What is a layer of changed particles above earth?
The Ionosphere is one layer of charged particles above the Earth, and is important for High Frequency radio communication. There are several layers in the ionosphere, and since they weren't certain that the first one identified was not guaranteed to be the lowest, it was given the name of 'the e-layer'. Above it are some f-layers, and below it a d-layer. Some of these are at least in part controlled by the UV from the Sun.
What is the point above the focus on the earth's surface called?
The epicenter
What is the portion of atmosphere 10-25 miles above the earth is called?
stratosphere
In which era was Earth the hottest?
The era in which Earth was the hottest was called the Archaean era. This was when the ocean temperatures were above 100 degrees.
What is a photography taken from above the earth called?
Earthrise is the name given to a photograph of the Earth taken by astronaut ... Rowell called it "the most influential environmental photograph ever taken
A layer of charged particles above earth?
Ionosphere
Layer of charged particles above earth?
The layer of charged particles in Earth's atmosphere is called the ionosphere. The most famous application of this layer is AM radio, which bounces its waves off of the ionosphere for radio receivers to use.
Does Jupiter have Auroras?
Yes Jupiter does have aurorae. This is because Jupiter has a magnetic field that can attract the electrically charged particles emitted from the Sun, as well as the charged particles given off by Jupiter's volcanic moon, Io. The auroral emission is caused by electrically charged particles striking atoms in the upper atmosphere from above. The particles travel along Jupiter's magnetic field lines. This is the same mechanism that causes auroras on Earth

What is the above ground portion of a plant called?
the above portion of the earth is called the earth's crust
What are the charged particles that escape from the corona?
The particles are called solar wind. It is what auroras are, the pretty lights you see in Alaska. They escape the corona continually, and that's why you see them alot.Material in the Sun's corona is continually streaming out into space. The electrically charged particles that flow out in all directions from the corona are called the The solar wind extends throughout our solar system. Most of the solar wind flowing toward Earth is safely guided around the planet by Earth's magnetic field. When solar-wind particles do enter the upper atmosphere, they release energy, which can produce beautiful patterns of glowing light in the sky. Such displays of light are called auroras (uh-RAWR-uhz), or the northern and southern lights. Auroras often occur near the poles. Earth's atmosphere usually prevents charged particles from reaching the surface. However, during the peak of the sunspot cycle, flares and other kinds of solar activity release strong bursts of charged particles into the solar wind. These bursts, called magnetic storms, can disrupt electric-power delivery across large regions by causing surges in power lines. They can also interfere with radio communication. Magnetic storms are much more harmful above the protective layers of Earth's atmosphere. Bursts of particles in the solar wind can damage or destroy orbiting satellites. The solar wind also poses a danger to astronauts during space flights.
How does the number of particles in the air change as you move higher above the earth's surface?
1000
Are air particles more closely packed near earth surface or high above?
yes
What are Beams of charged atomic particles?
All of the Above! - bend in an electrical field - bend in a magnetic field - light up a tv screen Plato :p
All the water above earth is called the?
It is called the hydrosphere.
What is the ionosphere and were is it?
The ionosphere is a layer of earths atmosphere. It is charged with a high concentration of ions. It is above the mesosphere about 50 t0 600 miles above the earth.
What is the material called when its above the earth?
magma
