What is the amount of heat energy in the earths atmosphere is referred to as?
Longwave radiation.
You would have no wateron the earth in 3000 years if it were not for the water cycle the earths water cycle is very important because because it controls?
The amount of water.
What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation
How does the ozone layer reduces the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches earths surface?
Ozone layer contains ozone molecules in abundance. These molecules decompose themselves to absorb ozone.
What effect does the earths magnetic field have on the intensity of cosmic rays striking the earths surface?
The earth's magnetosphere acts as a shield to deflect harmful energies away.
Why doesn't the ultraviolet radiation from the sun reach the ground?
It does, but in very small amounts because it is absorbed by Earths atmosphere. The ozonosphere blocks most of the UV radiation from striking the surface of earth.
How does volcanic ash in earths atmosphere effect solar radiation?
It increases the amount of solar radiation that reflect into space
What is the amount of heat energy in the earths atmosphere is referred to as?
Longwave radiation.
What is the earths sunblock?
The ozone layer acts as a sort of 'sunblock' for the earth, limiting the amount of UV radiation that enters the atmosphere.
How does the ozone layer reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches earths surface?
Ozone is (relatively) opaque to ultraviolet light.
The earths surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by?
the answer is radiation
You would have no wateron the earth in 3000 years if it were not for the water cycle the earths water cycle is very important because because it controls?
The amount of water.
What does the earths surface emit?
Infrared radiation.
What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation
Why does earths atmosphere absorb radiation?
It absorbs radiation to protect it. It protects from UV rays.
How is the moon special to the earth?
the moon controls the tides on earth and so our rotation speed and so the amount of hours in a day..it gives a ryhthm to earths existence
What type of radiation is reflected away from the earths surface?
Long-wave radiation and visible light.
