The impact of technology on the

cryosphere

The impact of technology on the cryosphere is Global warming.

Since the industrial revolution many inventions such as steam locomotives and
automobiles were created, with that factories were opened. Over time many and
many more machine and factories have been produced, thereby, the emission of
toxic gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by burning fossil fuels such as
coal, oil and natural gas that are used to fuel machines and to produce energy to
create goods, causes a lot of global emissions.
Global warming occurs when Carbon dioxide (CO2) and other air pollutants such
as methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, and synthetic fluorinated gases
(commonly known as greenhouse gases and their effect is known as greenhouse
effect) come together into the atmosphere and absorb the sunlight and solar
radiation that bounced off the earth surface. The heat created by the sunlight and
solar radiation will slowly raise the global temperature over decades, and will
completely melt the cryosphere, putting the life of all living beings in it at risk.

The impact of technology on the biosphere

Over years, pollution can be found over years putting the biosphere at risk.
Because of the human activity, pollution is not the only problem, there’s the
problem of carbon dioxide accumulating in the atmosphere which causes global
warming, and also there’s the problem of Depletion of natural resources.

Depletion of natural resources is the consumption of a resource faster than it can

be replenished. Natural resources consist of those that are in existence without
humans having created them and they can be either renewable or non-
renewable. There are several types of resource depletion, with the most severe
being aquifer depletion, deforestation, mining for fossil fuels and minerals,
contamination of resources, soil erosion and overconsumption of resources.
These mainly occur as a result of agriculture, mining, water usage and
consumption of fossil fuels, all of which have been enabled by advancements in
technology.
