What is it called when a layer of warm air is above and traps a layer of cold air below?
Inversion
Why are 2 thin blankets preferable over a single thick one?
Because air is a great insulator against cold. Between two blankets will be a layer of air, warmed up and kept warm by the heat of your body.
Sleet occurs as water droplets cool in below-freezing temperatures?
Sleet is where a snowflake falls into a warmer surface layer below a cloud and melts, its starts to freeze again in the subfreezig surface layer of air, the partially melted snowflake or cold rain drop refreezes back into tiny translucent ice pellets known as sleet. Freezing rain however, may only reach the surface layer as super cooled liquid drops due to a shallower cold surfce layer beneath the cloud. when the liquid drops strike upon a cold object it immediately spreads out and freezes instantly forming a thin layer of veneer ice.
Is plastic sheeting a good heat insulator?
No, but trapping a thin layer of air (or other gas) between parallel sheets is.
Why does a thermos keep your soup hot when it's cold outside?
Most times its because there is no air in between the outside layer of the thermos and the inside layer of the thermos.
What is a layer of very thin air and very cold temperature above the stratosphere?
mesosphere
What layer of the atmosphere is the air very thin and has little moisture?
The thermoshere is the layer that has very thin air and has little moisture. That is to answer your question!
How does insulation work?
it helps block or keep hot air or cold air or something in or out
The thin layer of air that surrounds Earth is called?
The atmosphere surrounds the earth. It is not a thin layer. It is a very thick layer consisting of various gases.
What is the name of the thin layer that surrounds the earth?
If you mean, thin layer of air, or thin gaseous layer surrounding the earth then the answer is; Atmosphere. But if not, then the other thin layer of earth is; The crust, but its a solid layer.
Why does aluminium not corrode in the presence of air?
Aluminum very rapidly forms a thin layer of aluminum oxide, which is very stable. The layer "passivates" the surface, and it is immune to all but very strong acids or (especially) bases.
A thin layer of weathered rock humus air and water?
Soil is made up of a thin layer of weathered rock, humus, air, and water.
What layer of the atmosphere has layered gases and thin air?
The atmosphere has layered gases. It also has thin air.
What is a thin layer of air that surrounds the earth?
The Atmosphere.
How does an ice storm happen?
An ice storm occurs when there is a layer of warm air between 2 layers of cold air. The precipitation is like freezing rain that freezes in the first layer of cold air then melts in the warm layer then refreezes in the 2nd cold layer.
What is a thin layer of air that surronds the earth?
The very thin layer between the earths crust and the stratosphere is commonly refered to as the troposphere.
What is a thin layer of air that protects the earths surface?
the atmosphere
