What is the flattest area on earth?
The area around the poles.
What is the earth's lonosphere?
The area extending from 80km above the eart's surface to the edge of the atmosphere--the second-most outer layer, second only to the exosphere. Here free electrons can exist for short periods of time before they are captured by a nearby positive ion. The existence of charged particles at this altitude and above, signals the beginning of the ionosphere a region having the properties of a gas and of a plasma.
How does the angle at which the sun's rays strike the Earth affect the temperature at the Earth's surface?
If the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface at a direct spot, which is usually around the equator, that area would be the warmest. Any area that is far away from the sun's rays is usually cold.

Which area on the illustration represents the largest reservoir of nitrogen on earth?
The illustration that represents the largest reservoir of nitrogen on earth should display the atmosphere. The atmosphere of earth contains around 78.09 % nitrogen.
One effect of the magnetic lines of force around the earth is an area of charged particles called the?
The Aurora.
One effect of the magnetic lines of force around the earth is an area of charged particles called the what?
Van Allen belts
What surrounds the Earth's atmosphere?
The magnetosphere, an area of charged particles that interact with the solar wind.
What is an area of charged particles that is formed as one effect of the magnetic lines of force around the earth called?
Such areas are called Van Allen belts.
Do charged particles from solar wind come closest to Earth at the equator?
No. Charged particles come closest to Earth at the poles. This is because the Earth's magnetosphere has magnetic field lines that are generated from and reenter the poles. As such, the area near the equator is most protected by the magnetosphere, as it extends outward from the poles, surrounding the Earth. And the magnetosphere is weakest at the points of intersection at the poles. When charged particles are deflected by the magnetosphere, they follow these magnetic field lines, and reenter our atmosphere at the poles. High-energy radiation generated by these charged particles interacting with gases in the atmosphere is the reason for the auroras (Northern and Southern lights). This is why, subsequent to a solar flare that sends a strong wind of particles toward the Earth, you are likely to see more intense auroras. Because of the nature of fusion (which makes the sun what it is, as an active star), the most common particles composing the solar wind are: neutrinos (neutral particles, very small masses), electrons (negatively charged, often easily deflected by the magnetosphere), and protons (positively charged, the largest danger to us from the solar wind, because they counter the charge of the magnetosphere and reenter our atmosphere most easily).
How big are Auroras?
Auroras have no definite size. They occur when charged particles from the Sun ionize particles in the upper atmosphere as they spiral in toward Earth's magnetic field. Auroras may be localized in one area, or may extend from horizon to horizon in the sky.
Who was the one who stated that electrons are found in definite orbits?
Neils Bohr, in 1913. He depicted an atom as a small area of positively charged particles in the middle and electrons circulating this in orbits around the outside.
What is the flattest area on earth?
The area around the poles.
The lines of magnetic force generated by the fluid motions of the earth's core results in the formation of what?
A.) magnetic north and south poles B.) north magnetic pole C.) north pole D.) north and south poles E.) south magnetic pole these are the options ^^
What is area around an electric charge which is strongest closest to the charged particle?
electric field
What is a passive transport that moves particles away from areas with more particles into areas with fewer particles in order to spread them out?
This is called diffusion, but it is a purely statistical process - randomly moving particles have a higher probability of spreading from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration than the other way around, simply because there are more of them in the area of high concentration.
Why the water flows faster through the cylinders containing large particles than through the cylinders containing smaller particles?
because the surface area of the larger particles propels them faster which has a recipical effect on the water around the particles
