What is the atmosphere bound to the earth by?
The force of gravity binds the hydrosphere and lower atmosphere to earth.
Why does air pressure becomes lower as water molecules are added to the air?
Air pressure is the weight of the air at a specific location. On the surface of the earth, we have the entire weight of the atmosphere pressing on us in the form of air molecules like O2, N2, and CO2. As we go higher and higher into the atmosphere, there are fewer molecules and so there is less weight pressing against us.
What layers of the atmosphere contains ozone layers?
The stratospheric region contains ozone layer. It protects us from UV rays.
What is it called when lower layers are pressed together by upper layers on a rock?
Compaction.
Is the good ozone located in the earth's lower atmosphere?
No, the good ozone is present in the stratosphere region of the atmosphere. The one located in the lower atmosphere is bad.
What is lower layer of atmosphere?
The atmosphere as we know it, has got 4 layers. Troposphere is the lowest.
What layer of the atmosphere is Boeing?
Boeing aircraft can fly in the troposphere and lower stratosphere layers of Earth's atmosphere.
Why is there more pressure in lower atmosphere?
Air molecules are piled up on each other in our atmosphere. The lower the air molecules, the more weight they're under causing more pressure. Higher up the molecules have more space to move around in resulting in lower pressure.
What are the divisions of the atmosphere primarily based on?
The divisions of the atmosphere are not based on the presence of ozone. Ozone exists in all layers of the atmosphere, with a peak in the lower stratosphere. Ozone is considered a free radical, not an ion. Ions are found in the "ionosphere" which is also called the thermosphere, where the Sun's ionizing energies rip the molecules apart (and fresh ions arrive from the Sun).
What layer of the atmosphere do Boeing 747s fly in?
The Boeing 747 can fly in the troposphere and lower stratosphere layers of Earth's atmosphere.
What is the atmosphere bound to the earth by?
The force of gravity binds the hydrosphere and lower atmosphere to earth.
What are four layers that make up Earths atmosphere?
lower core, upper core, mantle, and crust
What reacts with molecules in lower atmosphere to produce poisons?
Air pollution
Why carbon dioxide gas is not present in lower layer of atmosphere?
it is present in all layers. What gave you the idea it wasn't?
Why troposphere is densest part of the atmosphere?
gravity helps pull down the layers of the atmosphere and the upper atmosphere is further away so its going to have less of a pull on it there for being less dense then the closest atmosphere. hoped that helped.
What effect does the altitude of the atmosphere have on its density?
Simply put, the higher the altitude, the lower the density of the air molecules.
Did sputnik 1 crash?
In a way. It's orbit got lower and lower, until it burned up when it started hitting the denser layers of Earth's atmosphere.
