How does earth bounce back heat into the atmosphere?
Warm air rises through convection.
What is the movement of water from earth surface to the atmosphere and back is called?
Water cycle
What is the role of microorganisms in returning nitrogen or carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
this microorganisms is called denitrifying bacteria, it helps to decompose the nutrients (nitrogen) back to the atmosphere. and the process of returning nitrogen or carbon dioxide to the atmosphere is called denitrification.
What happens to most of the sunlight that reaches Earth?
About 50% is absorbed by Earth's surface, about 25% is reflected by clouds, dust, and gases in the atmosphere, about 20% is absorbed by gases and particles in the atmosphere and about 5% is reflected by the surface back into the atmosphere. Also some absorbed energy is radiated back into the atmosphere.
When the heat that is usually radiated back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation gets trapped and forms a dome that holds heat in this is called the what effect?
green house effect

What form is radiation emitted from the earth's surface back into the atmosphere?
Heat rises from the surface of the earth in the form of infra-red radiation.

What happen to vapor as it rises?
It condenses into a cloud up in the atmosphere and then gets precipitated back. We would be talking about the water cycle here. In this question we would be talking about the step called Evaporation. In the cloud, it condenses, that would be the step Condensation. Then when the cloud is full of condensed water, it falls back to the ground as precipitation, not in the same place of course!
What is the relationship between weather and water?
The water cycle is driven by energy from the sun. Liquid water is evaporated and changed into a gas. In this process, energy is absorbed (endothermic). The gaseous vapour rises and circulates in the atmosphere, cools and changes back into a liquid. This process is called condensation and releases energy (exothermic). Tiny droplets of water in the atmosphere accumulate to form clouds, which can return the water to Earth as precipitation, namely rain or snow.
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb thermal energy and radiate it back to earth called?
the greenhouse effect
What is the process that moves water from the liquid state back into the atmosphere as water vapor?
This process is called Evaporation.
Where does water go when it's evaporated?
basically it evaporates into the sky, eventually becoming rain/snow and falls back to earth. It rises into the atmosphere.
Why is the air troposphere unstable most of the time?
Because it is being heated from below, and warm air likes to rise. Solar radiation generally does not heat the atmosphere, but heats the earth's surface, which then radiates thermal energy (heat) back into the atmosphere. Since this warm air rises, there tends to be constant vertical motion in the lower atmosphere, which is the essence of instability.
How can greenhouse gases create a global temperature rises?
As infrared (mainly emitted from the sun) enters our atmosphere it is partly absorbed as heat and partly reflected back into space. However, when greenhouse gasses are present, they reflect the infrared rays back to earth, preventing some of the heat to escape. This can be useful in maintaining the atmosphere's temperature but when there is a large amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere too much heat is trapped, which causes the earth to heat up.
What is the primary process that moves water from liquid state back into the atmosphere as water vapor?
This process is called Evaporation.
