On January 22, 1943, the northern and eastern slopes of the Black Hills of South Dakota were at the western edge of an Arctic airmass and under a temperature inversion. A layer of shallow Arctic air hugged the ground from Spearfish to Rapid City. At about 7:30am MST, the temperature in Spearfish was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The Chinook kicked in, and two minutes later the temperature was 45 degrees above zero. The 49 degree rise in two minutes set a world record that is still on the books. By 9:00am, the temperature had risen to 54 degrees. Suddenly, the Chinook died down and the temperature tumbled back to -4 degrees. The 58 degree drop took only 27 minutes.

But quantitatively, it is rising at about 0.15 C/decade now.

Which is affected most by increasing the temperature of the waterhow fast salt dissolves or how fast sugar dissolves?
it would have to be how fast the salt dissolves because a non polar sugar would not dissolve in water.
What is happening to earths average tempretature?
Earth's average temperature has been generally increasing for over a century, and moreso in recent decades (about 0.2C/decade in the last few).
Increasing the surface area between solute and solvent increases what?
Will increase the rate of dissolution and hence how fast the solute is dissolved.
What are earths compositional layers in order of increasing density?
Crust, mantle, and then core.!(:
What planet has temperature closest to the earths?
Mars
The temperature of earths interior is increasing with depth decreases with depth is the same through out or is highest near the equator?
highest near equator
How does temperature of earths crust compare to the temperature of earths interior?
it depends on the deepth
Is the earths radius and surface area increasing?
no
Which is affected most by increasing the temperature of the waterhow fast salt dissolves or how fast sugar dissolves?
it would have to be how fast the salt dissolves because a non polar sugar would not dissolve in water.
What is the name given to temperature increasing with increasing depth?
The temperature gradient.
What is happening to earths average tempretature?
Earth's average temperature has been generally increasing for over a century, and moreso in recent decades (about 0.2C/decade in the last few).
What is the reason for the rise in the average air temperature at the earths surface?
The Industrial Revolution began increasing the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere when we started burning fossil fuel.
What will result from increasing the temperature of gas?
Increasing the temperature of gas the volume increase.
How would increasing the temperature setting on a washing machine affect how fast the detergent will dissolve?
detergent would dissolve at a faster rate
How does increasing temperature affect the solubility of a gas solute?
Increasing the temperature of a solvent decreases the solubility of a gas Generally, increasing solvent temperature decreases the solubility of gases.
What is the effect of increasing the temperature of the pH of water?
Increasing the temperature will cause the pH to decrease.
Why Energy activation decreases by increasing temperature?
It doesn't. Increasing temperature adds energy.
