patterns of both landscapes and seascapes providing some of the most awe-inspiring shots - but the exhibition also has a serious message. Main article: Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) Rough plot of Earth's atmospheric transmittance (or opacity) to various wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. Saw this in London and was bowled over - so pleased it's now in Birmingham so we can see it again and again. Standard Dry Air is the composition of gases that make up air at sea level. It is a standard scientific unit of measurement. Standard Dry Air is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, neon, helium, krypton, hydrogen, and xenon. It does not include water vapor because the amount of vapor changes based on humidity and temperature. Because air masses are constantly moving, Standard Dry Air is not accurate everywhere at once.

a b Haynes, H. M., ed. (2016–2017), CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (97thed.), CRC Press, p.14-3, ISBN 978-1-4987-5428-6 , which cites Allen's Astrophysical Quantities but includes only ten of its largest constituents. Taken from the air, the pictures show a bird's-eye view of the extraordinary patterns and colours created in landscapes all over the world. Some are the result of human activity - farming, industry or habitation. Others are entirely sculpted by nature itself. For Chris, the photos hold as much allure today as they did when he first saw them in 1999 while running a London art gallery. About 78% of the atmosphere is nitrogen gas, N2, which is unreactive and just sort of hangs around. Earth's early atmosphere consisted of gases in the solar nebula, primarily hydrogen. The atmosphere changed significantly over time, affected by many factors such as volcanism, life, and weathering. Recently, human activity has also contributed to atmospheric changes, such as global warming, ozone depletion and acid deposition.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have atmospheres made mostly of hydrogen and helium. These planets are called gas giants, because they are mostly made of gas and do not have a solid outer crust. A marvelous exhibition. Any images you see on web is no match for the real photos being exhibited. I've seen them in London, but still I can't tell how delighted I am to know that they've come to Birmingham, and immediately send messages to all my friends about the good news, so good it is. No residents of Birmingham should miss it. A real pity they are not going to stay for two years. The hydrosphere is composed of all the water on Earth. Nearly three-fourths of Earth is covered in water, most of it in the ocean. Less than three percent of the hydrosphere is made up of freshwater. Most freshwater is frozen in ice sheets and glaciers in Antarctica, the North American island of Greenland, and the Arctic. Freshwater can also be found underground, in chambers called aquifers, as well as rivers, lakes, and springs. Yann Arthus-Bertrand travelled to Kenya to study the Lions. It was then that he became interested in photography.
