In the subtropics the saltiest water is generally at the surface, why?
What causes low salinity in the oceans at high latitudes?In subtropical latitudes, high surface evaporation creates high salinity near the sea surface. In subpolar latitudes, high precipitation creates low salinity near the sea surface. As these waters flow into the ocean interior, they create layers of high and low salinity.
What causes air to be denser near earths surface?
Gravity causes air to be denser near Earth's surface.
What is the name for the principle explaining how thermal energy is trapped near the surface of the earth?
it's the greenhouse effect
Cause air to be denser near Earth's surface?
It is gravity that causes air to be denser near Earth's surface. Gravity is also known as gravitation.
Why do you have most of atmosphere near the surface of the earth?
Near surface gravity is more strong which hold atmospher strongly then high
What process causes in the atmosphere to trap heat near the surface of Earth?
greenhouse effect
How does blushing work?
Increased bloodflow to the capilaries near the surface of the skin causes the blushing effect.
The force of attraction that causes a higher density of air molecules near the earth's surface is called?
gravity
What are thermal depressions in meteorology?
They are formed when the surface of the Earth is watmer than the air = typically over lan during summer. They are caused by heating of the air near the ground - the air rises and lifts the pressure surface. It may also turn into a high. Weather expected: Heavy rain, CB, CU, hail, MOD to SEV TURB.
Are air particles more closely packed near earth surface or high above?
yes
What gas is found in high levels near the the surface of the ocean due to plant photosynthesis?
