What term refers to the sun's energy being trapped in our atmosphere?
the greenhouse effect
Heat energy trapped by particles in the atmosphere warms the Earth naturally through?
which of the following describes characteristics of the stratosphere
What causes Solar energy to be trapped by gases in Venus's atmosphere causes .?
As carbon dioxide built up in Venus' atmosphere, more thermal radiation was trapped. The increasing heat released more CO2 into the atmosphere which trapped even more thermal radiation.
Is osmosis a natural process?
Yes because it does not require energy
Which process do heterozygous organisms use to release energy?
natural selection
How does the suns energy trapped in the atmosphere?
Carbon in the atmosphere traps it like in a greenhouse.
What is a heat energy that is trapped by the earth atmosphere and cannot return to space?
This is standard heat energy that is trapped by greenhouse gases.
How does the suns energy get trapped in the atmosphere?
Carbon in the atmosphere traps it like in a greenhouse.
What is the term that refers to the suns energy being trapped in your atmosphere?
convection
What term refers to the sun's energy being trapped in our atmosphere?
the greenhouse effect
What kind of energy is trapped in the Earth?
It is geothermal energy, coal energy, and natural gas and oil energy.
What is the natural greenhouse effect in the earth's atmosphere and how humans might be contributing to its effect?
Natural greenhouse effect is good because it keeps the Earth warm and habitable using natural greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Although when there is a "build-up" of these gases, the sun's energy (from sunlight) is trapped between the atmosphere and Earth's surface allowing energy to enter but making it extremely difficult to get out. Thus resulting in a warmer than normal Earth.
How is earths air heated?
Well, the sun gives off energy (or heat). When it hits the Earth's atmosphere, it absorbs that heat or energy. the energy is then trapped in the atmosphere. This is called the "green house effect."
During which process is solar energy trapped for use by organisms?
photosynthesis
How is earth atmosphere affected by solar energy?
The earth's atmosphere is affected by solar energy because the energy creates a greenhouse effect. When the radiation of the sun makes the earth too warm, there will be too much greenhouse gas that gets trapped in the atmosphere.
What term refers to the suns energy being trapped in your atmosphere?
Warm air. The greenhouse effect. Weather.
Process of breaking down carbohydrates to resleased trapped energy?
cellular respiration
