How does the atmosphere form?
The Earth's atmosphere is made mainly of nitrogen(78%) and oxygen(21%) and small amount of argon(0.93%) and CO2 (0.03%) and other gases(0.04%)
Why does not Co2 form the lower layer in the atmosphere?
CO2 weighs 44 and it is heavier than Nitrogen and Oxygen...it is denser than Oxygen still it is able to mix with other gases in the atmosphere
Why can elements be produced in the sun but not in the earth atmosphere?
Over time, the fusion reactions can form as the reactions that form nuclei of slightly heavier elements, such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. Thank you = )
Carbon in the atmosphere is most often found as which of the following compounds?
List the compounds so I can answer your question. I would imagine Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide would be the first 2.
Do tornadoes most likey form between 3pm and 9pm?
Yes. This is when the atmosphere is usually the most unstable.
Why is nitrogen gas is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen cannot form solid minerals on the Earth.
What are the most common form of oxygen?
It is the second most common gas in the atmosphere, (21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen. 1% other gasses).
What elements are most organisms unable to take from the atmosphere?
nitrogen
What is the form of most of the nitrogen in the world?
Nitrogen is present as amino acids in plants which is an important factor for growth. It is formed when lightening strikes and a chemical reaction is produced and the nitrogen produced is adsorbed by the plants. Example of an amino acid - Nitrobactor.Nitrogen also occurs as the following in air:-Nitrogen oxideNitrous oxideNitrogen dioxideNitratesNitrogen is mixed with hydrogen to form ammonia which is a fertiliser.
The effects of lighting to nitrogen in the atmosphere?
Lightning helps in the production of a form of nitrogen. Lightning causes oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere to chemically react to combine and form nitrogen oxide, a key ingredient in many fertilizers.
Is nitrogen an organic substance?
The only organic nitrogen source I have found to date. The worlds 1st.14-0-0 analysis. Water soluble.It depends on the form. Nitrogen in the atmosphere can be converted to organic nitrogen by nitrogen fixation.
Where is nitrogen found in its elemental form?
Nitrogen gas is found in the air. It is the most abundant gas there, comprising about 4/5 of the air.
Where is nitrogen currently found?
Over half of the mass of the natural atmosphere is gaseous nitrogen, and large amounts of nitrogen also exist in the form of nitrate salts in the Earth and various compounds in the biosphere.
Do animals take in nitrogen directly from the atmosphere?
Since 78.08% of the Earth's atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, yes. But it cannot be used in biological processes. The nitrogen animals use comes in the form of nitrogen compounds acquired from food. Ultimately, the nitrogen used by most living things is produced by nitrogen-fixing bacteria which do use nitrogen from the atmosphere, these compounds are then taken in and used by plants.
When there is not enough nitrogen in the atmosphere for plants how do the plants get it?
Plants do not actually get their nitrogen from the atmosphere. They get it in compounds in the soil through their roots. Some plants form symbiotic relationships with bacteria in the soil. The bacteria draw nitrogen from the air and form nitrogen compounds. The plants can then use the nitrogen.
If nitrogen in the atmosphere is not a form plants can use how do they get nitrogen what is this process called?
they get threw their roots and it is called nitrogen fixation
If nitrogen in the atmosphere is not in a form plants can use how do they get nitrogen what is this process called?
they get threw their roots and it is called nitrogen fixation
