Why does intensity of sunlight affect weather?
Sunlight is a kind of fuel for thunderstorms. The warm air causes an updraft when it collides with cold air. Also, sunlight intensity affects the temperature. That is why the temperatures at the equator are usually high because the places near the equator get direct sunlight.
How physical weathering begins?
Physical weathering begins the moment a rock body is uplifted and fractured, or exposed to the atmosphere, along with it's differences in temperature, sunlight, and water.
What Location on earth relative to equator helps determine the amount of sunlight on area receives?
The two factors affecting sunlight intensity are latitude and time of year
What are the two ways in which the sunlight increases the rate of transpiration?
generally speaking, transpiration speeds up when light intensity increases because the stomata respond to changes in light intensity. the other reason is that that sunlight may also warm up the leaves and increase evaporation.
What color is sunlight?
The sunlight is every color we can see. Technically, the colour temperature of noon sunlight in Washington DC is rated at 5,400 Kelvin.
How variations in the intensity of sunlight can cause temperature differences on earth surface?
hi
Which factors affect the rate of photosynthesis and how?
amount of sunlight amount of carbon dioxide amount of water intensity of sunlight temperature and how idk

What are the 3 main factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Light, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature.
What is pyrite weathered by?
Pyrite is weathered by both exposure to sunlight and to rain or temperature variations. The mineral is relatively easily weathered.
How the energy in waves originally came from the Sun?
The energy from waves is usually caused by the wind; the wind is caused by temperature differences among different parts of Earth; and these temperature differences are caused by the sunlight.
Environmental factor that can affect the rate of photosynthesis?
If your doing Mr.D's crossword it is temperature
What is a nonliving limiting factor?
Nonliving limiting factors are also known as abiotic factors. They include the temperature of the air, the temperature of the soil, sunlight intensity, nutrients in the soil, and the speed of the wind.
What are 4 factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Maybe a blockout of sunlight or not enough access to water and the temperature may be too low to slow photosynthesis down
What percent of sunlight is red light approx 650 nm?
To be more clear, what is the percentage of the intensity of red light compared to the total intensity of sunlight at the earth's surface?
What does the earths tilted axis cause?
The tilting of the Earth on its axis exposes the planet to different levels of sunlight, this in turn causes temperature variations and results in what is known as seasons.
What is the temperature in the sunlight zone?
Warmer that the temperature in areas not bathed in sunlight.
