How does the angle of the sun hitting the earth affect the temperature of the earth?
Sunlight is at its strongest when it is at a perpendicular angle; at oblique angles it is weaker.
Can an earthquake be caused by temperature?
Not by temperature variations at Earth's surface, no. However, temperature variations in Earth's mantle play a role in plate tectonics, and so can affect earthquake activity.
How does large permanent ice surfaces affect your earth climate?
it makes the temperature cooler
How will burning forests affect the average temperature of the Earth?
When forests burn they release carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas which tends to make the Earth warmer.
Why doesn't the angle of the moon affect the temperature on earth?
The Moon is cold . . . it is bright only because it reflects Sunlight.
How does the angle of the sun hitting the earth affect the temperature of the earth?
Sunlight is at its strongest when it is at a perpendicular angle; at oblique angles it is weaker.
How are oblique rays different from vertical rays?
Obviously the angle of incidence is different. The oblique rays spread their energy over a larger area of the surface than vertical (also called perpendicular or normal rays)
All of the solar energy intercepted by the earth arrives as oblique rays?
Oblique.
How does location on earth affect temperature?
The equater.
How does greenhouseeffect affect the air?
Increasing the temperature of the earth atmosphere.
Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.
What is an oblique photo?
Photographs taken from the air are categorised as (1) vertical, (2) oblique, and (3) fan.Vertical photographs are those taken by a camera whose optical axis is perpendicular to the surface of the earth (photographs taken with the optical axis up to 6o from the vertical are still classified as being 'vertical').Oblique photographs are those taken with the optical axis of the camera between the vertical and the horizontal. Hiqh obliques include the horizon. Low obliques do not include the horizon.Fan photographs are air photographs taken by cameras that are synchronised that side lateral coverage is obtained from a single flight line, using a split-pair of cameras, trimetrogon (three cameras fitted with wide-angle lenses), or multi-cameras
How does each factor affect earth's temperature?
The earth's temperature is affected by wind and precipitation. These two factors help to cool down the temperature when its hot. Without them, the earth would begin to over heat.
Can an earthquake be caused by temperature?
Not by temperature variations at Earth's surface, no. However, temperature variations in Earth's mantle play a role in plate tectonics, and so can affect earthquake activity.
What is the different between oblique rays and vertical rays?
Either the answer will be that they contain more solar energy, it strike's the earth at an angle greater than 90 degrees, or it could be that they spread energy over a larger surface area.
How did gravitational contraction affect earth?
Gravitational contraction raised the temperature of Earth early in it's formation.
Is earth axis tilted curved vertical vertical or horizontal?
Earth's axis is tilted to about 11 degrees from the vertical.
