How is energy transferred within the earth and atmosphere and throughout the oceans?
By convection
How is energy transferred within the earth's atmosphere throughout the oceans?
by Convection
What absorbs the sun energy?
Everything on planet Earth, including the atmosphere, the oceans, the ice caps, the continents, and the man made objects absorb some of the sun's energy. About 30 to 35% of the sun's energy is reflected. Clouds, ice, and snow are good reflectors.
What kind of energy does the atmosphere absorb from the ground after the earth absorbs the infrared rays that the ground?
the answer is thermal
Visible and shortwave radiation heat Earth?
Yes it is. Visible light or Shortwave are radiation and it contain energy, when these radiation hit earth surface some fraction of radiation is absorb and transform from radiation energy to thermal energy.
The oceans cover about what percentage of earth?
75 percent of earth is covered by oceans
What percentage of Earth's water is located in oceans?
96% of Earth's water is in the oceans.
What is the percentage of earth's water is found in the oceans?
97%
What contains the largest percentage of the Earth's water?

What percentage of all the water on earth is found in the oceans?
97%
What percentage of the earth's oceans is made up of salt?
about 90%
How does the earth temperature drops?
1) oceans absorb carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere, thereby bringing down the temperature 2) oceans emit heat from the sunlight they absorb and increase the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere.
How do visible light and infrared energy warm earth?
The Earth and atmosphere absorb the visible and infrared energy and this warms the earth.
Why is the ocean the earth's thermostat?
Too much extra heat, the oceans's absorb it because of the energy required to heat water by the same amount of temperature. Too little heat, and the opposite happens.
What stores much of the energy in the Earth's water cycle?
oceans
What contains the largest percentage of the Earth?
The largest percentage of the earths surface is covered by water mainly the Oceans (about 71%).
