Science is still unable to predict earthquakes with any accuracy, and the nature of the quake and the damage it causes will depend on numerous factors, such as the depth of the quake (in this case it was shallow, meaning more ground shaking) and the nature of the rocks.he quake happened in one of the worldâs most active seismic zones, the great transglobal mountain belt that stretches from the Pyrenees in the far west through the Alps, Caucasus and Himalaya ranges to the forested hills of south-east Asia.
Ways to Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions. There are three primary methods for reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: employing energy efficiency and conservation practices; using carbon-free or reduced-carbon energy resources; and capturing and storing carbon either from fossil fuels or from the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: 1  allows sunlight and heat into the atmosphere, but doesn't let it get out, causing the Earth to heat up. 2  along with water vapor, methane, and a few other gases keep the Earth from becoming a deep freeze on the side away from the Sun. In other words, because of carbon dioxide, but mostly water vapor, plant and animal life can exist on Earth. 2  helps keep the Earth from freezing over in places far from the equator by holding in some of the heat that came from the Sun.
