Radiation absorbed per 100 units by water vapor and clouds?
The amount of radiation absorbed per 100 units by water vapor and clouds can vary depending on factors like the amount of water vapor present, cloud density, and the type of radiation (e.g. solar or terrestrial). On average, water vapor absorbs a significant portion of solar radiation and emits it back into the atmosphere. Clouds can further enhance this absorption and scattering of radiation, leading to a net increase in energy absorption compared to clear skies.
What is cycling of material due to differences in density?
Radiation
What is air density?
Air density is the mass of air per unit volume, which changes by temperature, humidity, and elevation. Changes in air density will change its pressure. At mean sea level and 20°C, air has a density of approximately 1.2 kg/m3.
What is the density for a tornado?
A tornado is made almost entirely of air, with smaller amounts of water, dust and debris. Since air is compressible, a tornado will vary in density depending on temperature, elevation, ambient pressure, and the intensity of the tornado. Generally, density would be between 800 and 1,200 kg/m^3.
Why cannot gamma rays pass through lead?
Gamma rays can pass through lead, but the majority of the radiation is "attenuated", or stopped. Only the highest-energy particles which are not stopped by lead will transmit through it. A variety of materials can block, or attenuate, radiation, and the effectiveness of that material to attenuate radiation is in direct relation to the material's density. Other materials such as brass, tungsten, and Cerrobend (TM) can attenuate radiation.
What effect does air density have on the absorption and radiation of energy?
An increase in air density will mean a decrease in the absorption and radiation of energy. An increase of air density causes temperature and pressure to rise.
Differences in density cause energy to be transferred by which method Is it absorption conduction convection or radiation?
convection
What is directly related to the concentration of solutions?
I suppose that you think to the density, viscosity, refractive index, radiation absorption etc.
How does Elevation effects density?
Density isn't affected by elevation. Density = Mass/Volume Therefore elevation has no factor in density.
Air density decreases with elevation increase. Is there an equation to make this calulation?
as you increase elevation (height above sea level0the density of the air decreases.

What would be the most noticeable difference between the rock and the model?
Density would be the most noticeable difference between the rock and the model.
How would elevation of mountains be different if rocks were denser?
By definition, increasing the density of rocks in the mountains would decrease the elevation of mountains. However one could try to reason that increasing the density would cause more increase in uplift and and increase in elevation.
What determines the amount of pressure in a fluid?
change in elevation and change in density
What is cycling of material due to differences in density?
Radiation
Does the percentage of Oxygen drop with elevation?
No. It changes negligably from the standard ~21% regardless of elevation. (at any elevation you can survive at anyway) :p The actual amount of available oxygen does change, due to a decrease in atmospheric density as elevation increases. For example: at 17,700ft (apparently a common Mt. Everest base camp) the air density is approximately 51% of the density at sea level. So you COULD express it as 51% of ~21%, which would be about 10.71%.
