What else can I help you with?
What is produced in the upper atmosphere when sunlight strikes oxygen atoms and causes them to temporarily combine?
Ozone (O3) is produced when sunlight strikes oxygen atoms in the upper atmosphere, causing them to temporarily combine into the ozone molecule. This process is essential for filtering out harmful UV radiation from the sun.
What colours make up the sky?
The sky is actually black but the reflections of sunlight on the sea causes it to appear blue. There are also other causes of the sky colouration. Dust in the upper atmosphere can make it turn red or purple. The last few seconds of the sunset when passing through the waves of the ocean can make it appear green. A grey sky can be from storm clouds. A white sky can be ice in the upper atmosphere.
How does Freon get to the upper atmosphere?
Freon is released into the atmosphere through various human activities, such as air conditioning and refrigeration systems, and then can be transported to the upper atmosphere through diffusion and turbulent mixing. Once in the upper atmosphere, Freon molecules can be broken down by sunlight, releasing chlorine atoms that can catalyze ozone destruction processes.
Reflection of the sun's light from the upper layers of the earth's atmosphere causes?
day and night
Does light travel faster through the lower atmosphere or through the upper atmosphere?
The speed of light is constant in a given medium.
How does CO2 get into the upper atmosphere?
CO2 in the atmosphere exists throughout different layers, but it is mainly transported to the upper atmosphere through atmospheric circulation and mixing processes. Some CO2 molecules can also be carried to the upper atmosphere by volcanic eruptions or in the form of methane, which can be oxidized into CO2 at higher altitudes.
How would the presence of sulphate particles in the atmosphere moderate global warming?
They reflect sunlight into the upper atmosphere to counteract global warming. It would however delay the recovery of the ozone by decades.
The ozone layer causes a temperature increase in the?
stratosphere. This temperature increase is due to the absorption of UV radiation by ozone molecules, leading to a warming effect in the upper atmosphere.
What causes ozone to form naturally in the upper atmopher?
The ozone is formed in the upper atmosphere due to the UV radiations. These radiations help to create ozone due to the high energy they posses.
Why is it a good thing for the ozone layer to be in the upper atmosphere?
It is a good thing for the ozone to be in the upper atmosphere. It is due to the fact that ozone in upper atmosphere forms the ozone layer.
When a rocket breaks through the ozone layer does it grow back?
The ozone layer is not a single place or altitude. It is a rare gas in the upper layers of our atmosphere. When any object passes through the atmosphere, the gas it is traveling through moves around it. The gas returns to the normal mixture within a few minutes. Ozone is everywhere in the upper levels of our atmosphere and the passing of a rocket through the atmosphere has no noticeable affect on the levels of ozone. As long as sunlight and oxygen are in the atmosphere, we will have ozone.
what substance in the upper atmosphere is important to temperature changes in the upper atmosphere layers?
it is the ozone layer in the atmosphere because it is what keeps the atmosphere in check of what is happening in the atmosphere.
