What factors are needed for life?
the rocks, soil, oceans, lakes, rivers, and lower atmosphere
What heats the lower atmosphere?
The lower atmosphere is heated by the ground, which is heated by sunlight.
What is the difference between lower and upper atmosphere?
the name itself. lower atmosphere is nearest to the earth like troposphere and the upper atmosphere is much higher that lower atmosphere like the exosphere.
When was the formation of oxygen atmosphere?
when Earth was hit my carbonic acids, rocks eroded, and granite, carried by rivers, was released into oceans, at some point CO2 was released into the oceans, and stromatolites formed in shallow seas and absorbed the CO2, eventually it spit out oxygen and after oxygen become to much in the sea it moved into an area of lower concentration outside of the ocean and into the atmosphere
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.
Where is most of the water vapor and carbon dioxide in earths atmosphere found?
Upper Part
Which continents are lower than sea level?
None. The are areas below sea level in the continents but the continents themselves are all above sea level.
If the earth is spherical how does the seas and ocean hold the water in place?
Gravity pulls all matter toward the center of the earth. That keeps the water in the lower basins, that are called seas and oceans and are bounded by higher ground called continents and islands.
How is energy transferred within the earth's atmosphere and throughtout the oceans?
Radiation is the only way i came up with. :/
What is the study of the lower atmosphere?
we are walking on
Does light travel faster through the lower atmosphere or through the upper atmosphere?
The speed of light is constant in a given medium.
What ocean can magnify the warming effect?
Any ocean is tied up in the changes of climate change. Oceans are essentially absorbers of heat. This makes the air cooler when i blows over a cool ocean. As the oceans heat up they carry heat to colder northern and southern regions. This directly melts ice (a good reflected of heat and light back to the sky) and allows more heat to be absorbed. Warm oceans will evaporate more water into the atmosphere which cause cloud cover which both reflects light on the outside and contains heat in the lower atmosphere. Warm oceans also absorb less carbon dioxide allowing more to stay in the atmosphere as a heat absorbing greenhouse gas.
