How does earths atmosphere make condtions on earth suitable for living things?
You have that the wrong way round, LIVING things have changed Earth's atmosphere to make it suitable for them. When Earth first came into being, the atmosphere was NOT like it is now, it could not sustain the life that exists today. Over Geological time tiny bacterial organisms generated the Oxygen that we have in our air today, and altered the whole environment of the planed in doing so. Thus the driving factor is LIFE not the atmosphere.
How did life affect earths atmosphere?
The atmosphere is of vital importance for life on earth. Without atmosphere life would be impossible. It gives us air to breathe and protects us from meteorites and ultraviolet rays from the sun. The atmosphere absorbs so much heat that temperatures on earth are such that life is possible.
What is water called that exists in the atmosphere?
Water existing in gaseous form makes up the water found int the atmosphere and this is called Water-vapor.
Where does 2 percent of all of the earths water exists in solid form?
Glaciers, Ice caps, and permanent snow
How has the earths atmosphere changed?
The earths atmosphere has significantly altered over the years. The process of the earth's atmosphere was recognized and evolved 2.7 billion years ago, forming the nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere that exists today. This change enabled the formation and beginning of the ozone layer (which along with magnetic fields) block solar radiation.
How does Earths atmosphere affect life on Earth?
The "ozone", as we call it, exists in the stratosphere of our atomoshpere. The ozone protects life from ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
What is oxygens source?
Oxygen comes from plants as the undergo photosynthesis. In photosynthesis they absorb water and basically split it and O2 in the water is released by the plants through the stomata. Oxygen also just exists in our atmosphere.
How has earth atmosphere changes since it first formed?
The earths atmosphere has significantly altered over the years. The process of the earth's atmosphere was recognized and evolved 2.7 billion years ago, forming the nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere that exists today. This change enabled the formation and beginning of the ozone layer (which along with magnetic fields) block solar radiation.
Which gas exists in the highest concentration in the earth atmosphere?
Nitrogen is about 79% of the Earth's atmosphere.
What is work atmosphere?
The feeling and ambience that exists where you work.
An air temperature of 95DC most often exists in which layer of the atmosphere?
The air temperature of 95 degrees Celsius most often exists in the thermosphere layer of the atmosphere.
What atmosphere exists in Mercury?
No atmosphere as all gaseous state evaporate due to its solar proximity.,
What are three ways carbon is released back to the atmosphere?
The burning of woodThe burning of fossil fuelsRespiration
What do animals and man get carbon from?
Carbon exists as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis. All food chains start with plants so herbivores get carbon by eating plants and carnivores get carbon by eating herbivores.
Do jet streams cause Earths wind?
No, the jet stream is an area of very strong wind located in the middle-upper part of the troposphere. It exists for a variety of reasons, but its presence influences the general circulation (wind) of the atmosphere very little.
Why did the earth's atmosphere change after it was first formed?
The earths atmosphere has significantly altered over the years. The process of the earth's atmosphere was recognized and evolved 2.7 billion years ago, forming the nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere that exists today. This change enabled the formation and beginning of the ozone layer (which along with magnetic fields) block solar radiation.
