Convection zones in areas of crustal formation like the mid-ocean ridges, or 'hot spots' like the one that created the Hawaiian Island chain.

How is the atmosphere near earths surface heated from below?

The atmosphere near Earth's surface is heated from below primarily through the process of conduction. This occurs as the Earth's surface absorbs solar radiation and heats up, transferring this heat to the adjacent air molecules through direct contact. As the air warms, it becomes less dense and rises, creating convective currents that distribute the heat throughout the atmosphere.


How is earths surface heated and how does it affect the troposphere?

The Earth's surface is heated by the sun's radiation. The heated surface then warms the air in the troposphere through conduction and convection. This heating creates temperature gradients that drive atmospheric circulation patterns and weather systems within the troposphere.

When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?

When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."


How Air near earths surface rises up into the atmosphere as it is heated by?

As air near Earth's surface is heated by the sun, it becomes less dense and lighter than the surrounding air. This lighter, warmer air rises due to convection, creating vertical air currents. As the air rises, it cools and may condense to form clouds and precipitation, playing a key role in the Earth's weather systems.


How are the land air and water heated each day?

During the day, the land is heated mainly by the sun's radiation warming the surface. The air is heated through conduction from the warm surface of the Earth. Water is heated through a combination of direct solar radiation and convection currents transferring heat energy.


What pulls the earths crust?

The earths crust is moved rather than pulled by things called convection currents. This is when heated rock from the earths core rises up and reaches the crust where it cools. It then sinks down again and carries on in a circle which moves the crust
