Which wave type is formed when the waves reach the Earths surface?
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.
What kind of radiation passes through the atmosphere and reaches the earths surface?
highlight factors which show that heat from the sun does reach th earth surface by convection
How is crude oil brought to earths surface?
oil rigs- they drill in the ground (or in the ground under the sea) until hey reach a pocket of oil. they then connect the pocket to a pipeline and pump it to the surface
How high is the stratoshpere above the earth?
The stratosphere begins about 10 kilometers (6 miles) above the Earth, or at an altitude of about 33,000 feet. Commercial aircraft travel in the lower stratosphere, where the air is thinner and aerodynamic drag is lower. Towering cumulonimbus clouds can reach into the stratosphere from the troposphere, and rarely high cirrus clouds (including condensation trails from aircraft). The stratosphere extends to about 50 kilometers (31 miles) above the surface. The stratosphere is closer at the polar latitudes, with the lower limit being about 8 kilometers (5 miles).
What is the point of origin of an earthquake called as opposed to the spot on the surface of the earth directly above this center?
The point of initial rupture is called the focus. The point above the focus where the seismic waves first reach the surface is the epicenter. The focus is underground, and the epicenter is on the surface, basically. I hope this helped. :-) NOTE: the focus may also be referred to as the hypocenter. They're the same thing.
What part of the troposphere is a cumulonimbus cloud located?
The Cumulonimbus cloud develops in the lower part of the troposphere, near the Earth's surface, and can reach high into the troposphere. This cloud can be a sign of dangerous storms to come.
Which wave type is formed when the waves reach the Earths surface?
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.
Which wave type is formed when the wave reach the earths surface?
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.
Is it true that only three or four meteorites reach earths surface each year?
No it is not true. Many, many meteorites reach the earth's surface.
What do you think happened to the balloons that are used to carry instrument high into the atmosphere when they reach high altitudes?
I would assume that they would pop somewhere above the troposphere at about 35 kilometers, because it is said that balloons pop when they enter the stratosphere which is located directly above the troposphere. The troposphere is around 30 kilometers thick.
Does mount Everest reach the troposphere?
no
When uplifted rocks reach the earths weathering erosion and deposition begin?
when uplifted rocks reach the Earth's Surface, weathering, erosion, and deposition begin
Which type of light energy found in solar radation is most likely to reach the earths surface?
visible light
What is the defintion of valcanoe?
a place in the earths surface through wich molten rock and other materials reach the sruface
What kind of radiation passes through the atmosphere and reaches the earths surface?
highlight factors which show that heat from the sun does reach th earth surface by convection
What can molten rock pass through to reach the earths surface?
It has to have a big hole in the middle or if it is magma then it can pass threw easily.
What are seismic waves that reach the earths surface and travel outward?
the one with the most damege is the surface wave because they are on the surface of earth. but p-waves are the second and s-waves are the third
